AMD Vishera 8350 Overheating!
AMD Vishera 8350 Overheating!
Robson Votri suggests several possible reasons for overheating and offers practical solutions based on room conditions.
Madmatt30 shared their thoughts, while Robson Votri added further insights. Robson believes it's probably fine, as their room stays around 23°C most of the time. Even if the room temperature is near 37°C, it should still be manageable for cooling the CPU at 60°C. They mention that if the humidity isn't too high, placing a damp cheesecloth over the case's air intake could help lower the internal temperature by about 10°C to 30°C.
Robson also notes that if the room is not overly humid, they considered adding something cold to the air intake, but it might introduce more moisture. They shared that their computer kept running even in summer temperatures of 40°C, with the room feeling quite warm. They suspect the fan might not be spinning at full speed due to dust affecting its performance, and plan to clean it this weekend or replace it if needed.
In terms of ambient temperatures, Robson mentioned being in the UK during summer with a room temperature of 21°C, which they found comfortable. They compared it to a room at 40°C, which they felt was far too hot. They also pointed out that Intel CPUs typically run cooler than AMD ones, which can reach temperatures above 70°C, while AMD CPUs usually handle up to around 60°C.
The conversation touched on the idea of cooling solutions and environmental factors affecting performance, with both users offering practical advice based on their experiences.
