It works great- just wish the 8350 in it wasn't such a crappy overclocker... starts getting too hot even at 4.2Ghz*

*bought when AMD was most likely starting to bin the 8350's for the 9370/9590 parts :rolleyes:

m0nt3 · May 20, 2014

Ran another 10 loop IBT socket peak 65C core peak 59C. But to be fair it is almost 85F in my house. as opposed to 70F last run.

I know the feeling bud. Took 3 tries before i actually got a good clocking FX-8350 but that was about 1-3 months before the FX-9xxx released

Question - before this monster cooler, did you not have the H55? Was the temps similar?

m0nt3 · May 20, 2014

I had the H60 and temps improved slightly with the new cooler, I was getting worried about pump failure as it was over two years old.

I don't think prime plays well with the FX architecture. I have ran it for 10hours+ same config may not last 10min sometimes. Its certainly odd, might be related to ASUS TurbeV Evo software, instead of rebooting I tried adjusting Vcore through the software and cores 1 and/or 2 will fail in a matter of minutes. Runs fine after a reboot and setting voltage via BIOS. Starting to take prime fx results with a spoon full of salt.

Definately uninstall Turbo evo. It can be very flaky software. You're right in your suspicions.

But he did post his 10 loop run with IBT and the socket temp still went to 61C. So somewhere something is reporting wrong.

As for the temps I would put money on better airflow. That 400R at stock has 3 fans, don't know how many if any mont3 has added but when I had my FX in a case , I had 300CFM+ moving through the case. If it were mine I'd remove the HD cage that blocks all the air from moving, take the 2 120s that come with it and put them up top as exhaust. Then get a couple of higher CFM fans for the front like these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233101 they even have the white LEDs with variable speed and 90CFM. One quick test is to run with the side cover off and see if the temps drop at all.

can someone recomend air cooler to 40€ on this site???
alternate.be
i try to compare some of them my self...,but its not always the price that show item value!!
i will refill my system spec so in next few days you can help me OC my cpu to be 24/7 stable and cool

(fx 8320)

Best you'll do on that site in your price range.

Pehla · May 23, 2014

i was lookin for that one for some time!! i doo like two fans on it,and direct heat pipe contact!! but look a litle more... pls
a few more € is not that big a deal lets say to 45€!!

This one is a bit over at 45 Euro but is a decent cooler http://www.alternate.be/Scythe/Mugen-4-PCGH/html/product/1097611?click_HPL=8706

I must have a decent 8350 then because under full load with air cooler it runs low 40's at 4.4

Alright, I come to you AMD guys with a question.
A buddy has this board. He's currently on an Athlon II X2 240. He does not have the money to build a new system, and the rest of his system is pretty decent (4GB of DDR2 1066, Radeon 5950). What would be a good, affordable upgrade for his CPU? He'd like at least a quad-core.
Originally he told me it was an AM3/AM3+ board, so my immediate thought was to just pick up an FX-4300, but that obviously won't work in this board
Thanks in advance, guys.

I would say a 955 or a 960 would be your best bet if not overclocking. Trying to find a 95w x6 my prove to be difficult.

TheoneandonlyMrK · May 27, 2014

Well I went and fitted a occool waterblock instead of my old skool Tt one and im having some success at reigning in my temps , at my regular daily clocks im ten degrees better off

nice.
I did have a slight gfx card issue though , wasn't quite making contact with the power pins of pciex1slot due to contact burn.
still ,, , working on a smile worthy oc im at 5050ghz atm 62 top temp

Cooling is king on these puppies, nice clock BTW, what's your voltage like.
@Random Murderer speaking of the 955BE I just took mine to 5.0 tonight http://valid.canardpc.com/rg4ph1

TheoneandonlyMrK · May 28, 2014

Definitely needs more effort and tuning then I had tonight crashes now and again normally idleing 1.53coreV

I usually get around 45-47 under gaming load with mine, but I suspect that the H80 I have isn't able to dissipate the heat as nicely as a custom loop, and the gpu's (OC'd 10%) keeping it a little warmer.

AphexDreamer · Jun 1, 2014

Hey guys, new owner of an FX-8320. I'm trying to understand the best way to monitor temps. I'm going by AMD OD atm with its Thermal Margin but using OCCT to test for stability. OCCT has hit a max of 77C but AMD OD TM maight touch -.5 but only briefly then climb back up to 2.

My clock is 4300mhz every thing stock except Vcore should be 1.418 with VID showing at 1.4 V.

Irony · Jun 1, 2014

It's gotten to 77c? That is quite hot for these.

I use open hardware monitor

Which do you look at, Temp #1 or #2?

Temp 1 is in line with OCCT temp 2 is 11C cooler than temp 1.

I'm really trying to figure out if it is unusally high or not so I can determine if I need to remove my paste or not.

And I hate doing it since I'm afraid the IC diamond may damage my CPU or heat sink, but its the only High performance paste I have. I may have put to much and I never know how it spreads.

EDIT:

Well TEMP 2 isn't ever changing so I guess it is temp 1. Maybe tomorrow I'll check my paste and just reapply to know whats going on.

Irony · Jun 1, 2014

There should be one called CPU core, that temperature is the one you wanna look at.

I always have trouble with thermal paste, I always either have it squeezed out all over the edges or one little dot in the middle, lol

Well that is much lower also that fluctuates a lot. Bouncing around 20-30C on Idle.

Just recently got an FX-8320 building a new system after my PSU failed taking out the old MB with it, 4870 went not too long after. So I was forced to build the system in my specs. Here's the best OC I've managed on air so far but I didn't got too far on the voltage.

BTW Can I join the Club... was in the Phenom club, but no longer own a phenom

PS: the temp in that validation is under load, I was running Prime95 when I validated

Is that stable for you? Also what are your temps?
