Overheating cpu amd fx8320

[Emil Olaru]

I just bought a cpu fx 8320 yesterday and I smelled in my room hot plastic. I downloaded HWmonitor and prime95 . I take a screenshot to show you my cpu temps. I stressed 4-5 minutes because i was worried about my socket to not burn. Please tell me what i to do. I have doubts about thermal paste . What do you think this temps are high? Cpu Temps under stress 5 min
Also im not using stock fan i got Segotep T2 Plus.

P.S: Sorry for my bad english.

Those temps are fine ...... But an aftermarket cooler would really help

You are still in the safe zone max is 62. But do not use prime95 with stock cooling. Get a decent cooler and overclock it if needed. The stock fan is shitty.

I got this cooler http://www.gearbest.com/cpu-cooler/pp_280435.html

It's a 95w tdp cooler your cpu is 125w see the problem? Get an 212 evo or similar

So what you recommend me to use atm untill i buy a new one? http://www.gearbest.com/cpu-cooler/pp_280435.html or stock one?

At asrock temperatures what mean cputin? I see is pretty high . I have to worry about it?

AUXTIN = Auxiliary Temperature Index. SYSTIN = System Temperature Index. CPUTIN is different from CoreTemp. CoreTemp is the sensor on the processor while CPUTIN is motherboard CPU temp sensor. AUXTIN is the power supply temp sensor if there is one.

You can use it until you get something better. But I think the stock is @ similar level

As seen in Task Manager, the CPU throttles. You have 2 issues:

1. The cooler is not good enough;
2. It doesn't cool the VRM, but it's an absolute must with that inexpensive motherboard. You ignored the note found at the top of this page for any FX CPU: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Pro3%20R2.0/?cat=CPU

Install the noisy stock cooler and your system will run fine. An aftermarket cooler has to meet ASRock's recommendations to prevent throttling.

You mean the * For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a CPU cooler with a top-down blowing design. note

Yes. The OP selected a best answer, but it's incorrect (not a good enough CPU cooler and it doesn't meet the VRM cooling requirements).

Ghislaing has a point, and that is the best ansvar. You get my vote.
