Temperatures were inconsistent during the initial overclocking phase.
Temperatures were inconsistent during the initial overclocking phase.
Hi guys.
I just finished my first build and noticed some temperature issues. After overclocking my processor to 4.4Mhz via a YouTube video, I ran a Prime95 stress test and saw one core failing after 8 minutes. So far, I haven’t changed the voltage, but I’m not sure if it’s safe to increase it further when temperatures are already high. I’m confused about what the readings mean. I attached a photo with the temperature data from several programs at the moment my 8th core stopped working.
Could anyone help clarify all these temperatures?
HWmonitor shows 81 degrees, which is quite high. Here’s the screenshot:

My setup details are:
CPU: AMD FX-8350
GPU: Geforce GTX 750 Ti
Memory: 16GB DDR3 2400Mhz
Motherboard: Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0
PSU: Corsair CX750
CPU cooler: Kraken x61
Thanks!
There seems to be an issue with the cooler functioning, and the temperatures are rising significantly. Are the pumps operating correctly? Could there be air entering the system? Of course, it should be securely installed on the CPU.
I believe the pump is functioning properly since I can detect liquid movement occasionally and the CAM software indicates temperature changes based on load. What other steps can I take to confirm it's operating correctly?
Since it is controlled by BIOS, you might be able to adjust the header in BIOS to enable full-speed operation.
I checked the BIOS settings but didn’t find any clear signs of a fan issue. The CPU socket temperature stays between 30-33 degrees during idle, while the core temperature fluctuates from 10 to 25 degrees quickly. The CAM software shows the krakens pump speed is between 2,700 and 3,000 RPM, and the fan speed adjusts properly based on CPU temperature.
I’m wondering if hot air might be trapped behind the motherboard. With the current fan configuration, the only cool air coming in comes from the front three fans, which are blocked by HDD bays. Any suggestions for an optimal cooler and case setup?
Thanks for your assistance so far.
