People who own an FX 8-core:
How do you stop it from thermal throttling? It drops down to 1600mhz and 0.9v after it reaches 65c. I looked for anything related to this, disabled turbo, cnq, a couple other things.
What can be done?
Anywhere I look people just say get a better cooler but I already have a corsair h105.
improve airflow in your case nigger
max temps for amd chips is 62c
>>51415640
post your clocks and vcore, and what cooler you're using
>>51415640
get a better cooler pleb
I run 1.3v underclock and use a h60 AIO cooler, and i keep it clocked at 4.5ghz
By not being a retard and buying intel processors you fucking imbecile.
>>51415665
Thats a decent vcore for a 4.5ghz overclock. That AIO loop would have no problem cooling it.
The chip shouldn't be throttling at all, which would lead me to believe that its the VRM on your mobo which is having an issue.
by selling it and getting a pentium g3258 which will beat it in any scenario at less costs with much better overclocking headroom
>>51415640
Check your motherboard temp. Crap vrm will throttle your cpu.
>>51415686
nice meme
>>51415686
thats nice shlomo
>>51415647
>>51415661
I have 2 intake fans in front, 1 bottom. 1 exhaust back, 4 push-pull on h105, and another 1 exhaust top.
>>51415655
4.5ghz, 1.4v
>>51415679
How can I tell if it's the vrm?
>>51415687
>>51415679
Btw, my motherboard is this
It doesn't 'officialy' support fx 8350 but it supports bulldozer (8150), and works with my 8350 fairly fine. I guess overclocking might be a problem?
>>51415745
install gentoo
65c?
mine never goes above 50
>>51415786
Are you sure you're looking at something that reports temps correctly? Speccy shows 30c for me while ai suite/hwmonitor show 60c, for example.
Anyhow.. it still seems high idk why it gets this high. I have a decent aio cooler and case full of fans.
>>51415745
Try reset motherboard to default and change power management for proc to 100% and stress test.
>>51415840
Where do I change power management?
>>51415745
you should be good when it comes to vrm.
have you updated your bios lately (2012 was the was when last version released)
im going to /r/ a pic of the guts
just cause
oh and reseat your cpu and you may just see the problem go away (or just see a problem.)
>>51415848
http://isboxer.com/wiki/HOWTO:Disable_CPU_Throttling_in_Windows
Just scroll to last part.
>>51415939
I had to update it for the fx processor to work. it's the latest version.
Best pic I got I think, there's 2 more fans on the right for intake, and 1 on the bottom
I applied thermal paste again on the cpu a couple days ago. Should I take it out and in?
>>51415941
I don't even have those options here
>>51415647
AMD max temps are 62c
Bullshit. My Athlon X4 860K could hit 100c+ on stock cooler.
>>51416013
>>51415941
Oh looks like they give the registry entry to put for that to show up
it was on 10%
I'll try to stress test now
Problem is, is the cpu g oing to get damaged at 65c?
>>51415640
what mobo.
don't tell me you use a shitty asus with 3+1 phase.
because the vrm will throttle from overloading.
if you do have a shitty mobo, i suggest keep it stock clock and undervolt. at least it will run efficiently and cool.
>>51415640
>used to have 8320
>used stock cooler, stock paste
>OCed to 3.8 ghz
>never had any temp issues
>gave it to a friend
>put a evo 212 on it

>>51415989
>furry shit
>led lights everywhere
>corshill shit
>xfx shit
Disgusting.
>>51415640
you are doing something wrong..
>>51416062
FX max temp around 60c. But safe max temp for stress test is 70c.
Just monitor other component temp.
>>51416104
Yeah he bought an AMD CPU
>>51416084
Posted my mobo here >>51415745
>>51416108
>>51416104
Just tried testing after changing this option to 100%>>51415941
Still fucking throttling, this time at 67c
Look at max temps, does anything indicate this is the vrms?
>>51415989
nice
and it cant hurt but try it later
like in a few days if you can't figure it out
>>51416035
and my over-clocked 6300 don't get above ~60c
>>51416152
Your cpu voltage at 1.488v. Default clock or oc? Try reset your oc and test again.
>>51415735
Repaste it m8.
You must have a real bad contact.
That or your pump may be defective.
>>51416099
nice shitpost familia
>>51416213
I've repasted it very recently
It would overheat instantly if it was defective, and I had bad contact before and it instantly overheated
Could it really be half-bad contact or some shit?
>>51416225
Back in my day on /g/ people with shitty ricer builds were looked down upon.
>>51416240
Why is it ricer if it's a good computer? Ricer is when a shitty car gets flashy visual upgrades. It doesn't translate well if it's a good thing that's also flashy.
>>51416245
How new are you? Most ricer components are fine, they're just overpriced and look ugly as sin.
Don't be so autistic thinking the car analogy carries over perfectly or some shit.
>>51416257
That computer looks nice in my opinion.
>>51416266
Yes, I'm aware /g/ is now filled with people with shit taste. Mostly crossposters from /v/
>>51416152
67c is really fucking high for an 8350, or any FX chip really.
anyone get these to 5?
I'm debating between this and the 9590. I wont be upgrading for a few years (no Zen), and both more powerful than my 1100t.
>>51416413
8370E supposedly gets to 5GHz easily assuming you buy a high quality motherboard.
>>51416460
hmmm
i'll see if it's on sale on the 27th
thanks
>>51416398
These readings are wrong.
67 nevertheless is hot though
>>51416543
>tfw you have the only FX processor with a functioning temp chip
>>51416108
>>51416206
>>51416213
So I reseated it, and reset bios to default.
These temps are with prime95 running, but fans are at 100% (they were dynamic before but set to 100% at 63c)
For some reason voltage is 1.25 or so
Could ram affect this? I've read that fx is funky with 1866mhz or even 1600 ram, and maybe my old mobo too.
>>51416582
Wrong reading again
Check your motherboard software for accurate reading.
>>51415640
i use the stock cooler and have no trouble keeping it under a target of 55c (software controlled fans)
i use an 8320 at 3.9GHz
>>51416667
What voltage?
>>51415640
Motherboard?
>>51416908
stock 1.38v
Improve airflow, get a better cooler, reduce number of active cores (IE. turn it into a 6300+)
>>51416398
>1.45v
>only 3.8ghz
All of my why
>>51416398
ayyy senpai.
>>51417058
? wot. I'm not OP. Just some random fag. My temps are fine.
>>51417066
Your speccy readings are wrong.
>>51417068
And? Im aware of this. I never use it except for screenshotting. I use HWmonitor for my temps and Speedfan.
>>51417043
>1.21V
>4.4 GHz
You have a golden chip or smth?
>mfw im stable with a shitty 3+1 mobo at 1.36v
>mfw running like this for like a year now
>>51417076
i can actually go higher i just choose not to . I thought it was at 1.3 or something but it says different in here so im guessing i turned it down at some point.
>>51416398
4.5GHz, I turned on that speedstep or whatever AMD's one is called a while ago and I haven't bothered to turn it off.
>>51417209
Lel meant for >>51417000
>>51416604
All your temp is ok. I would avoid prime95 for FX as my previous fx6300 still downlock while stress test.
You can try running extensive game with unlock fps and check your cpu still downclock mid game. Try use osd from afterburner.
>>51415640
i keep my 8320 at constant 4.2GHz with $40 cooler, nothing throttles. What is your mobo? Maybe your poor mobo power section is throttling you.
>>51415640
>it reaches 65c
There is your fucking problem right there. Buy something other than the stock cooler.
Desktop processors should never be throttling, and its not AMD's fault, its yours.
My 8320 is clocked to 4.5ghz on a corsair h110i GT(fuck this cooler btw). The absolute max temps is 59c for me. When using Aida64 system stability test, it can range from 53 to 57 depending on the temperature inside the room. When gaming it's usually in the 40s, newer games tend to bring it up to low 50s. Getting the best tuned overclock is not easy. Took me 2 years to get this shit to 4.5. Getting it to like 4.2 was no big deal and setting the perfect voltage wasn't either. If everything is set perfectly, your temps should be like low 30s on idle and 50s on load. Make sure you seat the cooler correctly with the right amount of thermal paste. Having good airflow makes a big difference as well. That'd pretty much it.. Don't use prime95 btw, terrible for amd chips. I recommend Aida64 or even Valley benchmark with everything turned up( represents what to expect from a very intensive game).
All in all, just reseat it properly or change the coolers fans. Can't wait to get rid of this chip. Time to finally get an Intel.
>>51417601
>h110i GT(fuck this cooler btw)
Why? Was thinking of getting it
>>51417601
Is AIDA64 free?
>>51417916
The 2 fan connectors built into the block don't even work. As I was testing them it hit the back of my mobo and shorted it out. When I say they font work, I mean in the sense that fan controls are buggy and fucked up.
The cooler along with the 2 fans(phanteks fans) vibrate my case randomly and the sound can get very annoying. Font need to mention stock fans suck when it comes to noise and cooling.
When it comes to actual cooling, it's not that bad at all. It's just for the price I never expected these problems at all,might as well get something else for the money. Now I must buy rubber gaskets as well as rubber screws for the fans and some sound dampening foam from Silverstone. The foams not necessary, I just need it for something else, so using it on my pc is just a bonus. Here's a pic of my most impractical build ever lol.
>>51417924
There's a trial version and it let's you use the stability test I believe. I myself chose to be a scumbag and pirate it. Nice piece if software though.
>>51417981
lol what's holding those aio's up?
>>51418006
Used to be industrial double sided tape but after a few months, it started to lean to one side. Now I just have both stacked on top of each other and secured with the same tape. So, double sided tape on the bottom of the case>aio>more tape>top aio.
>>51417924
Youtube is full of working license keys for it, just disconnect from the internet whilst activating.
>>51416152
It actually should not throttle at all below 70 or am I missing sth.?
>>51418069
Yea, that's what I was thinking as well. I'd get a warning on my asus motherboard that the temps have reached 65c. Then at around 73c or so it would just downclock to something like 1.4hz until I restarted the pc.
>>51418139
So you there was a preset 65 degree trigger in your bios? If so, then theres something srsly wrong with your CPU and / or some settings.
>>51415640
This is my 8350 with a D15 on nothing but air cooling.
>>51418202
I'm not op. Just sharing my experiences with the stock cooler. Idk if it's the same for other boards but I would get the notification popup from asus suite 2 at 65c. It wasn't until 73c or higher when it would finally downclock. It's a safety measure, not a malfunction
>>51418229
Speccy gives wrong temps for fx processors
>>51418312
nope, everything else matches that temp that I have, including coretemp.
>>51418289
>safety feature
>started downclocking at 70+
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Ops CPU throtteling at 65 doesn't make any sense to me.
>>51418319
Anything aside from the mobo software will give you wrong temps, or your bios.
>>51418423
sure m80
>>51416111
The trips don't lie.
>>51418430
Look for yourself. >>51416611
>>51416543
>>51418466
>>51416582
All those things give wrong readings mate, I can show the same thing and you'll see identical shit online
My fx 4300 is reporting 10c
>>51418486
Shit that AMD owner's need to go through....
Fuck that.. Let me be happy with my Intel and Nvidia components, I dont have to worry about anything getting hot or anything, in fact I dont hear anything in my computer at all
>>51418610
Fermi
>>51418610
I am glad 0.5 GB vram is actually slower, this prevents the GPU from overheating itself by the high RAM clockspeeds
Nivea did such a great job engineering this GPU, nivea really is the way it's meant to be played
>>51418637
I actually own a 970.... It's a great gpu, I dont care about the 3.5
>>51418610
This is bait.
Just because I've person has a problem doesn't mean it's a brand at fault.
You'd realise that if you bothered to read the thread.
>>51418667
I went through the whole thread faggot
>>51418667
I use an amd cpu and nvidia gpu. It causes instant butthurt for fanboys.
>>51418690
Then I'll assume you didn't see >>51415745 ?
>>51418703
Nothing wrong with that.
>>51418703
As >>51418507 I don't care, I just don't choose nvidia because I don't enjoy those exclusive software things like gamewerks because thats just turning PCs into consoles.
>>51418719
Yes I did
>>51418764
Then you know you're wrong.
Also one of my friends uses haswell, during a stress test his cpu got to 95 degrees Celsius.
During battlefield 4 it sits around 80 degrees.
His gtx 960 definitely runs cooler than my hd 7950 though.
You're a fucking shill,or you're an idiot.
>>51415640
I cant believe noone has mentioned this yet.
YOU MOUNTED THE COOLER WRONG OR YOU PUT TOO MUCH THERMAL PASTE.
This causes overheating+throttling. A cooler like that should be able to handle this CPU no probs.
I ran a 8350 on a 212 EVO and it never went above 58 on 4.5 GHz.
>>51418794
Haswell runs stupid hot during the normal stress testing go tos of past like Prime 95. No one that has any sense uses stress tests that run that much higher than BF4.
>>51418908
I used the Intel burn test.
He has a haswell xeon, got it instead he an i5 since he doesn't need the igpu.
In comparison, my i5 2500 peaked at 53 degrees in the same stress test, but not on stock cooler.
>>51418930
IBT isn't recommended for Haswell.
>>51418954
Why?
>>51415640
I have a cheap $25 heatsink, and it never goes past 55 while rendering video.
>>51418610
AMD cpus run at marginally lower temps than intel by design, lol
It's just that the thermal limit is also lower
>>51418423
speedfan works too
>>51418812
look >>51416604
>>51418984
I think it has something to do with the addition of AVX2, it runs it abnormally hot. Even though IBT already does that in the first place. Also why newer versions of Prime 95 aren't recommended either.
You must have messed up somewhere. My cpu doesn't go over 60 with the default cooler while gaming for long amounts of time. Either you live inside a volcano and need to open a window or reapply thermal paste.
>>51415989
>dat cable management
Feels bad man, spaghetti everywhere inside my case, and my SSD is dangling in mid air.
>>51415745
>>51415640
theres no way is a vrm issue with that ridiculously overkill board
your cooler has to be bad seated
>>51416152
the only valid way to check the core temps is with AMD OverDrive
install it, and if you're never hitting the "thermal margin" in there your processor and cooler are working perfectly, your problem is the mobo temp around the dice or the vrm
maybe the solution would be to install a C type cooler like the noctua nh-c14 to cool everything
but of course, the smart solution is to get a fucking Intel chip+mobo for gods fucking sake
>>51421294
i've been using speedfan for over 3 years now. It always shows the correct temps for amd cpu's
>>51421294
I must suffer through AMD for I will never support intel's jew tactics
Waiting for Zen in a state of Zen
>>51418423
keep telling yourself that.
get an infrared thermometer and then come talk to me
>>51415640
OP disable LLC llc makes ur cpu runs hotter u should disable llc and found ur stable vcore and nb voltages by hand. this will give u 10c lover temps.
