FX 8350 temps

Minty649 · 15 Sep 2014 at 19:13

Hi, i recently upgraded to an fx 8350 and was just wondering about the temps. Before i was getting temps of 40! on idle but i re-applied the cooler etc and it now runs around 32-35. However, the temps could reach 40 with only a few applications open. I ran prime95 for 20 mins and the highest it got was 54 degrees, so i dont know whats goin on. So i am just wondering are these temps normal? or am i just being paranoid?

mobo: Asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0
GPU: R9 280x
CPU: FX 8350
PSU: XFX pro series 750w
HDD: WD 1TB
CPU cooler: Cooler Master hyper evo 212
Case: Zalman Z11
RAM: crucial tactical tracer 2x4gb, 1600

Thanks

Normal.

Have you overclocked? If so to what speed/voltage?

Minty649 · 15 Sep 2014 at 19:27

no, no overclock

Minty649 · 15 Sep 2014 at 19:30

so they are completely okay temps?

FX tends to run hotter. Download & use AMD OverDrive to check temps & note...

Thank you

A socket temp of 54C (if that is what you measured) for 8 cores running Prime95 for 20 mins is fine. The maximum is 70C I think.

As mentioned above, I think AMD overdrive is best, showing you the thermal margin.

I have the Sabertooth 990FX r2.0 and 8350 as well.

54c is really really fine.

Had mine up to 72C (not recommended) at 5Ghz while running cinebench

Also use realbench for stress testing, p95 is kinda useless.

Also also, overclock it!!

Them temps are fine

I run an 8320 and as far as i know its not that much different from the 8350 and my idle temps are around 35c-ish and can go a little higher when I'm doing this and that and when on BF4 temps go to about 54c , and that seems ok

Nothing at all wrong with those temps...

And what do you mean no overclock !!!!! get that bumped up to 4.4Ghz asap

Tuvoc · 16 Sep 2014 at 03:27

Mine didn't go up to 4.4 easily. I had to set the Load Line Calibration to High in order for it to pass things like Intel Burn Test. But for normal use, it wouldn't have required that. There is an effect on load temps !

my 8320 is @4.6 with 1.375V, temps seem fine in BF4, but still testing and lowering voltage as much as i can, and depending on how low i can get it, put some more through it again and get a higher overclock!

foster grant · 16 Sep 2014 at 09:07

Have to say though.....I have no Overclocks going either , In fact I have never overclocked....sounds silly I know but never got round to finding out how

I was hoping that 8Pack would release his AMD/FX overclocking guide, so we could all see how the pro's do it...

ALXAndy · 16 Sep 2014 at 11:25

An 8 core in Prime at 54c? are you looking at the core temps, or the actual package temp of the CPU?

I don't even think my 8320 did 54c stock clocks on a h100 in Prime.

What you need is HWMON, and you need to watch the Package temp. Once it gets into the 70s is when you need to watch it as it'll just shut down when it's had enough.

Look up the 83xx over clocking thread on here, loads of advice on how to do it on there

This was requested many times, but since Ian was busy setting world records and pumping iron the tech surpassed the point I think.

If there was some value in it for him he would have got round to it. Sadly the FX was not pushing any boundaries.

"my 8320 is @4.6 with 1.375V"

Thats pretty good.

Don't mean to hijack. Bare in mind I havn't touched any bios settings but my 8320 runs at about 1.41 volts with turbo mode on. How is your voltage so much lower?
