I am confused of what is overheating, please help!

As you guys can see under the WinBond W83627DHG -p under the temperatures it says CPU, but is it really the CPU?
Whenever i play games it would go up to 90+ Degrees and sometimes if i dont alt tab back to desktop to let it cool down, my computer would froze and not respond.
Its not the GPU its always about 30 degrees
Can you guys identify what is overheating and any solutions?
Please help!

Winbond is a chip on your motherboard that's overheating. I have to say they are dangerously high temperatures (90+). Make sure you have the right version of the BIOS installed

how do i check if it is right,does that mean i should update it?

 

[DonkeyOatie]

You voltages and clocks look OK, but your temps are higher than I would like and your fan speed is at max. It is possible that your CPU cooler is not installed properly, or the thermal paste has failed in some way.

So its a cpu problem? what can i do to fix it?but according to syked3 its a chip on the motherboard?

 

[syked3]

The chip on the motherboard is overheating, it could be a temperature control problem. As donkeyoatie suggested check your cpu cooler and thermal paste. To update the BIOS go to your motherboard manufacturers website, find your model and snoop around for any bios updates

 

[helpstar]

The winbond chip is reading the temperature and voltage of the CPU and motherboard. Check the cooler of the CPU renew thermal paste between cooler and cpu.

Check your graphics card with furmark.
How high is the temp?

If your CPU cooler is not performing properly, due to installation or thermal paste fault, it will not cool the CPU as well as it should and the resulting heat will warm up everything nearby. This is an easy possibility to check and fix and it will either fix the problem, or we can eliminate if from our list of possibilities. This does not mean that there is something wrong with the CPU.

Another possibility is overheating VRM (voltage regulators) on your motherboard.

The motherboard you are using is less robust that I would want to use for a FX6XXX with very light power phases and minimal VRM. The load of your CPU could be stressing these and overheating, but we work one step at a time, eliminating the easy and obvious first.

Thanks for the reply and explanation,i ordered a liquid cooler , see if it will solve the problem.

 

[helpstar]

Which liquid cooler? The liquid cooler is not a good idea because the vrms won't be cooled at all then. A big top blower would be the best thing to do.
Like scythe grand kama cross.

I would not advise that. There is no point throwing money at a problem until you know what the problem is!

If the problem is with the cooler, then just re-installing it will be a fix, perhaps. Liquid coolers are not inherently 'better' than air coolers, they just work differently and have some advantages and some drawbacks.

In particular, you are running a more powerful chip on this motherboard than I consider reasonable. This can cause parts of your motherboard, like the VRMs (which regulate the voltage to the CPU and other parts) to overheat. A 'top-down' cooler like the RAIJINTEK Pallas, or the Noctua NH C142 or the Xigmatek Janus, cools your CPU well ,and the air it pulls through can also help cool your VRMs. When you put in a radiator for a liquid cooler, it move the cooling effect elsewhere and will actually reduce the cooling of your motherboard.

You need to work out where the high temperatures are and what their cause is before taking action, which might make things worse.

I reinstalled it the CPU Fan and put some thermal plaste and the temp only dropped for about 5 degrees, thats about it.
I did the furmark benchmark and here is the result.

So what should i do since the problem isnt the CPU fan? I Dust my computer regularly and this started happening about 3 months ago & i have had this computer for about 3 years now,i didnt build this PC i bought it at Cyberpower i guess they did a bad job on it ? Should i be getting a new motherboard? If so which one do you guys suggest, also my Power supply is 350W, and how do i check if it was VRM problems? Thank you guys for sticking around & helping me.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

No. The computer was probably built properly. You have been using it at a bit over it's specification for three years. Things wear out after a while; even electronics, especially when hot.

To see if the VRMs are too hot, try setting up some sort of fan to blow air on them or even take the side panel off your case and see if the temperatures go down.

This computer is already past its 'best by'. I would be saving money for a complete re-build.

Replacing the motherboard will be expensive because it will take your OS with it. The OS is keyed to the motherboard.

Your PSU is cheap (likely) and it is getting to the end of its useful life if it is cheap. What GPU do you have?
