AMD Phenom II X4 955 overheating

[Izna]

On idle condition the temperature of my processor is at 34-35 degrees except on full load by the use of the software OCCT it goes to 60 and afterward slowly increases toward 80 degrees. I know that this is a good processor but I don’t know why it can’t handle extreme load. Is there any reason for that or any kind of fix? Below are my computer specifications which you can check if there any wrong with that:

• CPU:AMD Phenom II X4 955 quad core 3.2GHz Black Edition
• Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2 Motherboard
• Heatsink:Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme Rev. 2 CPU Cooler
• RAM: Corsair DDR3 1333MHz 4gb
• Power supply: CiT 750W Black PSU
• HDD: Hitachi 1tb 7200rpm

Prime 95 as well as OCCT are dissimilar, prime will shove your microprocessor temps toward great numbers you won't observe whilst gaming, video editing, and so forth., it's a pressure examination. I utilize cinebench to check my processor temps. It’s a free of charge program intended to analyze your processor thus it runs next to 100% the complete time. While I was using a 955 BE, temperatures ran regarding 65c whilst running Folding at Home. I had an accurate by 2 fans intended for cooling. There's no approach about it, the processor runs hot. However it didn’t troubled anything if it hit near 63c.

The temperature issue is normal in majority of computers. You should take a proper action regarding this otherwise it will damage either your processor or your entire process. Attempt your CPU and motherboard configuration outside of computer case on a portion of non-conducting stuff to observe if temp will fall. Simply to be 100% certain do verify that the fan is located properly on top of the heatsink. The air must be blown toward the heatsink, not be sucked all the way through. Furthermore make sure that the heatsink is dirt free.

If your computer has countless memory, moreover the sticks are not in ideal sync CPU temps increase extremely quick. Can you, while the moment comes, speak a slight further regarding your memory: Model, kits/pairs otherwise not, what you have place them in the direction of, and perhaps somewhat besides. For the time being, you may perhaps struggle with what is a faultless kit/pair of sticks otherwise a solitary stick, and allow the rest be for a moment, to notice if that makes stuff superior.

AS far as I know that the Gigabyte motherboards overvolt AMD Phenom II processor for various reason (runs mine by the side of 1.4V, except stock Vcore intended for these CPUs is 1.325V). Noticeably this put in countless high temperature in addition to sound. Therefore if you are getting overheating issues decreasing the voltage would assist. Would furthermore maintain your heatsink from ramping awake accordingly much whilst gaming.

You must modify voltage inside the BIOS. The Gigabyte motherboards are strange for the reason that they overvoltage if you place system voltage manage toward auto. Altering it toward manual (devoid of essentially regulating the Vcore setting itself) must end temperature related issue. However you have said that there is no overclocking and in this situation there is no need to set or decrease the voltage. The issue might be something different.

Within the BIOS, there is a configuration named "System Voltage Control" which can be situating toward Auto otherwise Manual. All it actually does is switch the capability to regulate the variety of voltages, processor, chipset, RAM, and so on. Extraordinarily, while it was situating to Auto, it caused the motherboard to transport the equal of a 1.400V physical setting to the processor, even if the BIOS informed that it was operating at 1.325V. Altering the setting to Manual resolved the trouble, even supposing we did not essentially pierce in a particular CPU voltage.
