AMD FX 4300 Overheating.

[joonliang9]

Hi.
I have an AMD FX 4300 3.8GHz, not over clocked. Recently my PC has been freezing constantly even on idle when just restarting (on Windows 7).

Anyway, after that, I bought a new Kingston a400ssd 120GB and installed new windows 10 64bit in it. Freezing stops but will just shut down like power is off.

I took a screenshot of my bios temperature right after the shutdown and it's around 72-75 degree C. On Hwmonitor, the AMD temperature is 88+ max.

Also to note that I just changed the stock fan to cooler Master blizzard t2. *Edit* I can touch the heatpipe. Warm but not hot. Probably around 30+ degree C.

Is there anything else I can do besides changing to a better fan? I'm not using it on gaming, mostly surfing the net or watch videos.

Thanks.

p/s - If it's not the processor's issue, what else could be the problem? Motherboard(ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2) or PSU (AVF 550W)? I do get CPU Over Voltage once.

Well, that cooler is not much better than OEM and yes those temps are awful. Have you installed it right with new paste and right amount ? Also would be better to adjust minimum fan speed higher.
