Overheating amd fx6100 ?

[andybeech]

Hi I'm currently using my amd fx6100 as my streaming pc as I have my intel i5 7500 as my gaming pc. I had overclocked the amd fx 6100 to 3.8ghz when I had it as a gaming pc so left it for streaming, however over the last week I have noticed its gone to 60 - 80 degrees and once today while streaming turned off by its self. Do i need to turn the over clock down a little? Or is it because it's 25-27 degrees in th uk currently causing a issue? I did take the side panel off to help cool it down which strangely worked and it's only when streaming.

thanks

If taking off the side panel seemed to help the temperature, then it might be a problem with your case air flow or the case fans.

It shouldn't shut off at all due to temps, it will downclock first. Probably just a unstable system, try removing oc before thinking about about stability.

Oh ok I thought there was a fail safe in the bios that shuts down at a certain temp, I'll try turning the oc off see what happens.
