CPU Overheating Issues!?

[romservo]

I just recently built a new machine and was in bios checking some settings when i noticed my cpu temp was consistently going up. The system temp sits around 70°C, but the cpu was shooting up around 90°-95°C. Ive read that lots of cpus run around that area but i looked up the specs on mine and its max operating temp is 75°C! Is that right?

I have a friend who used this same mobo/processor combo and his machine just recently quit.. he thinks he fried his mobo somehow but now i wonder if the cpu fried from overheating. I know theyre compatible because even newegg sells them together in build kits.

All the settings for the voltage are right for this cpu in bios. Also, I tried boosting the fans, even running with an open case. Still runs around 90.

At this point im afraid to even boot up until i figure out if that temp is right.

Is it possible this combo is causing overheating? Or is that temp normal?

I REALLY dont want to fry my new cpu. Anybody got any insight?

Heres my setup:

MOBO- GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XN-WIFI FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) 4 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD 

CPU- AMD A10-5800K Trinity Quad-Core 3.8GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W AD580KWOHJBOX Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 7660D

RAM- G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM

HDD- WD Blue 500

Those temps are way too high, the cooler is probably making bad contact with the CPU and it lacks or has too much thermal paste.
I would suggest getting an after market cooler to replace the stock cooler. Something like a Cryorig h7 or a CM 212 EVO would be nice.

The heatsink came out of the package with its own thermal paste pre-applied. Is that not the appropriate amount for that unit?

Is it possible the cooler that comes with this cpu is entirely insufficient?

 

[drixkarasu]

The stock cooler is the bare minimum to keep the CPU cool, so a case with bad airflow or high ambient temperatures might render it insufficient.
The pre-applied paste the stock cooler comes with is the right amount, but maybe the cooler is not properly seated and making poor contact with the CPU.
Replacing the stock cooler is always a good idea anyway since you will get lower temps and less noise.

Ok. Thats my only next step really b/c it has to be ruled out at least. My machine is a low profile built off a mini itx... i need to find a low profile cooler that will fit inside this smaller case. I think i have about 145mm of clearance between the cpu and the chassis. Any suggestions?

I see now after some research on aftermarket coolers how the stock would be insufficient. I found some great low profiles for my fm2+ socket that should cool far better. If that isnt enough then ill upgrade chassis fans too.

Thanks for your help!
