vince232 :
hi guys can you help me? i have an fx 6300 and msi 880gms e41fx mobo with gammax s40 cooler. and im having high temps. i clocked it at 4.1ghz without messing up the voltage. just the multiplier.
hi guys i have 3 scenarios
picture 1 https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/...
AMD Stability test. no problems with stability never had an error 100% usage
coretemp says temp is 39C
AMD overdrive says 30.8C
picture 2 https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/...
Prime 95 test. didnt have an error
coretemp 41C
hwmonitor 41C
amd overdrive 28.6
picture 3 this is insane https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/...
still no errors but further tests maybe test 5
amd overdrive 185C
coretemp 255C
hwmonitor 206C
and i also have an idle photo but didnt upload it
AMD 53.9C
Coretemp 16C
Hwmonitor 16C
guys do you think my temps are credible? is it possible to go as high as 255 and not burn the chip and not create errors? i think when i have those insane temps, it lasted 5-10 mins before i got
scared and stopped prime95.
im also running the amd stability test right now
amd overdrive 29C
hwmonitor 41C
coretemp 41C
and im wondering cause if i hit that 200C+ shouldnt my mobo melted already?
For starters, uninstall AMD OverDrive. The program is very buggy, and causes issues and can probably cause hardware failure. (And it doesn't cover damage anyways, even though it is provided by AMD) But I hope you are using the BIOS while overclocking.
Second, I feel as the probes/sensors are bad or your programs are conflicting with each other causing bad reading. If your CPU reached 90*C it would have died instantly-and AMD has a safety feature inside which throttles the CPU when it over heats if it is not turned off. I forgot the name. And your computer would of turned off as well if it really got too hot for your hardware's protection.
I would have been amazed if your computer reached 200*C and worked :lol: let alone didn't melt because plastic:
The melting point of HDPE (High Density Polyethelyne) is about 130 ºC
The melting point of LDPE (Low Density Polyethelyne) is about 110 ºC
The melting point of PET (Polyethylene terphthalate) is about 250—260 ºC
The melting point of PP (Polypropylene) is about 160—170 ºC
The melting point of PS (Polystyrene) is about 70—115 ºC
The melting point of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is about 75—90 ºC
But 53*C is really hot for idle, and without voltage changes. I'm guessing you have faster RAM causing higher memory bus usage (which is in the CPU now). But regardless, that is very hot. If you have a stock cooler, don't overclock. 62*C for FX series s the safe temperature but people go to 70*C.
And your pictures don't load.
EDIT:
My preferred way of running Prime95 for maximum heat is:
Options>Torture Test
■ Custom
■ Min FFT 4096
■ Cores All
■ Memory, as much as you have available.
This will use all your RAM and use the memory bus more which creates more heat on top of your CPU being used 100%.
