Temperature problem with CPU.
Temperature problem with CPU.
Hello, I'm experiencing this with my AMD FX 8350. During a stress test, when I set the maximum power to 100%, the temperature reaches up to 80 degrees (the CPU-Z shows that as the limit). However, when I set the maximum power to 99%, it only uses 3.4 GHz out of the available 4 GHz, so it doesn't really reach 99%. Someone has a solution?
Hello, I'm using an AMD FX 8350 and during a stress test with maximum power at 100%, the temperature reaches up to 80 degrees (the CPU-Z shows that as the limit). However, when I set maximum power to 99%, it stays around 65 degrees. It seems the performance drops significantly even though the power setting is higher. Anyone know a solution? Are you using the stock box cooler? It might be throttling even at 4GHz, possibly because of cooling issues or the motherboard not being strong enough for that CPU.
On my motherboard I use the Gigabyte GA 78LMT USB 3 6.0
I discovered a faulty solution: I removed the side panel and now I remain under 70 degrees during full stress testing.
If opening the side panels provides some benefit, then what I would advise you now is to reapply thermal compound on the 8350 and ensure the cooler is secure.
If you can afford it, I recommend purchasing a few case fans, especially if the case includes additional mounting slots.
If you have sufficient funds, I recommend purchasing a few case fans to accommodate additional mounting slots. Although this might seem a bit obvious, I’m unsure how to access the front of my case and can’t locate the exact model online. The case is from lc-power, but I’m having trouble finding the correct version. I don’t want to pay someone at a computer shop 50 dollars just for installing three fans that would add 20-30 dollars extra.
Tom_226 suggests considering additional case fans if the existing design lacks sufficient mounting options. He explains that opening the front might be difficult and he struggles to locate the exact model online, as it appears to be from lc-power. He mentions not wanting to pay a computer shop for minor modifications that could cost around 50 dollars for three fans priced between 20 to 30 dollars each.
