AMD FX-8350 45Degrees celsius Idle temps, high?

[bmxcody123]

So i've recently built my new Workstation computer+ Gaming PC.

Anyways I have bought a Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 mobo with the FX-8350 Eight core processor, and I have a Corsair H60 liquid cooler. When I boot into windows and monitor my temps through Asus' software it's showing 45 degrees celsius with liquid cooling!

I'm not OC or Running turbo mode, i'm actually running in energy saving mode. When it's underload i'm getting 65 degrees celsius and i get warnings saying "Warning CPU centigrade 65 degrees celsius" I get the same results with Stock cooler.

I have Artic Silver 5 thermal compound applied to it, are these normal temps for the Piledriver series? Should i invest into a better liquid cooling system? Should i try to re apply thermal compound?


If it is the cooling system which one do you recommend for this monster CPU?


I don't want Intel fanboys coming on here say " AMD SUCKS BLOWS ETC."

I just need some opinions, i know 125 tdp give higher temps but i think this is a lot or am i fine? Tips please.

With slight overclock to 4.3-4.4 Ghz with a Noctua cooling my CPU, my loadtemp has never gone above 50 C in any game. Usually sits around 45 C. Idle temp I don't know because of the above.

I'd bet some of your heat is coming from your lack of VRM heatsinks on that motherboard. The LE version doesnt have them.

fwe thing to share hope it may help some one. I have phenom II X4 965 BE, my ambient temp is 49 C, But I have enabled Cool & Quite from bios also disabled QFAN Control both cpu & chassis & runing cm hyper n620 at full speed @ 2000+ RPM chassis fans @ full rpm as a result I am getting 39 Degree Celcius cpu temp as idle @ my VCORE is 0.94Volt, & Iam not gaming.But My GPU HD 6870 is showing 45 C @ 65% fan speed.......idle

hi guys.i bought fx 8350 3 days ago.and i bought an deepcool beta 400 plus with it.when i run rome 2 at extreme quality my temps goes to 64 c. is it normal? do i need to buy a better cpu cooler? i cant get it but in every game when i lunch the game my fans goes at full speed in about 15 min.

Yes, the best solution you can get is a CM Hyper 212 EVO if you are on a budget, and pick up a pair of matching aftermarket fans for it...I like JetFlo 120s, but get what you want, set them up in push/pull config (front and rear of cooler working together) and it will make a massive difference, 64C is too warm.

 

[pedi9004]

i got a gamer storm deepcool and its so nice and quiet and it keeps the cpu temp under 53c and cpu core temp under 40c in full load.and what i understand now is that cpu temp shows the chipset temp(up to 70c is okay) and u must get a program that shows core temp and the most important thing is the core temp(for amd fx 8350 is up to 61c).

I invested in the Corsair H100i for my FX-8350 build. And I could not be happier with the temps. It's sitting in an Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0 board. At the moment, my bedroom is about 20°C and the CPU is idling at 30°C. After playing BF4 for a couple hours, the highest CPU temp I have observed is 42°C! Two AF140 intakes in the front of the case, one in the back. H100i rad is exhausting out the top (just 2 fans pushing). Maybe I got lucky with my chip, but I think the H100i is a worthwhile investment for anyone with heat concerns.

AMD does not use 'core temp'

AMD uses 'thermal margin' and as it approaches -5C you will begin to see 'core-throttling' ...


edit: that should likely be " ...may begin to see 'core-throttling'..."

I have an AMD FX8350, Asus M5a99fx, Corsair H50. I had problems with idle temps between 50-60c. My problem was the push/pull fan setup on the H50. I had the outside intake fan (push), backwards (blowing out)! Once I flipped it around I am sitting at idle temps of 30c and lower. Under load 47c. I know this is old but this post turns up a lot for people with similar issues so sharing my solution.
Here's the order and flow direction I have things sandwiched:
Intake fan --> / Case wall / Radiator / Exhaust fan --> / Inside case
My ambient room temps are around 24c (75f)
My push/pull 120mm fans are at 1200rpm (according to monitor)

I also have a fx 8350 with a corsair h55 and on idle it sits at 7°C/46°F. on load with battlefield 4 its at 60°F. Maybe just a bad cooler or motherboard

7C are you sitting in the arctic, how are you getting below room temperature?

 

[bmacsys]

Yea, with liquid cooling your temps should be way lower. .

I laugh every time someone calls an closed loop cooler "liquid cooling". Liquid cooling is a custom loop. An H60 is one of the worst AIO coolers to boot. Tiny radiator. An H110 or H100i is a good fit for an 8320/8350. Where is the logic in buying one of the smallest closed loop coolers for one of the most heat producing processors?

I'm running the Fx8350 Stock clock hell stock everything voltages etc. haven't changed anything in my bios yet overclocking wise its in a asus sabertooth 990fx board with 7 case fans with the stock amd cooler I was hitting 58-60C under load with my cpu fan set to jet speed changed it to a hyper 212 evo now im idle at 38C and after a long gaming session of just cause 2 I'm still below what the stock cooler was doing and even with the supposed loud coolermaster fan on turbo speed about 1350rpm its super quiet haven't ever used a closed loop liquid cooler system and probably never will heard too much bad feedback on them where people were going back to a air cooling solution and dropping their temps

 

[madmassimo]

running fx8350 on stock with cool n quiet and IES on. mobo asrock fx990 extreme 4. with cooler master seidon 120m
idle: 9°C / load : 40°C max (battlefield 4, plex running, and downloading at the same time), but generally well under 35° on average working load
using software coretemp and at room temp 22°C
thermal paste is usually a key problem (use very little of it of high quality), noctua in push n pull mode was givin 20° in idle and 49° under max load and allready a good solution. The amd software isn't givin accurate temps.
Using an AMD Gpu can augment temps. Since I use the Asus GTX780 OC, inside temps dropped... planning to get a GTX 970

(apply thermal paste with a credit-card or with your finger using latex glove, you would be surprised by how little is enough)

That motherboard does not support overclocking! I use to own one. Now I have the M5A99FX PRO. There are no heat sinks attached to the north bridge and a very mediocre one on the south bridge of the M5A97. Also. Testing you PC with Prime 95 for hours on end is absurd. 15 to 30 minutes to see if any cores fail. Then test using some graphics benchmark. Then use it for a while like you would in normal situations.

I have a fx8320 @ 4.4Ghz ~ 1.325v on a Asus M5A99FX motherboard and a Corsair H60 liquid cooler.

If I run prime95 for more than 30 minutes my CPU will hit 60c and my socket will reach almost 80C. However, I can play games like Crysis3 that will have all 8 cores running at 70% yet my cpu will top maybe 30-40C while the socket stays a reasonable 50C.

Only use prime to verify that the cores get enough voltage to run at 100%. Use real life situations to test stability. Program crashes, game lag and slow load times are an indication your OC needs more voltage.

 

[themoeller]

ive had an fx 8350 with a m5a99fx and a h90i cooler. Im at 4.8 ghz, idle temps @28C. I have an r9 290 and a small case as well. Im almost positive my gpu is keeping in some heat

 

[G-Tech]

This is technically not an answer, but I need to know what to do

Ok, so I have an AMD FX-8350, and recently I bought two 1080p monitors

Before, I idled at around 30 Degrees Celsius, now I idle at around 40-50 Degrees Celsius

What happened

I tried to put on new thermal compound, and that didn't help

Im using the stock cooler

Using the slightest programs, it goes up 5 degrees celsius

 

[8350rocks]

Stock cooler is a bit rough. You will want to get something aftermarket like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo to keep it nice and cool.

[DEZn00ts]

G tech that didn't answer the question because I have the same problem. I was maxing out the cpu at 48c with the hyper 212, but around a year ago it jumped 10 to 17c on anything! Like period! used to idol lower now i idol 10 degrees higher! same with max temp!!!!!!!!!!! Could a windows update have caused it????????????? what could have caused it?????????? Now it maxes out at 62-64c!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT the thermal or fans. only thing I could think of is a faulty motherboard????????? I have asrock 970 extreme 4 board which I have read is a very shitty board. Any help would be great.

 

[Paul Synthematix]

the problem isnt the cpu at all its the motherboard, most motherboards unless VERY high end cannot cope with the heat, will make NO difference if you buy expensive watercooling setups either if the motherboard cannot cope.

 

[Wisecracker]

The thing about the stock AMD 125w copper base/heat-pipe coolers is the fins blow air across the PWM and the RAMs. A tall cooler or water cooling can't do that.

I've seen the 'sinks over the FETs vary 5- to 7C from one end to the other on 4+1 boards. Just engineer a fan blowing air at them.

 

[DEZn00ts]

I figured out all this shit the hard way EXCEPT for running stock fan. NEVER run stock fan. Always Hyper 212 or better. I just got the sabertooth 990fx and OMG, I kid you not, I max games out at 33c!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This thing is well worth the 200 after taxes. Before I had a board that was in the same group as yours... They are pretty weak, my 970 extreme 4 sucks OH and 970 chipsets SUCK for fx chips.

Hi,
I have built two systems with the FX 8350. Both overheated. Most of the time were over 40 and when workin hard they passed 65, which is probably not good. Also the fan speed got ridicoulous (over 5000 rpm). I used one of the systems for playing games, and when the game couldnt handle more than one or two cores, it overheated it as well, sometimes over 70.
THE solution was to add a third party cooler. I bougth a fairly cheap one (US$ 30) TT Contact 21, and now the FX 8350 works like a charm. It never overheats and my idle is bellow 20.
I guess AMD didn´t care about heating, so if you buy a FX instead of a I5, you should take in consideration that you will spend extra 20-30 bugs for a third party cooler (and you should).
Hope it helps (it will).

So i have the same problem the processor says in the manual that it can run up to 83 degrees before it shuts down.
But you might need to go into the bios and turn all your fans on turbo/high performance mode thats what i did and mine idles at like 20 somthing degrees C

 

[doulosofgod]

I'm using g990fx-ud3 motherboard and hyper 212 with. Thermal paste better than arctic silver 7. Also push pull fans and three other case fans.
My 8350 is overclocked at 4.7. And 1.45v and under load it's around 46c. I'm considering going higher with my clock speed but this is very stable, and I'm happy with it too. What do u guys think?
