AMD FX 4100 idle temp 60c shutdown

[DamianEnriquez]

My BIOS is showing cpu idle temp of 50c and quickly go up to 60c, the weird thing is on HWMonitor the temp is 12c idle but i think they are wrong because on bios says 60c idle and my PC always shutdowns is so bad i cant play any game because is just keep freezing up
my specs are
- AMD FX 4100 3,6ghz
- GTX 460 1gb (temps are lower than my processor lol)
- Antec VP550F (upgraded from my cooler master extreme power plus 500w)

i already down the voltage to 1,140 and disabled AMD Turbo Core and Cool N Quiet but nothing works
i changed the thermal paste but is the same

I'm not seeing a download option for your motherboard manual, so I'll just have to take a guess. Go in the BIOS and look for some power or temperature safety shudown settings and raise them to 80C. Adhesives in the FX-4100 don't start to melt until about 90C so that will give you some room, but I don't think that your CPU is actually running hot anyway, just an erroneous reading from the motherboard. If you can't find anything then I would email MSI tech support and ask for a new BIOS since I'm not seeing any BIOS updates available on the product page either. MSI tech support is really good. They have given me custom BIOS whenever I ask. That is one crappy motherboard though. I would ask them to upgrade you to the new 970 Gaming.

lol why u say is crappy, has everything i need, 4 slot of ram ddr3 up to 2136mhz i was on budget build, whats the main difference of 970 gaming and this? i just have one complain, the other PCI Slot just support up to x8 but im not going to do SLI crossfire anyway so..
but i cant do that, im in mexico so no warranty for me

VRM design.

You can do this with good VRMs:
