hi, me = French Canadian... living in south east asia... i orderd a whole desktop bundle... the case is lying on is side with red stock heatsink and fan aiming upwarsd through a no side cover tower
apu is a AMD A8-7680
ram generic 16gb
alot of storage..
PSU.. antec 500 watts
when i first got this pc.. it would idle at 40-50c... but now... idle is 65c... i tried buying other HSF duos.. 2 was cone shaped one.. the pc said 94c right off the bat....
oh forgot to mention thermal paste mx2 or mx 4 or somthing... i tried thermal pads.. that didnt do me any good.. i did install msi afterburner to look at my apu temp.. and i saw that core mhz and the ot her slider were cranked to full.. either msi afterburner maxed it out for me.. or the seller tinkered with the bios befor shipping...
what is the solution ? when i first got this pc.. i would play fallout 4 and the pc would shut down.. should i go to bios and figure out how to downlock ? or get liquid cooling ???
sorry but its uncomfortable to play fallout 4 and seeing 83-86c
PS.. i even got a standing HSF put 2fans one in front and one in back.. both blowing the same direction.. (using zip ties... naturally).. no change
