I was actually just watching some videos about the EVO 212. Cheap, decent cooling, seems nice. Think Im just going to order that :laugh:
Probably buy some Arctic Cooling MX as well.

Cant wait to see the changes when DX12 becomes more used in upcoming games

So, installed the EVO 212 last weekend. The installation itself was pretty easy actually.
Max 49C when Ive run prime95 for about 5 hours.

Tbh AMD Turbo is more of a handicap than anything, you should disable it and raise the clocks back up manually. Just up them to 4.3 same as stock turbo.

Disabled this as you said, and clocked the cores up to 4,3 again. Seems to be working as intended. Thanks!

Keep using AOD you will get the most exact reading out of it and if your TM does not go under 25 then you good. Happy gaming :toast:

Nice one. :) 5hrs of P95 is slight overkill but at least u didn't fry the board. :p

Hey I realised I only half explained the temps earlier;.... the crazy readings are from the CPU core. The sensor is on the case but takes into account heat difference between case and core. I think it's ~25c from memory. So if case temp (tCase)is 70c the core is prob around 95c (Tjunction).

Thermal trip (HTC) is ~85-90c tcase. Just a bit of useless FYI.......


Btw Disabling Core Parking can sometimes help with stutter/fps drops. If u're on Win7 there's an MS hotfix downloadable from TPU fwiw.........

Isn't this fixed automatically? Or do you actually need that specific update to disable core parking?
