Hey guys, this will be a bit weird so bear with me.
Im not new to computers, just new to tackling this very specific issue.
I have a media PC with an FX-4200 and a Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard, cooler is a Hyper 212.
The cpu, the FX-4200, has some kind of faulty temp monitor. In AMD overdrive, it behaves normally when its thermal margin is in the 20-40c area.
Once the thermal margin goes under 20c (under load), it jumps right to -185c, which is physically impossible.
When this happens, the CPU throttles down to 1.3Ghz, causing a massive decrease in performance.
The same exact setup has absolutely no issues with an overclocked FX-8370. I know, undeniably, that the CPU's thermal sensor is faulty.
I wanted to see if anyone knew a way to disable thermal throttling, as the system believes it is running waaaaaay hotter than it actually is. In actuality, I estimate its thermal margin is about ~5-10c max.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys
