Fx 8350 temps

[grimmjow660]

Hey guys my friend has an 8350 with the stock heatsink and used Arctic Silver 5 as the thermal paste and his temps are wayy better than me and his case has bad airflow. We even monitored the temps through 2 different sensors. He idles around 25c to 30c. At load he's around 50c.

On my build I have a 4790k with a cm hyper 212 evo in push/pull and my temps idle around 30-40c and load are around 65c.

I also used Antec Formula 7 as my thermal paste.

What gives?

1. What are your ambient temperatures?

Are you OC'ed?

What's your voltage?

Have you tried reapplying thermal paste (and using some of his?)?

[grimmjow660]

How do I check my cpu voltage?

And my ambient temps are the same as his, around 29c

[SkilledRebuilds]

Comparing two completely different CPU's and expecting temps to be one way or another seems pointless. (Voltages and internals of each CPU are different is what I mean) they will never be exactly the same, unless you changed airflow to make them very similar.

 

If it was two 8350 CPU's in scenario's like you have stated then it's worth discussing, however Intel and AMD CPU's are different beasts in itself, temps may or may not be similar at any given time.

I thought amds cpus run hotter?

[LukaP]

I see a lot of people claiming this. Whilst I haven't looked in to it much, I see Intel temps averaging higher than AMD temps, despite AMD CPUs running on higher voltages.

 

You can check the CPU voltages with CPU-Z or HWmonitor. They aren't as accurate as the BIOS voltage (I think), but should at least give us some sort of idea if the voltage is insanely high.

that is because amd does not have temp probes in its cores, but rather in the socket, so it just aproximates core temps, giving lower values. 

 

as you know, fx is rated to operate up to 60C, while haswell is 90? either AMD uses really cheap silicon, or they adjusted the temps to show less, because i have never heard of silicon that starts degrading at 60C...

My voltages are .018

My voltages are .018

that reading has to be wrong surely.

 

0.018v cpu?

AMD do not use an on die sensor like intel does. At lower temps AMD's reading's are wrong they use an algorithm to calculate an approximate temperature.

[grimmjow660]

Does Asus Ai suite have accurate readings? Also where do I go in the bios to look at voltages?

[Sequence]

Ai Suite will read from either Socket temp or AMD's Approximate so it wouldn't achieve much, as for voltages assuming you have a decent asus mobo then it will be in the Ai Tweaker panel of the bios you may have to go to advanced mode first.

Ok so there's several. It says Cpu core voltae at 1.056

Cpu cache voltage 1.189

Cpu input voltage 1.792

Cpu core voltage is your actual cpu voltage 

 

Cache is the cache on your pc voltage and input voltage is the voltage being put into your cpu

 

for overclocking core voltage is your main focus

So then those voltages are fine then?

So then those voltages are fine then?

Yes perfectly fine.

I would not worry about your temps though they are perfectly fine you only have to start worrying when your hitting 90C
