8350 overheating with 212
8350 overheating with 212
I noticed the VRM on my motherboard isn't managing the power use of my CPU, causing it to overheat and trigger thermal throttling to protect itself.
It might be useful to reapply the thermal paste initially and observe the results.
Is the system running on a stock cooler? The chip isn't suitable for 8xx chips because of its 4+1 power phase and absence of a heatsink. What activity are you performing on your machine when it reaches 62°C? Stress testing?
I own a cooler master 212. It works well in games such as Witcher and Crysis.
Is the current speed matching what you expect? It seems odd since your FX 6300 uses just 30% during Witcher 3. Check the video link provided.
