Need some help with my cpu temperatures

[Aaronwaring98]

Need some help Basically i installed a new cpu cool (noctua NH-D14)i hoped this would of helped of cpu from reaching 85+ on medium settings
i have done the thermal paste like 3 times now and still no hope

my cpu is a amd 8350 4 ghz
and my psu is 850w
gpu is asus 290x

thanks for reading 😀

Which program are you running to see the CPU temps, and I would see if the fan is installed correctly.

 

[Aaronwaring98]

Fans are installed correctly

and im using coretemps and my recording device gives me a temperature reading.

as the Noctua NH-D14 is such a high quality CPU cooler im going to say that either your CPU's voltage is too high causing it to heat up, you have applied too much thermal paste, the CPU cooler is fault or that your computer case has terrible air flow and always has stale air in it.

My cpu is at 1.4 volts

my case is a xfx type01 and i added 2 extra fans

and the cpu cooler is brand new

 

[Aaronwaring98]

hmmm

if im not mistaken the FX-8350 is stock 1.375v ? if so you can try turning the voltage down to 1.375 to see if that drops the temps a little.

doesn't matter how many fans you have if they are not in a good intake/exhaust alignment.

even if the cooler is brand new it could be faulty.

did those voltages come preset because they seem a little high. Even if they are preset, Try to tone it down to 1.3 of so.

Are you absolutely sure you installed the cooler correctly?
If you overclock could you reset to default settings?

I would like to say that I installed an i7 recently and the first time I installed I put my TX3 EVO on it and while stress testing it with an Intel overclocking program it was getting throttling at 92C.
When I took the cooler off i found out that the cooler had moved a bit when I was pushing the pins down to install it so it had disturbed the thermal paste seal so I removed the cooler then wiped the CPU and cooler clean then installed it again with some cooler master paste this time. I now get a max of 75C on stress test and 63C while gaming.

Check your cooler..

Hello... 1) as a "simple test" remove a cover from your case to determine how much the case changes your temps.
2) With Thermal Paste less is better... you want metal to metal contact for best thermal transfer.
3) What is the room temperature?

 

[Aaronwaring98]

my room is very cold as im in the uk and i always keep my windows open

i have redone the thermal paste 4 times to make sure and still no difference 🙁

 

[Ironsounds]

Hello... 4) Look at your MB Bio's for a more aggressive Fan speed VS temperature profile.... what temps do you get when your FAN is running at full speed?

 

[madmatt30]

Use amd overdrive & its thermal margin readout for temps not core temp.
The extra voltage is likely just the boards llc setting over compensating for vdroop.

 

[Aaronwaring98]

im using amd overdrive rn and with nothing running i am at 53c and my room is very cool

 

[madmatt30]

If the thermal margin is showing 53c that actually means your CPU is running at 18-19c , meaning there is nothing wrong with your system.

you guys are crazy at computers lmfao
