Cpu to Hot - maybe Base clock down?

[IExPeNschI]

I have a probelm

 

i have a amd fx 4100 not OC running with the normal stock cooler

when i am playing lol the cores stay around 65 - 70 degrees and i dont thnik this is good

so i was woundering if maybe i could set the base clock a little down so it cant reach the max GHz 

by the way a have a biostar a960g+ motherboard

I am sorry for my english i am from germany and that is what i learnd in school:D

i would be happy if you could help me

[Zenedge]

65-70 is abit on the high side, but it is still somewhat okay to run it at those temps

 

downclocking that cpu is something i wouldnt do, because why would you buy something, then make it run weaker?

just buy a better cooler

[Stryder721]

i let mine chill around 73C while gaming and it's still handling pretty good, im running an AMD A10-7850k, and plus amd will tend to be a little warmer than intel's line of cpus

First of all the AMD chips run HOT! My 6300 was hitting 90+ degrees whilst gaming, secondly the on-board thermometers are not the best so I would go out and get a Hyper 212 and your temps will half and it will be so much quieter!  

[IExPeNschI]

Coolermaster Hyper 212 and i am fine?

Thanks for the fast answers

You guys realize that the safe thermal limit is 61c?

 

All of you are degrading the life of the chip.

And AMD runs cooler than Intel.

90c lol was that pc literally on fire or what? That's a pretty high temp considering the FX 6300 shuts off at 80c. Nonetheless AMD chips prefer to be much cooler than their Intel counterpart, in my opinion hitting 65c occasionally will not hurt the chip, but anything 70c or over is simply too high for an AMD cpu. Overdrives max temp is 70c as well, they are supposed to throttle themseleves when over that temp.

you should try under volting it more than underclocking it and see if it produces less heat

No but CPU cooler (stock) was hitting 7,500 RPM!

That's BS. Ive got an FX 4300, running since it hit the market until a half year ago, still working. Was running 4.6 GHZ on ~75 degrees on full load. And i highly doubt, that your cyorig can hold ur fx under that 61c on that overclock. My current fx 6300 is running his stable 4.5 ghz since i bought him, no signs of damaging. Load temp is about 65-70 degrees.

I run mine at 4.2 GHz and never top 55c with the Hyper 212!

Yes I could go higer, but my board would catch alight and my house would burn down! 

NEVER BUY A CHEAP MOTHERBOARD! LIKE EVER!

except. It isn't bullshit.

 

Looks like the 6300 is 70.5C, but the 6350 is 61C. Most FX CPU's will list 61C as the safe thermal limit. 

 

Right off AMD's site: http://products.amd.com/en-us/search/CPU/AMD-FX-Series/AMD-FX-8-Core-Black-Edition/FX-8350-with-Wraith-cooler/141

 

Oh, and it does. Synthetic load will breach that limit by a couple of C, but under gaming I sit under it.

Why would amd give u an stock cooler, which breaks that limit by far then? Going higher then this "safe limit" wont do anything.

The stock cooler will not break that limit under normal load, also why do you think that AMD overdrive shows max temp as 70c, you do realize that is the thermal throttle temp on the FX line right? Go ahead and hit 80c and see what happens ( surprise thermal shutdown.) But I guess AMD wouldn't know their cpus max safe operating temps according to this guy, they must simply be that incompetent, that's why single core performance must be so shit too.

I love when people get all pissy about factual information just because they don't like what it is. 

 

My PC will freeze or blue screen if I hit upwards of 65c for more than a very limited time frame. I have heard of people running these chips hot and not having that problem, at the same time. 

 

Advice: Just do you. If it works for you, great. But, you cannot deny what AMD specifically says or recommend otherwise. People should be trying to keep their FX CPU's in the documented and tested thermal levels provided by AMD. If you don't, you are assuming the risk of CPU degradation or complete failure.

Im not denying that fact, amd says it is the recommend temperature. Im denying the fact, that it will reduce everys cpus lifespan. U cant say that that easily.

Guten tag c:

it would be best you were to get a new cooler, the stock cooler is pretty bad. you'll see a huge difference in temps and it will probably run way quieter, i got a h60i for my fx-8350 and went from 20-30C on idle to 9-11C. I won't recommend the h60i because i don't know your budget, i've heard the 212 evo is pretty good though! (also your english wasn't bad at all, just saying.)
