Throttling on FX4100 at 4500MHz
Metallic51:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll reduce the settings and check if it improves. I'll attempt to reapply the stock cooler later to determine if the issue lies with the VRM temperature. Also, are those readings acceptable? I usually see them staying below 50°C under load in other systems using the Hyper 212.
Please don't put on the stock cooler!
Turn off the OC until you get a better PSU and possibly a better board.
Metallic51 has shared his experience and plans to adjust settings further. He suggests trying the stock cooler again later to determine if the issue lies with the VRM temperature. He also asks about the current temperatures, noting that he usually sees them stay below 50°C under load in other systems using the Hyper 212. He strongly advises against putting on the stock cooler and recommends turning off the OC until a better PSU and possibly a better board are available. He mentions testing with both CPU-heavy and GPU-heavy games, as well as AMD's overdrive stress test, finding that temperatures stayed under 50°C in all cases. He plans to save for a new motherboard, power supply, and processor as suggested. He finds it interesting that default settings performed better than overclocking.
