This can't be right?

Just purchased a h80I for my 8350 due to temps getting to about 60 degrees when overclocked to 4.5ghz.

Ran Prime for about 30 minutes, came back and my temps while on full load were 40 degrees. Surely this can't be right?

These are readings from HWmonitor and Speedfan. (HWmonitor each core, so a little less.)

Seems a little low but not that unusually low if you've got decent airflow - kind of temps I was getting with the Antec 1250 in a temperature controlled environment: http://aten-hosted.com/images/1250c.jpg

maybe throttling had been enabled?

ternity · 31 May 2014 at 23:30

Nope. Stable 4.5 GHZ according to CPU-Z, have every power state off. Although the fans do sound like an aircraft carrier, haven't installed the corsair link stuff yet.

-Get about 30 degrees idle - So it only increases by 10 degrees during full load?

is that the socket temp?

I got it stable @4.7 ghz at 1.416v

Can you look this over and let me know if you see any abnormalities? First time overclocking properly.

Started off by overclocking the NB to 4.5, then using the multiplier.

Thank you!

Looks like good temps and good voltage! Does seem like a very low temp, but I guess if thats what it says it is thats what it must be! What temp is the coolant in the h80i?

Okay managed to get it stable @4.8ghz 1.425v after hours of tweaking and reading guys. After about an hour on prime it does start to throttle even with all of the power states off.

Could this be due to my vrms overheating? I got it to 5ghz on 1.45v but same thing hence why I brought it down.

So either I got a good chip or I've done it all wrong!

This is the mobo - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-471-GI

Could well be VRMs, not sure though, don't know enough about your motherboard, but it is an issue with 83xx series.

What are you actually planning on doing with the chip? P95 is a v tough test, and an hour of it is definitely enough for pretty much any application!

Mine fails after 10 minutes or so (core 6 every time) but will play all the games I want to (bf4 etc) for hours on end with no ill effects

I was under the impression the temps on the 8350 never give accurate readings?

breadturbo · 1 Jun 2014 at 16:47

FX chips don't have temp sensors,the only sensor is on the motherboard, the 'socket temp'

Best bet is download 'Argus Monitor' and check it with that.

cwgk91 · 1 Jun 2014 at 16:50

They use some strange algorithm which doesn't work at low temps, but is apparently accurate under load. HWMonitor shows both the motherboard socket temp and the package temp of the 8350

Your 3.3V, 5V and 12V readings are all over the place??

ternity · 3 Jun 2014 at 16:12

what could that mean?

JonSmith · 3 Jun 2014 at 16:21

Nothing because it's just not reading them correctly. They have to be fine otherwise your PC wouldn't work at all.
