AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Running To Hot At Stock Speeds!!

maybe posting up some screenies of your bios setup will help..

Everyone here may be forgetting ambient temps, where is the comp and is it a warm room already?

Agreed.

39 Degrees on idle is far too high. I constantly look at and post my idle temps because they are so low for the same cpu.

I've had mine as low as 25 degrees and that's still with a problem I had installing my V8.

I'd suggest finding out the ambient, checking air flow other than the cooler (showing a pic of the set up would help) and sorry to ask but how much AS are you using?

Double post

my chip was running the same temps, i got a sun beam core contact freezer today and it is idling about 29-32 and 45 at full load now

the stock cooler just seems to not be able to handle this chip properly.

Temperature difference (namely a small one) between idle and load suggests either high ambients or a bad mount. It's in a hot place or has too much paste between chip and heatsink.

Of course it isn't helping that its a quad core with a fairly cheap sink on top. I don't think 55 load is hot either, but then I use intel chips which run hotter than some ovens.

I have just gone out and bought a phenom II x4 quad core 955 black edition cpu, its running mega hot about 46c idel and 55c under max load. Its nothing to do with airflow because ive took the side off my case no difference, I have even took off the heatsink which is a freezer 64 pro and re set it about 5 times thinking it was the heatsink not seated correcty or something. This cooler was fine on me phenom II x2 so its not the cooler.

It seems way to hot could it be faulty ?

I thought this cpu overclocked well im stuggling keep it cool at stock speeds.. haha

edit:

Im using this motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P

I had similar issue last year

in the end there was an article on fudzilla that mentioned they lowered the vcore until unstable then uped it one again... that helped me ( I don't do overclocking )

perhaps its overvolting on auto, check the voltage with hw monitor,cpu-z or similar.
