Hello everyone. since i upgrade my pc, im having fps drops ina demanding games, then i downloaded HWMONITOR to see my temps. then i realized that when my cpu (CPUTIN) reaches 60c, the core speed goes down. can anyone help me with this problem:

My specs:

CPU: AMD FX 6300 3.5GHZ
GPU: GIGABYTE NVIDIA 1050 DUAL FAN
PSU: THERMALTAKE 350W
RAM: 2X8 GB 1333MHZ
CPU FAN: HYPER 212X
MOBO: ASROCK N68-GS4 FX
CASE: THERMALTAKE V2 BLACK

This is my first time using this page, so please give me some advice :)

Just looked at your board. It's not standard. If you look at the gold heatsink that says ASRock, then look left towards the rear of the case, those caps etc are the VRM's, so your hyper212 wouldn't do them much good in standard orientation. If you face it with the fan down, blowing up towards the top of the case, that should help, as it'll create a breeze through that area. For you though, best bet would be if you could mount a fan on the case side panel blowing directly onto the mobo.

sorry to ask, but what is VRM's ?

That's the voltage regulatory circuitry that includes the mosfets etc that surround the cpu socket. When those reach higher temps, you'll get cpu throttling. Some coolers are more affective at cooling these than others and if the VRM's have good heatsinking then towers can be beneficial with bleed air out the sides. Otherwise the downdraft style coolers are the most successful. Either way, it's an FX cpu, you shouldn't allow it to be reaching 80°C or even close, that's getting into damage rated temps.

would it help to make the fan spin in direction to VRM's ?

I don't think it is a heating issue. I think it is a power supply issue. Plopping what I know about your computer into a wattage calculator, it says you need 450 watts. You are starving for power. You are throttling at those temps simply because when you get that high a temp you are also pushing your CPU at that time. I would also consider a better fan, a blow down fan instead of a tower fan. You shouldn't be getting up to 80 degrees. Most PCs will shut down by that point to keep from damaging the CPU. You do want to get some air flowing towards the VRM. A case fan would help that. Perhaps two, one pulling air in and one pushing out. That keeps more fresh, cool air coming across it.

ok, thanks for the help

You can run a 1050 on a 300w psu, if it's decent. Even with 350w,its possible it's a psu issue, it is a TT psu and they are mediocre for the most part at the low wattage psu ranges. It's also possible that the voltages seen by the cpu are considerably higher than warranted for the cooling solution, a combination of case cooling and cpu cooler. So there's several small adjustments needing to be addressed, when added up make a somewhat large issue. The more issues you solve, the better off you'll be overall, even if it doesn't seem like much is done for each individual issue.

Seeing as your motherboard doesn't actually officially support the 6300 (or any 6 core CPU for that matter) I'd honestly just be happy it's actually working at all.

Are all 6 cores shown working in windows ??

Amd overdrive or hwinfo will show you cores & loads.

You may find only 4 cores are showing up.

Regarding throttling , absolutely a vrm temp issue - as said though even with a stock cooler you should not be touching 80c.

yeah, all 6 cores are working in HWMONITOR

Where do you see that? Asrock's website says it will support 8 core processors.
http://

Near the bottom of the page. Now it could be like my original MB, it wasn't originally designed to handle a FX8350 but with a bios update it would, but just barely. But Asrock clearly does say that the board is designed to work with up to 8 cores. Though on the CPU list it only shows 4 cores. Weird. Considering he is showing all six cores working though, I would say it is an oversight on the CPU list.

Digging some more, CPU-Upgrade.com does show the six and eight cores as being compatible. The tells me that the CPU list on Asrock's website is old and that the newer ones were added with a Bios update. Which means that they may work, but probably not as well as you would want.

How can it support the FX8350 (a 125w CPU) when it states it only supports up to 95w CPU's.

Also cannot see the 8350 on that link, I see some of the weaker 95w FX8xxx.

There are a few 8 core, 95w cpus, like the 8100, 8300, 8310, 8320E, 8370E etc. Just as there are 125w 4core and 6core FX Cpus. It's probably the single most f'd up thing amd ever did when claiming mobo's supported FX cpus, because the 760g did, as long as it was a 95w cpu. Several of those boards, especially the uber budget ones, wouldn't support even a 4core if it was 125w.
Oh, and TJmax on the FX Cpus (all of them) is 62°C. But since that's impossible to read accurately (even bios won't do it accurately) other than overdrive, the only 'iffy' method I know of to get ballpark temp figures is to use package temp, which usually runs @ 10 or so °C higher than the actual core temps, but even that's a rough guesstimate. Pretty much, if you are hitting 70°C or close on an FX, you are pushing your luck. Best to use Overdrive and stay in the 20's or higher.

Is that why his system shows all six cores working? And the 6300 only uses 95 watts, so yeah, he would not have any problem with a 6300. And they do have some 8 cores that use 95 watts. The 8320 and 8300 for instance. So yeah, that board can support 8 cores.

It does show an 8370 on the list, which is more power than the 8350. Likely an oversight

Op, are you sure your mobo is an ASRock N68-GS4 FX, not an ASRock N68-GS4 FX R2.0 ?? Because the R2.0 has full support for the FX Cpus... And that includes your FX6300.

Either that or you did a bios upgrade and used the R2.0 bios and it somehow has worked.

nop, it's N68-GS4 FX only
