AMD A10-5800k running at very high temps!?! *NEED HELP*

[acepro71]

Under full 100 % load its 100ºC

Idle is 40-50ºC

 

that’s hot as fuk did u over clock ur cpu ?

 

if not did u seat it correctly ?

Try re-seating the CPU

It definitely seems like the cooler was not installed correctly.
Remove the CPU cooler, clean the CPU with isopropyl alchohol, re-apply thermal paste, put a dot in the middle the size of a pea.


Then re-install the CPU cooler, make sure the cooler is created adequate pressure on the CPU socket, if the cooler is installed loosely the temperatures will go crazy.

After that you can go into the bios & under-volt your CPU to improve temperatures even further.

Have you tried under volting at the stock clocks? I have seen where they can undervolt to 1.2-1.25v at stock clocks. This isn't a fix, but it will save from further silicon degradation until you figure out what the problem is.

Try leaving the case covers open also. That helped my Core2Duo go from 70+ to 60ish on stock cooler. Reapplying thermal grease got it to 45s

I own an A10-5800k and I feel your pain, I'm using the stock cooler and hitting 80-85C under prime95 at 3.8ghz, not even enabled the turbo mode.

[reecelander]

Also a 500W PSU is perfectly adequate for an A10 system, I'm running a A10 + HD 7770 with no issues

[mightytech]

Well I actually limited the cpu frequency

[Captain3xtreme]

Have you re-seated the cooler yet? That's insanely hot for an AMD CPU and if you aren't overclocking there is no way it should get that hot. You should probably also reset your CMOS to make sure you haven't adjusted any voltage options.

well stock cooler sucks i use to hit 80 / 85 C when i was playing games it sucked prime 95 took it too 105 C damn ....  so i waited and bought a new cooler

Reseat your cooler, use new thermal paste.  A lot of people complain about  high temps on trinity and richland APUs so you might want to invest a few bucks in a new cooler.

I don't know how AMD's recent stock cooler is but the last one i used (phemon II days) was less than adequate.

I have a NZXT aftermarket cooler (120mm)

I've done both with no luck

I would recommend changing the cooler to something like a Hyper 212 EVO, which has great reviews and keeps things cool.  Not only that but the thermal paste isn't total crap.  I'd recommend not using pre-installed thermal paste as its sometimes not optimal and I also recommend putting on a little bit of thermal paste and spreading it across, as doing the pea method can be easy and faster but if not done exactly right can lead to high temps.  If the PC has a graphics card it also might help to move it down.  Also get a decent psu, if not already and set the BIOS settings to default, that might help.  Please also mesure the ambient temps in the front and the exhaust, to make sure the fans aren't bad.  I also used to use an APU and got 90c during idle... CRAZY! so I've never used one again. Also keep in mind that your cooler might not have direct contact heat pipes like the 212 EVO which could cause thermal paste to go in between the gaps, Hope this helps ;D 

 

Please also tell me what cooler, PSU, Motherboard, GPU (if any) and case the system has, I can do some research and ask around.

If you have got a dedicated graphics card, my guess would be that the Integraded one is producing a good amount of heat aswell.. so you may take a look into this, and try using AIDA64 as Temperature reading tool, hence its working for all my AMD CPu's i have/had

PSU is a corsair GS 700 GPU is discrete and case is this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1709407&CatId=1844

Might be the case, its rare though. Can you check the thermal paste and make sure its evenly spreadout with no holes or to thick?
