Hello, as the title suggests. I done a bit of homework, clearly wasn't enough. Purchased a MSI 990fxa Gaming motherboard and the AMD fx9590 cpu. the system works fine until there is substantial load on the cpu and the temps climb to over 50c this is when the system locks up.
It plays games fine with an average temp of 35c-45c
it only seems to have a load when downloading things especially when doing game updates on steam.
Full system specs are
MB: MSI 990FXA Gaming Bios v.1.4
CPU: AMD FX9590
RAM: Team Group Elite Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
PSU: Cougar STX 650W 80 Plus
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 750ti
HDD: Kingston 120gb SSD
I was on a budget for this build with aspirations of upgrading the Gfx card at a later date once I had saved more money, The reason I got the 9590 was it was on sale at the time and was cheaper than the 8350.
When I first built the system it would freeze almost instantly, I found some Bios tweaks on here.
C1E support is disabled
core 6 state is disabled
amd cool&quiet is enabled
These settings made the system more stable but when the temp increases to 50c it is pretty much guaranteed to freeze.
I am asking if this is a bios tweak that could fix the problem or do I need better cooling?
I am currently using a Raijintek Themis cpu cooler I feel this might be inadequate.
I apologise if there is already a solution to this problem on here, I spent a good couple of hours looking but couldnt find any solid solutions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jay
