FX-8320 Insane temperatures.

[rappit]

Hey guys!
So this is driving me crazy. I have an FX-8320 with a TR Silverarrow IB-e (!!!) one of the best aircoolers in the market and I have really high temps. Currently I'm at 4,5 GHZ with 1,452V. When I play BF4 I get 72C. Today when I played BF4 my computer just shut down and then restarted, after I started playing again it just froze. I closed out any possibility, I have a very good case (Enermaxx iVektor) with 4 fans (one of them is a 14cm one) and I brought an AC MX-2 thermal paste. I tried applying the paste just by putting a bean sized dot in the middle, I even tried spreading it but none of them helped. Do you guys have any suggestion? My CPU is faulty? I still have warranty for it.
Thanks for the replies in advance!

Hmm. Two questions:

Are you running Windows 64bit or 32bit?

What kind of RAM, and indeed how much of it, are you running with?

That's a huge voltage for an 8320 (even at 4.5ghz) ,absolutely unsurprised you're hitting 70c+ no matter how good your cooler.

You're overclocking your cpu by nearly 30% & wondering if it may be faulty ???
Unlikely.

You've not mentioned your mb - which plays as big a part in this as the cooler.

List your complete specs.

Temps around 70 degrees will cause it to throttle and shut down , shoud be kept below 62 degrees.

First of all, thanks for helping me.
Here is my full spec:

AMD FX-8320 with a Silverarrow IB-E
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G overclocked a bit.
ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0
Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB x2 1883Mhz
Kingston 120GB SSD
Western Digital Blue (320GB+500GB)
Enermaxx iVektor case
Windows 8.1 64bit.
What I did is I set every BIOS settings to Default and I still get really high temps.
Update: And also about 3 mins of Prime95 caused it to freeze completely with default BIOS settings.....

What's your voltage reading at stock?? Idle & under load.
& download & use amd overdrive for this.
Don't trust hwinfo or hwmonitor .

Now with default settings it shuts off while playing Team Fortress 2.... this is getting out of hand...

your temps are incredibly good mate
however theres no way on this planet that bios is set to default stock speeds
on those images above,the idle one is showing the clocks at the 8320 turbocore speed & full voltage,the loaded one is dropping clocks to the stock 3.5ghz & dropping voltage aswell.
thats not normal behaviour at all.
How exactly were you overclocking??
NOt incredibly familiar with the asus bios,I did a couple of builds with the normal r2 board a year or so back but cant remember the bios options now.
I know it has an auto overclocking option,were you using this or just setting the multiplier & tweaking voltage manually?? ( which is what you should have been doing)

To reiterate ,I still consider that voltage fairly high,Im running at 4.2ghz with a voltage of 1.375 (I do have an incredibly good handpicked chip there though from a batch of a dozen or so,I woudlnt expect such low voltage on most 8320's but theres still something wrong)

I overclocked manually by tweaking the settings. I followed a well written guide. Yesterday I just pressed F5 which sets everything to default and it still froze. The settings which you see above is the out of the box bios settings. Today I unplugged everything and plugged back and started doing a Prime95 about 6mins it froze again and when I wanted to start again it didn't even POST. Just a red LED lit up in the motherboard.

When i press the dram_led button the dram_led flashes 7 times and after that the cpu_led 2 times
