My CPU is over heating D:

Hey guys, this is Ahsan.

I have been having trouble with my computer lately. Occasionally my CPU gets extremely hot. I have a AMD athlon 750K cpu at 3.4Ghz (not overclocked or anything..) and MSI fm2 motherboard. This has been happening to me since about two weeks now, but occasionally, like every other day or something like that. I am extremely worried. Whenever I turn the computer on I see all the fans are working corectly and everthing.

I checked on the heatsink and everything looks to be mounted correctly. I use the cpu fan that came with the cpu, and note I have had this desktop for about eight months now.

Even at idle the temp are ~70 to 75 C. And when Im gaming (LIGHT gaming... League of Legends) for about 30 minutus the temp are just abnormal; I'm talking about ~90 to 105 sometimes!! D:

I am extremely worried becase school is around the corner and I can't afford to not have a computer around. At the moment I do not have the ability to go buy a laptop or replacement cpu..

Someone please help, what is wrong with my cpu and how to fix.

 

Thank you forum

Is your CPU's cooler functioning correctly? Is the fan spinning?

Do you even have thermal paste.. Maybe replace that if you do, these temps are pretty insane. I don't know what else to say, maybe it's the CPU itself, idk.

Try blowing some compressed air through the heatsink. It might be dusty.

You could get a laptop cooling pad for it to sit on so it wont overheat

Fan working? Proper, tight mount? Thermal paste? AMD temp sensors suck ass?

 

Feel the heatsink at idle. If you want to yank your hand away instantly, it's working. Otherwise... You have a problem, or it's AMD's glorious temp sensors.

All the fans spinning, I have this case opened and airflow might now be the issue.

I have not really applied my own thermal paste when i built it, as it already had preapplied

If there was no thermal paste, it almost wouldn't even boot. An Intel chip lasts from my experiences about a minute before it's thermally shut off, and we all know how insanely hot AMD chips run by comparison.

Okay, so what I would do is simply try more than one temp program. I know that CoreTemp works for me on Intel Z77, but for my mate on AMD 990fx, it changes completely and it displays erratic temps.

Compatible with Windows 95

I can opt for an aftermarket cooler about for 40$

Will that solve my problem? pls

No... you need to reseat the heat sink with fresh thermal compound inbetween it, and the CPU.

Depending on your motherboard you could potentially underclock and undervolt it. The issue here is the same as overclocking as your system can become unstable. It's not something I've personally heard of being done too often, not on desktops at least, and I wouldn't recommend it.

Never done it myself, so I don't know what kind of damage could be done, if any, so if you're lucky, someone with more experience will weigh in here.
