Heat problems

Hello everyone.

 

I have a fx 8350 with a Noctua NH-U9B cooler on it.

I have a Asus r9 290 with the stock cooler.

I have 3 120mm fans 1 mounted on the back and one on the top both as exhaust and one in front as intake.

 

In some games my CPU goes up to 70 degrees, which is the top heat after it starts to throttle. In Battlefield 4 it hits 71 and throttles from time to time. My gpu is running on 94 degrees, with it's fan at 55%, to lower the noise.

In any other game the CPU is running around 65 degrees. 

 

My question is, is it because the GPU is running so hot, or are there some BIOS settings to be made, or something like that ? Amd overdrive is also off.

Also, what should i do to lower these temps ? I was considering water cooling the GPU, but I do not know for sure that's why the CPU is going so hot.

I wouldnt go over 65C with AMD...Have you OCed your 8350? What about the airflow in the case? My 8320 OCed at 4.0GHz on stock cooler never even exceeded 65C

Get another fan bringing air into the system.

Also have you overclocked the CPU? Because amd chips run very hot anyway so it's not ideal to be overclocking with a relatively weak cooler.

Also I may be wrong about this, but I don't think your CPU should be throttling at 70c, mabye have a look into the bios.

As for you GPU, forget about nosie, you have to get then temps down. I know they advertise that it's supposed to run at 95c but it's pretty unhealthy, so let your fans run at a higher rpm.

Also what case do you have?

Thanks for replying so fast. No, I have not overclocked the CPU nor the GPU.

My case is Cooler Master Elite 370, it's a middletower.

 

edit : As for the throtte, i have looket on many forums about this problem and it seems everyone says that it starts throttleing over 70 degrees. Also, it in idle it stays around 20 degrees.

Umm, 70 is the TJ-Max on FX CPUs, so it absolutely should be throttling. The OP has insufficient airflow and may even have a poorly mounted HSF.

ok fair enough, I didn't know 70 was the max for FX cpus just seemed abit too low.

you don't have enough airflow  i have fx8320 when i have cm k380 midtower case i wos with same problems with not overclocked cpu.temp from 60 to 70c

So I TAKE HAF 922 i overclocked my cpu on 4.67ghz now temps are very good BF4 3 OR 4 hours playing temp is from 45 to 50c

So the best solution would be to get another case, and more fans ?

 

Also, KOTE, what's your cpu cooler ?

at the moment im using neptwin from deepcool very god cooler with low price. Also i have hyper evo 212 with this cooler u will have about 5 to 7 c more so i hope this will help.

So when we talk for more fans this is my air cooling sistem:

front 2x200 700 rmp

top 2x120 1600 rmp

down 1x120 1300rmp

rear 1x120 1600 rmp

side 2x120 1300 rmp

and on my cooler i have 3x120 hight performans fans with 2000 rmp
