Overheating CPU after new CPU cooler.

[Sundaram sharma]

Note:-
1.Here I am a new PC builder with NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, I am Indian and poor to, please help this poor.

2.I have made this machine only with help of internet.

3.No overclocking done before and now

4.I generally do my programming, watch videos on YouTube, normal gaming in optimal graphics, nothing else like overclocking.
Also I have latest drivers with latest bios update

5. Really so for my bad English also.



My specs :-

.Fx 8350 4.0ghz
.Motherboard m5a97 evo r2.0
.Adata 1x8gb ram 1600mhz
.Deepcool gammaxx 400 CPU cooler
.R9 285 2gb Asus strix GPU
.Toshiba 1 tb HDD
.Corsair cx750m 750w power supply unit
.Zebronics full tower cabinet with 3 120mm fans


It was working just fine with AMD stock cooler with a local brand iball PSU, but as soon as I upgraded my PSU and the CPU cooler, my temps are just very high just in boot process......same results when again connected with my iball PSU,

When I push the start button of my PC, I can really feel it becomes hot in just 3-5 seconds, extremely hot if I don't enter my boot password....yes, I can feel it when I put my hands on the heatsink's (CPU cooler) head....

Please someone help me, I have bought my CPU cooler to freeze it down, not to roast it up....

Also before my 1x 8 GB adata stick shows full 8 GB ram in windows system information paga, but now it shows 8gb ram installed (7.90 GB usable )....

Temp with hwmonitor gaming 60 minutes


Amd stock
Avg - 37
Min - 23
Max - 61

New cooler
Avg - 48
Min - 41
Max - 70

At boot, the temps are 45-50c


Q.1 Does I have applied more thermal paste, wrong, etc.....if so then why whole heatsink including CPU goes hot in few seconds, ( I can feel that with open cabinet)

Q.2 is my ram faulty ? As it shows 7.90 GB usable... And when I remove my single ram, speaker beeps but at that time CPU remains cold.

Q.3 have I damaged CPU pins that causes high temps and 7.90 GB ram usable ? But it is working even the temps were high

Q.4 is my heatsink is faulty .....but fan is moving nicely....


Please help me ....someone save me ?

Which CPU Cooler have you installed lately?(Name and model of The new one)

 

[Sundaram sharma]

It's a stock cooler from amd come within the processor box and new is deepcool gammaxx 400

 

[senseijtitus]

Deep cool Gammaxx400 is a very good cooler. It should be coming with the thermal compound paste under the heat sink already applied. Right?

 

[Sundaram sharma]

Yes, applied all the paste came with that

 

[senseijtitus]

What about the Cabinet, how are the intake and exhaust fans arranged in it?

 

[Sundaram sharma]

Thanks for your attention sir,

I have 3 120mm fans attached to the cabinet and cabinet is quite large for the required cooling....

It's good and easy to install, but not as good as the CM 212 EVO and certainly not the best cooler for that CPU. The OP also used all the thermal compound which is too much as it isolates the CPU from the cooler.

 

[Sundaram sharma]

I am soon buying a new thermal paste with one more CPU fan of 120mm. That will be attach with the heatsink......so there will be two fans for the single heatsink...., that must cool something

 

[GhislainG]

Your cooler apparently has a surface that's almost perfectly flat; therefore it should require very little thermal paste (the size of a grain of rice is enough). Based on other cooler reviews, I'd presume adding a second fan will decrease temperatures by a couple °C; your current issue is the thermal paste that isolates the CPU from the heat sink.

But Gammaxx 400 comes with the Thermal compound fixed under the heat sink as a layer. Right?

No. You can see the small bag in the second picture at http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Deepcool-Gammaxx-400-CPU-Cooler-Review/1551.
