CPU running too hot

[DarknessRising]

I am having problems with my cpu running really hot its not overclocked its gets really really hot during gaming at 69°C i am using ASUS Suite 2 to look at the tempertures i am getting really worried and holding back gaming as much as possible this just started a couple of weeks ago i upgraded my fan from the AMD 8350 Stock Cooler to the Hyper 212 Evo and still having overheating issues any comment would be greatly appreciated

That temperature is totally normal, the max temp of your CPU is 125 degrees, so honestly if that's the maximum heat its outputting there's nothing too worry about.

I don't have an FX 8350,but 69°C doesn't seem that high of a temperature.
My rule is,if it's under 75°C it's all good.If you're not convinced,just download OCCT and run the CPU test.

 

[DarknessRising]

thats completely wrong i know for a fact that the max temps are 61

 

[DarknessRising]

it says so on the AMD website

That information is completely wrong i think you mean 125 degrees fahrenheit

If you really want to be safe,change the thermal paste.Maybe you have too much(or too little).Your Hyper 212 Evo should keep it cool.
Where on AMD's site does it say that ?

 

[Hjgrove]

what thermal compound did you use?

 

[Hjgrove]

The TDP of the CPU is 125W... @zodiakku so 61 degrees seems a bit to low...

i have tried to remove and reapply the paste already

 

[DarknessRising]

i used the thermal grease that came with the Cooler Master Product

 

[Zodiakku]

125W(not degrees) is the maximum amount of heat that the FX 8350 generates(when not OC'ed).
This may seem trivial,but dust can clog things up quite badly.

Thank You

Worst comes to worst there's always the option of under clocking it temporarily to reduce heat output until this is sorted.

 

[Zodiakku]

@Hjgrove What temps should he be getting in full load ?
I mean,69 degrees isn't that high,but it's not that low either.

its slightly better than my stock cooler at 72 while gaming i do have turbo enabled in my BIOS

Worst comes to worst there's always the option of under clocking it temporarily to reduce heat output until this is sorted.

why should i underclock it when there are people running it at 4.0 Ghz with the stock cooler under 60 degrees could that mean the cpu is damaged?

 

[Hjgrove]

I doubt its your CPU cooler.
The thing that is most likely to go wrong would be a malfunctioning socket, but of course there is no way to test this theory without buying a whole new board (Not practical at all!)
And yes @zoddiakku those temps should honestly be a bit lower but they're not going to do any long term damage either.
Is your case dusty? @darknessrising also how many fans do you have on your case

 

[Zodiakku]

I don't suppose it's still under warranty,is it ?

 

[Hjgrove]

hahaha @zodiakku

my case isn't dusty at all i clean it every single week with compressed air

it is under warranty

You need a real cpu cooler like a DH14 with a 8320 or 8350. The Hyper 212 Evo of which I have three is ok with say a 4300 or a 6300 or a Deneb or even a Thuban. Not so much with an eight core.

really thinking of spending for the Swiftech H220

Well,if it's still under warranty just take it back to the store and ask for a replacement.It could be a defective socket(or the CPU itself).You could try a new cooling solution(or installing it on a different mobo to see if it's the cpu or the socket),but the easiest way would be to take it back to the store.
