AMD FX 6300 operates at 206 degrees Celsius or 402.8 degrees Fahrenheit
Hello, 3 days i ago i changed my old motherboard to an msi 760gm-p23 fx. I added my AMD FX 6300 and my RX 550, yeah yeah i know, old stuff, but that's all i can affoard. The problem comes when i start up a game, for example gta 5. When the CPU temp sits up to 67°C, the game goes smoothly. But as soon as the CPU temp goes to 68°C, it automatically goes to 206°C, throttling the performance and making the games run at 16 fps. Worst thing about it is that it does not stop until i reboot. I can close the game, keep my pc on the desktop so it cools down, but if i reopen the game it will still measure 206. This has never been an issue with my old motherboard. Now, of course this is an error in measuring the temperature, otherwise my pc would catch fire. I have searched the internet and apparently this is a common problem with this MoBo, but i can't find any solution. Is there any way to fix this? Please refrain from telling me to buy a new MoBo, i am broke af, i don't have more money to spend on this stuff. I just paid 47 euros for this one wich is what i make in 2 days of work (that's Italy for you)
No, the system won't reach 206°C; it will power down near 110°C. The sensor appears faulty, or the software misinterprets the reading. If the software indicates it's at 206°C, touch the heatsink—be careful, as handling it at such high temperatures can damage your finger and leave marks. Standard solutions include removing the CPU cooler, applying thermal paste, securing it properly, and ensuring good pressure. A simple heatsink with a fan or a case fan directed toward the cooler will help keep the FX-6300 under 80°C. Remember, temperature changes don<|pad|>'s take time to adjust, and rapid shifts suggest a software issue.
