First of all, long time no see for those of you who remember me. Been busy with work and haven't had much time for hobbies.

So here's my issue. My AMD FX 8350 is supposedly overheating according to the motherboard temperature readings. I noticed this recently after my system hard locked while playing State Of Decay 2, and was able to reproduce that with heavyload just stress testing the CPU. Currently idle temp is 65*C and I've seen up to 80*C during testing. I thought maybe it was thermal paste at first, but replacing it did not alleviate the issue. I then replaced my old Corsair H50 with a new H80i. Still the same temps. I did notice that the coolant temps according to corsair link is in the 33*C-35*C range during testing.

I'm starting to wonder if the CPU itself is dying or if the overheat shutoff is kicking in and the temperature is reading incorrectly.

Thoughts?

Do you allow enough air flow in the case? Maybe the filters have much dust that block the air through them? That could help heat build up on the vrm section of the motherboard. My 8350 with a very humble cooler keeps temps in check easily. Maybe the paste you put is bad quality and cannot help heat transfer?

I've tried 2 kinds of thermal paste at this point, and my airflow is good. I also just cleaned out the case and filters. It's very odd.

hi :)..i had a similar issue like yours...fx 8350 on asus m5a 99fx pro r 2.0 mb cm hyper 212x cooler with dual fans....i enabled HPC option in bios and the temperatures have dropped to a managable level...I don't know how it works though..

Where are the coolant read from?

You could use 3rd party software to control your fans overriding BIOS control.

You could also try to down clock the CPU and see if that changes anything too.

Sounds to me like the CPU is getting too much voltage. Leftover settings from a previous OC'ing attempt?

I've seen my AM3+ boards hold settings even though I had removed the battery for at least a few months - In fact the last time I ran my Sabo 2.0 it had held settings from a sub-zero run I had done earlier, if it weren't for a boot failure making it default to stock when I set it back up I would have had a dead chip.

For those ran at bone stock, 1.35v's is plenty and temps should be well within spec that way, no need to mess with the Digi settings either, auto all the way.
In fact I've seen folks say crankup the Digi settings for a mild OC.... Then wonder why it's running hot - Even with my sub-zero runs there isn't much need to go beyond 100% on anything, normally 110% does it with virtually everything.

So.... Check all BIOS settings and be sure ATM your Digi settings are all on auto until you get a handle on it. Have to assume you're OC'ing it some at least (From your system specs), please state exactly what speeds/how you're wanting it to run and we can advise from there.

If i remember correctly, FX CPUs shutting down when reach 72C. Also during some OC with my 3 FX systems (8320+M5A99FX20/Sabertoth20) i found that temperature readings must have some offset between 10 and 24 degrees in different load conditions and due to silicon quality, so i recommend to use 16-18 degrees offset.

This is weird also. This specific setting makes the intermediate clock speeds obsolete and allows only the idle one at 800Hz and the full speed one. When in balanced mode in the OS, it usually keeps the cpu more time in full speed than what is needed. I changed it once to check how it works and got back to disable it as it didn't help at all. It is best only to keep clocks maxed out when you need max power at all times, hence the settings' name.

i realised that after sometime...but keeping it off causes strange spikes in single core voltage and speed inturn causing temperature spikes...so i just left it on...the system is mostly in idle playing music through AIMP player...otherwise i use it for imaging CT scans and little gaming..

I heard from a pal of mine that reseating the processor can sometimes cure the problem..i sure that radical would have tried it already..

my system admin uses amd overdrive utility for monitoring temps and speeds..i have not personally used it..maybe it would help?:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Never had that problem running blender and I hit 75

I have no idea what or where this HPC setting is in bios. I looked. What does HPC stand for?

Where are the coolant read from?

You could use 3rd party software to control your fans overriding BIOS control.

You could also try to down clock the CPU and see if that changes anything too.
Coolant temps are from Corsair Link, which I assume is reading from the temp sensor in my H80i.

What is yours NB temps?VRM?Check those and let us know......
I know MB temps are ranging from 35*C-42*C.

Sounds to me like the CPU is getting too much voltage. Leftover settings from a previous OC'ing attempt?
Don't know where you're at in OR, but this would be a nice upgrade. Just at RAM: (not my listing)

No overclock, all settings are pretty much set to Auto. I've reset to default settings once already to no avail.

I just tried reseating the CPU with no luck. Temps are the same. Going to try my Wife's CPU when I get a chance and see if I get the same results. (Her 8350 is reading 35*C as it should.)

I'm still running same CPU as OP on system in my profile, but at 4.8-5.0GHz depending if I feel like benching or gaming. Using HWmonitor or HWinfo (latest versions) my CPU on full load with all 8 cores never goes over 58C. Also, NB, HT & RAM clocks are as high as is stably possible without increasing volts excessively, & by that I mean not entering the "pink" zone of voltages as listed in my Asus Sabertooth mobo bios. This all within a full tower closed up case although I use 140mm fans on CPU cooler & case. Never remounted it since early 16'.

I'm not sure about bios options on that MSI board OP is using presuming its the one listed in your system profile, but 1st off I would suggest checking you have the very latest official bios for your board. I found doing that on my 'General Purpose' PC as listed in my signature, decreased the Vcore requirements for my hot A10-7850K when benching around 4.4Ghz. Just thought I"d add that bit because I was quite surprised of the impact an official AMD bios update had on that old APU.

hi...HPC stands for high performance computing mode..it will be in your chipset or performance menu in your bios...i am currently away from my system..i can tell you where it is when i get to my system..

First of all which temperature are we talking about. AM3 systems report two temperatures , core and CPU , core is the actual temperature of the CPU and the one labeled as "CPU" is often referred related to the socket temperature. Boards typically monitor and throttle accordingly based on the socket temperature not the core. I have a feeling it's not the CPU that is overheating, I can't imagine what sort voltage you would need to get it to run at 80c.

Do the following : put a fan to blow over the socket area and report back.

Unfortunately i had similar issue with FX-8320, cpu without a reason started to overheating and shutting down whole pc. I didn't fix it in any way as i find it unfixable and just replaced it with other cpu. In my case i went with temporary downgrade to fx-6300.

hi...HPC stands for high performance computing mode..it will be in your chipset or performance menu in your bios...i am currently away from my system..i can tell you where it is when i get to my system..

I will take a look again. Thanks.

First of all which temperature are we talking about. AM3 systems report two temperatures , core and CPU , core is the actual temperature of the CPU and the one labeled as "CPU" is often referred related to the socket temperature. Boards typically monitor and throttle accordingly based on the socket temperature not the core. I have a feeling it's not the CPU that is overheating, I can't imagine what sort voltage you would need to get it to run at 80c.

Do the following : put a fan to blow over the socket area and report back.

Screenshot for reference. I'll try having a fan blowing on the socket area, just seems odd that this issue has cropped up all of a sudden.

I did notice I have Bios K2, which is a few versions old. Going to update it when I have enough time.

So a little update. I found the HPC setting and it had no effect. I also updated to the latest bios and that did not help. So I tried my CPU in my wife's system and her's in mine. The CPU I had shows 35*C idle in her system and her CPU is showing 62*C in mine. At this point I think my motherboard is the culprit. I think it's time to replace it.
