I've cleaned out my computer with a hoover (there was a lot of dust inside) and the random shutdowns have stopped. I'm still concerned about my CPU heat/throttling though. I'm getting two different answers here so not really sure what to do

I'm more concerned about my computer shutting off randomly for the moment and don't have the money to splash out on new parts. Do you have a solution for the problem itself?

Mobo is ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3. When running the stress test the Thermal Margin drops very quickly to -11 degrees. The cores are not constantly throttling, they jump between 4GHz and 1.4GHz.

During the stress test the Thermal Margin dropped to -11.6 degrees celcius, and the cores often throttled down from 4018 MHz to 1406 MHz, from 20X multiplier to 7X multiplier and from 1.3375 V to 0.8875 V

Hi all, I'm having some issues which I believe is caused by my CPU and heatsink. This includes throttling issues for a long time now and recently random shut downs and I don't know how to fix them. My CPU will drop from 4GHz to 1.4GHz randomly while gaming, it's not overclocked or anything. My...

I have a cheap ASUS mobo which doesn't have the setting. Is there any way of editing my registry or something so that Turbo Core does not switch on by itself? Sorry for the late reply, I'm just still having the problem

Bump. Checked my bios again, found nothing

Hey guys Turbo core makes my system throttle when gaming when it is switched on. How can I have it defaulted to off? When I power cycle my system it resets to on no matter how hard I try to set it to off by default in AMD Overdrive Much thanks!

had to revert cause massive stuttering in games

umm well actually i changed the HT ref. Clock from 200 to 225 and ive gone from 4.0GHz to 4.5GHz

UPDATE: Changing the Voltage does not cause the black screen to occur. Neither does changing the HT ref. Clock. However changing the Core Multiplier does. Is it possible to OC without changing the Core Multiplier?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I've set the core tuning to manual , but it gives it to me as a percentage instead of a multiplier, and I don't have any of the other controls I need.

I couldn't find the overclocking options in my BIOS so I tried again with Overdrive. I used this feature called Auto Clock which tried a bunch of different clocks and voltages and it gave me this final result in the end: Last CPU clock is: 4510 MHz Last HT Link ref. clock is: 220 MHz Last CPU...

Ok, but this doesn't solve my problem.
