New AMD FX-8350 - Temperatures too high?

[3v3r]

Hi guys,

I just built my first pc yesterday. The specs are:

AMD FX-8350
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
HD4890 GPU (Second hand, ran out of cash for a new one)
750W CoolerMaster PSU
NZXT Gamma Cabinet
1 Fan blowing in and 1 Exhaust on the chassis

The first thing i noticed when I started the system was the insanely loud CPU Fan noise. It seemed to be running at MAX RPM all the time, even on idle.

This problem hasn't gone away and I've noticed high temperatures even at idle. I've attached a few screenshots I've taken below:

I'm not sure what to do, if i set the profile to Turbo in Fan XPert the sound which is already unbearable becomes twice as bad with no change in the temperatures.
Is there something wrong with my setup? Please help.

It will surely reduce temperatures.
Ya and i think it will be quieter.

Go for it or if you want extreme results wait for a month or 2 to buy an even better one

and read reviews at the bottom of the page

They look good, thank you! Do you think this cool will be quieter than the stock one?

If you need to hold off on buying a good cooling fan, and you're not overclocked. You can undervolt the CPU slightly and it will run cooler. Try going into your BIOS and adjusting your CPU voltage down by 0.1-0.15 volts and that will knock a few degrees off your temps until you can afford to buy a better cooler. Your CPU should run perfectly stable there.

EDIT: Disable "C-States" in your BIOS too, because the powersaver features could drop your core voltage to an unstable level when you undervolt your CPU.

I use a H80 cooler on my 8350, temps stay low and it's quiet. I do have a lot of fans in my case to expel the heat from gpu's and cpu. Under load with the H80 I stay between 45-48c.

My FX8350 is at 5.1 ghz \ 1.384 vols \ Phanteks PH-TC14PE Temps \ Low 50's

Thank you all, Ill keep your suggestions in mind. Im going to try and get a cooler asap as that will take care of the sound and hopefully some of the overheating issue as well. Will update stats after I install the cooler. Cheers!

Hi 3v3r

I also have 8350 with boxed cooler at stock speed on an ASUS mobo, though be it a Sabertooth R2 990FX chipset.

I've had a look at your components and your setup looks good to me and should be an adequate construction.

My suggestion to you is to try taking the top cover off the pc case and measure the temps when the case is open and has plenty of air flow. If this helps you will need to add ventilation fans to the case.

The 4890 GPU is an OCed version of the 4870 and tends to run higher temps than the stock, combine this with a high end CPU and it looks to me like your case can't expel the excess heat quickly enough. Make sure the pc is not up against a solid wall or another electronic device that also outputs heat.

Hey harna, thanks for replying. I will do that soon and post the results here. I've also just moved my pc so that it's not against the wall. Does your stock fan also emit a whine and run at 5500+rpm with light load?

Audible, but not a whine. I don't have an RPM figure for you, but pretty sure it's under 5000. The RPM should drop off if the air flow is sufficient. It's more than likely the heat output from the GPU that's causing the CPU fan to wind up. It's probably dragging the warm case air over the CPU.
