[SOLVED] FX-8150 on ~80C while gaming???

[TarikS]

So I got this 8150 and applied paste and everything and when I game its like on ~80C for some reason, I have additional fan but still.
My voltage for some reason is 1.4125 and doesn't go lower in bios. My cooler is an Arctic Alpine 64GT.

My idle temps are like 40/50C

That reading isn't accurate. 61C is the thermal margin for that cpu: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series FX-8150.html
Use AMD Overdrive: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4645-amd-overdrive.html

Arctic Alpine 64GT

That cooler isn't adequate for that cpu at all: https://www.arctic.ac/us_en/alpine-64-gt-rev-2.html
65w TDP - the FX-8150 is 125w...

Any way to check the real temp?
And do you have any recommendations for a cooler for this cpu?

I just told you what to use and even included the link...

And do you have any recommendations for a cooler for this cpu?

I need to know your motherboard and chassis model.

My motherboard is GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2PV and my case is
Amazon.com
Thermaltake Black V3 Mid Tower Case

And is 1.41V normal?

If you left it on auto, yes.

Ok, there's a problem.
Your motherboard is not well suited for the cpu it's paired with. It consists of a weak 4+1 power phase - in time, the cpu will exhaust the power delivery, and you'll be forced to underclock the cpu to maintain stability.
You'll see symptoms such as, freezing, crashing, BSODs...
If you can't afford a new cpu/mobo/ram combo, I'd suggest going into bios and setting a max frequency of 3.5ghz in the bios.

As for potential cpu coolers without breaking the bank:
Cooler Master Hyper 212
Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO

Okay so I underclocked it to 3.5 and i am probably getting a new cooler at monday which can work with the fx 8150, its 125w

Good plan!
