Is the CM Hyper EVO 212 functioning properly while maintaining the @1.33v FX8320 at 4.4ghz?
Is the CM Hyper EVO 212 functioning properly while maintaining the @1.33v FX8320 at 4.4ghz?
I reapplied the thermal paste pea dot in the middle.
Gigabyte 990fx-ud3 LLC operates at extreme settings during idle, with the 8320 running at 1.25v @4.4Ghz around 25-33°C.
Once I run p95 or IBT, it spikes to 60 then 72 plus rapidly and I shut it down.
At that point, the LLC Extreme setting changes the voltage to 1.33v for running cores at 4.4Ghz, which is different from some 8320 chips that normally use 1.35v stock. A reading of 70 seems unrealistic.
Could it be related to my airflow or a faulty CM fan? The CM heat sink fan is either intake or exhaust. I had to mount it on the left side from a bird’s eye vertical heat sink view. On the right, it couldn’t fit because it blocked two RAM slots—really small motherboard.
If it’s an intake fan, it draws air from the rear outlet and into the top front area of the rig, near the DVD Blu Ray shelf where the front intake fan can’t reach.
If it’s an exhaust fan, I’m confused. I tried removing two sticks and putting it on the right, but temperatures only dropped about 4°C.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Point the cooler's fan at the case exhaust fan, the Hyper 212 will appreciate it and you'll notice: Case rear>exhaust fan>heatsink fan blowing toward the exhaust fan>heatsink>front of case. And you should be expecting a lot from that cooler, though the 212 isn't a top-tier, high-output model.
