This applys for PC gaming purposes!
What is the issue?
- My CPU temperature goes above 80celcius (Load) then shuts the PC down at about 85c
Did you clean out debris and dust?
- Yes
Did you put new thermal paste on the CPU Heatsink/Fan?
-Yes, cleaned with Iso alcohol then applied properly (Re-applied it about 5 times now to make sure)
Did you upgrade your BIOS?
- Yes
Proper ventilation and/or turned up fan speeds in case and on CPU fan?
- Yes. Bought new exhaust and intake fans (Case blowing cold air)
- Yes (CPU fan maxes out at about 3300rpms)
Is your GPU running hot?
- No it is running very cool actually
Do you Overlock?
- I overclock NOTHING
Running stock CPU cooler?
- Yes, I don't see why I should have to buy an aftermarket (Not like my PC is all that insane)
I've tried everything guys, even talked to a technician at a local PC shop on the phone for some troubleshooting tips but I can't seem to figure out why it's doing this. Even if it doesn't get hot enough to shut the PC down, it will get so hot that it drop Frame Rate in games I play because it's trying to keep itself cool I guess. I just upgraded my PSU, GPU and RAM but I don't think those are relevant because I even tried to swap my old GPU in to see if the CPU would overheat and it still overheated. I can't see the RAM or PSU being an issue as the voltage is fine.
I've troubleshooted this for about 5 days straight (After work until bed) literally and I'm at the point of just buying a new Motherboard and CPU so I don't even have to think about this anymore.
PC Specs:
- AMD FX-series 4200 Quad Core 3.30GHZ
- EVGA GeForce 750 Superclocked 1GB (No external power source, plugs direct to MB)
- 8GB RAM DDR3 1333mhz
- Corsair CX500w Power Supply
- Nice big case with solid ventilation (Ibuypower ARC 647 case)
Only idea I have left is maybe buying a new CPU cooler? Is my setup just not properly working together? Please help guys! I'm at the end of the rope here!
