Faildroid, just because you don't need an 8-core chip doesn't mean other people don't need it. You obviously fail to understand the need for multiple cores. As to the 8-core cell phone CPU...do you have multiple apps running at the same time? I bet you do, so more threads means better...

I would grab a y-splitter for whichever power plug your hdd uses (ie sata or 4-pin molex)

Those are good temperatures...glad it worked out for you and I'm sure your CPU is much happier now lol.

I would get the 4690k.

get the evo...the fx 8320/50 run hot and the stock cooler is too loud.

I've been very happy with my Asus M5A99FX pro r2.0

Is your system cooling policy set to active in power options?

Sounds like you guys got defective phones, I would make a stink until they replace free of charge.

Whats your vcore under load?

The one you want to concentrate the airflow on is the longer one to the left of the CPU socket with the row of capacitors. The heatsink below the socket is the southbridge which doesn't get hot. edit: From what I've been able to gather from testing the CPU temperature in hwmonitor seems to be...

Strap a fan to your vrm heatsink and/or the back of the cpu socket if your case allows it.

Those temps look completely normal to me.

Yeah behind the motherboard. Some cases have a cutout to fit a fan. Vrm temperature plays a significant role in your overclock stability, if they get too hot your cpu will throttle or lock up.

I don't have any personal experience with your current motherboard but with a 70mm fan on the vrm and one on the back of the cpu socket I can do 4.9 stable all day
