cpu fan control?

[Konk]

so my cpu is on fire, how do i make it so its not on fire.

[⛧EyMi Mayhem⛧]

what fan/mobo/cpu do u have?

[shiel]

Can you provide a better description of your problem? Start with your cpu, which cooler you're using, how much thermal paste you used, the temps it's running at, etc...

[tacoshy]

there so many ways to work on the tempreture:

1. Lowering voltage of the CPU (might needs to lower clock too to run stable)
2. Getting a better CPU cooler
3. Reapplying changing thermal compound between CPU and Cooler
4. Run the fans of the CPU cooler faster
5. Delidding and changing the TIM to a better material liek liquid metal
6. Getting a better airflow in the case through a new case or faster or better or more case fans
...

well enough solutions but your system specs would be helpfull to know what the best first attemp would be.

CPU: AMF FX-8350
MB: ASUS M5 A97 LE R2.0
COOLER: Cosair H55

im getting around 30c on idle, and +70c under load. im not sure if that is too hot, but my games have been dropping frames for some reason, before they never did now they drop to like sub 30 fps pretty normally then shoot back up to 60.

The FX 8350 will thermal throttle if it goes above 63c.

So yeah it's overheating.

You need a better cooler. The one you have right now is a cheapo AIO.

alright, dont got the money right now, so is there some software i can get that makes my fan go faster?

Corsair link, also set the pump to high performance. Increasing fan speed only works if the water temperature in the AIO is the issue.

Making a fan on a AIO run faster will not make the CPU run cooler.


Are you overclocking?

You might want to reaply thermal paste.

how do i set it up for high proformance?

rip

no, im not

alright, ill try that.

I just double checked and the Corsair link thing will not work with this AIO.

I would use a fire extinguisher. Not an expert, but maybe BIOS settings.

I used a Corsair H50 on my old Phenom II x4 940 that I OC'ed the crap out of (well, may not OC'ed the crap out of, but I cranked a lot of extra voltage through it) and she kept temps under 60C.

Stock voltage (going from memory) on the 940 was automatically set to 1.250V (I could adjust it down to 1.2125 and still operate without issues at stock speeds of 3.0GHz). To hit 3.6GHz I had to set the voltage to 1.475. If I really wanted that extra .1GHz and have her run at 3.71, I'd have to set to voltage to 1.5375. The H50 kept temps under 60C.

The H55 should be able to keep the 8350 cool, even if there was a small overclock. It could just be that the H55 is on it's way out. As suggested, reapply new thermal paste and if that doesn't fix it, then it woudl be time for a new heatsink.

v1.5375 = 100c idle and dead CPU..

[tacoshy]

Voltage of 1.5375 under 60°C under load somehow I dont buy that story... pretty much everything already gets ripped at 1.5v.

How to you change the heatsink on an AIO?

Wow...no. You can believe what you want, but you're mistaken.

Max voltage on the MB for CPU was 1.55V (ASRock K10N780SLIx3-WiFi). When I had the CM 212+, I had to push 1.55V to hit 3.71 on the PII x4 940 I had. However, the temps ran around 63-65C. So I had to back it down to the 1.5125V and keep her at 3.6 (temps stayed around 60C).

The case I had was horrible with air flow, so the 212+ wasn't working as well as it should. I picked up a Corsair H50 from Best Buy one day because I saw it on sale for $39.99 (instead of the normal $60-70).

The AIO worked better in my case over the air cooler and I could run the same 3.6GHz, but only have to push 1.475V. To hit 3.71 I had to run the voltage at 1.5375 and the H50 kept the temps around 60C.

[upcoast]

The H55 is either busted or fan set too low in bios or wherever else, with a lesser cooler my 8350 doesn't push past 50c in the fall/winter/spring months mostly just gaming it's 45c tops, summer heat waves that's the extreme and sometimes I see 52c-55c but it'll be 25c-27c+ in the shade.

With the aio coolers pull the air from outside the case and have good exhaust going out of the case.

Ps, If you've got to get a new cooler just get a 212plus/evo or the better Cryorig H7.
