Hot cpu when running intelBurnTest

[hayhaycrusher]

When running the test once on high the score was

Time (s) Speed (GFlops)
65.141 40.5662

Cpu-Z Validator Specs - http://valid.x86.fr/5x3fd7

With HWMonitor
Min Temp (27°C)
Max Temp (79°C)

It passed the test, is this temperature ok.

I dont know what else to do with cooling, i have a Cooler-master Master-case pro 5, and a cooler-master Heat-sink with 2 fans on.

I have 5 case fans
1 Exhaust Back
2 Exhaust Top
2 intake Front

If your CPU is overheating, it needs better cooling. Forget about all the case fans for now. What model CM cooler are you using?

I probably would need to upgrade this, it is old....

Yeah, that isn't up to cooling a FX-8350 at any great increase in freq. I'm using the 212 EVO on mine @ 4.7 GHz and it is just barely able to keep the OC'ed CPU within safe temps.

What do you call safe temps? Would you recommend 212 Evo?

 

[Ra_V_en]

This temps looks not that bad especially over those conditions? You didn't tell us the most important information... what is the cooler used for the CPU lol!
Edit: Tx3... well 212 Evo would certainly make a bit difference maybe -9C or so.

[hayhaycrusher]

Any other better air coolers for a similar price, any recommendations?

 

[Ra_V_en]

For the similar price maybe Xigmatek or Raijintek. Are you from US?

It's the best air cooler "for the price". There are better, but you'll pay a lot more for slightly better performance. It all depends on your budget. I'm also using a Corsair H60 on two of my builds. Slightly better cooling performance than the 212 EVO, and easier to install. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181030

Nope, UK.

Well, thanks for the help i guess!

You guys in the us get the Corsair H60 atleast $30 cheaper.

@ clutch actually that widely depends on location. In non US/GBP/EUR countries you pay quite much for the exchange rate, some local solutions might look better in that case.

@ hayhaycrusher
I believe I've found good alternative:

Edit: Now give me that "best solution" back... and put clutch -2 for spreading hype without research 😛

 

[clutchc]

I forgot to answer your question about what I call "safe temps"... On an AMD CPU I usually use AOD and watch thermal margins. http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/technologies-gaming/over-drive
At least until I have a feel for what the TM is compared to what 3rd party apps report as CPU temp. In AOD I like to keep TMs in the double digits. Although this review says it is fine to use the full TM down to zero. http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2122665/understanding-temperature-amd-cpus-apus.html

Can i ask what voltage you use?

These are the settings I was able to use on my particular board (Asrock 990FX Extreme6)

After tweaking some settings when running a standard Intel burn test on Amd OverDrive the lowest it dropped was -2.5 for a brief moment.

These are my current settings, i most likely will be getting a better cooler.

looks very good. You are able to have a stable OC at only 1.28V. Better than mine. Good board. I wouldn't worry about the fluctuation.

Btw, 2.5 what? What dropped to 2.5?

Oh yeah, the thermal margin sorry.

That's to low for my tastes, although the author of that article I sent says you can use the whole thing. I like to keep it in double digits. Mine throttles before it gets into single digits. Is yours?
But on the plus side, you'll rarely run the CPU as hard as you do with IBT. Try running some games at high settings and watch temps.

If you watch temps instead of TM, 70C is about max before the CPU throttles... I think.
