970pro temperature

[vex_dm]

Hi! I tried to overclock my fx8300 with arctic freezer a30 and mb asus 970 pro gaming aura and got this results. 4.4ghz, 1.40v and temp of cpu 56C in intel burn test. But motherboard was 76C. Is this still stable temperature for motherboard? I tried to go little further with cpu and got 4.5ghz, 1.425v but motherboard temperature start raising over 80C so i stopet intel burn test. How far can I go with motherboard temperature?

Personally that temp difference for the extra .1 ghz isnt worth it. I had a similar situation when overclocking my i5 4690k. I was able to run it at 4.4, but I found that 4.2 was much cooler and quieter for me. Not sure what the temp danger threshold of a MOBO is though... almost 80c seems way too high though.

sounds about right. The CPU temp sensor is broken on FX, so you have to go by the temp sensor in the mobo.

 

you should NEVER exceed 62-65c on the motherboard socket temp sensor over longer durations of time. As this will damage the socket itself. Your cooling is not adequate for said OC, i would dial it down to 4.2Ghz and see if you can get below 1.35v, that should help temps get down into the safer thresholds.

 

Also look into improving airflow across the motherboard.

I tried 4.2ghz and 1.35v but temp was around 70C on socket. Something is wrong with cooling? I lower to 3.3ghz and 1.25v and now is about 50C when I start IBT.

The Arctic Cooler A30 is not the best performing CPU cooler to begin with; it sits near the middle of the stack -- just below the commonly recommended Hyper 212 Plus and Hyper 212 EVO.

The motherboard, being a true 7+1 power phase system, could handle a higher overclock, but your FX-8300 requires quite a bit of voltage.

 

Where is this 76*C and 80*C reading coming from?

What program are you using to check the temperatures?

Can you add a screenshot?

 

If your AMD ASUS motherboard is similar to mine, HWMonitor should have temperature readings for:

• Temperatures > CPU
• Temperatures > Mainboard
• Temperatures > SB
• Temperatures > NB
• FX-8300 > Temperatures > Package

 

From the information so far, I would just stick with 4.4 GHz using ~1.400V.

Overclock-to-Voltage scaling will typically start to go south at about 1.400V - 1.45V or so (depending on your luck).

I suppose you are talking about socket temp, and not the actual Mobo vrm temps.

FX cpu´s dont have individual temp sensors per core, there for they use one sensor for the whole package.

The socket temp is about the correct temp of the cpu, and basicly should not exceed over 65C to 70C

If the socket temp value gets that hot, means that your cooler or airflow inside the case isnt sufficient enough.

I attached a screenshot. CPU core is fine. But i think the socket temp is too high. If themperature 1 is socket?
