AMD Heat sink fan problem.

[sukesh1090]

guys 2-3 days before i bought the system which is in my siggy.the fan on the heat sink runs at a speed of 5000-6000RPM @ temperature 45C when i will be there in BIOS.i have chosen PWM as the smart fan control option.because of such a high RPM it makes a whole lot of nice,i feel like i am under a truck engine..Is ther any way to reduce its speed?
BTW will the TIM takes some time to get settled after installation?as i am seeing some temperature drop of 3-4C from yesterday to today night.

Control the speed of your fan with SpeedFan and check if your mobo bios has any fan features.

i will try speedfan tomorow.my mobo has got three smart fan control option,
1]Auto
2]Voltage
3]PWM
when i set to auto it mostly runs above 5000RPM,if i set to voltage it runs at 6050RPM whole day,if i set it to PWM it varies according to temp from 3500-5000RPM.
Thank you.

That stock HSF has ridiculous high rpm which is the reason of the noise i recommend u to get a cheap TX3

 

[topgear]

^^ the fan is sniping high because of overheating - this is posted by the OP himself
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/cpu-motherboards/145492-processor-over-heating-problem.html
So if reinstalling the stock HSF with good TiM does not solve this he better get a TX3.

^Exactly.. this was one of the reasons why I ditched Phenom II's stock HSF & went for Cooler Master TX3... Get it bro, it's worth every penny..

i reapplied tim guys but still system gets heated up to 70-73C while running prime 95 just for 10Min.

 

[sukesh1090]

guys look like i found the solution.i decreased the V core from 1.4 to 1.25 and the temp decreased to 62 after 15 min of prime 95 test.i will see if i still can lower the v core and get a stable system.for now it is stable.

that is just a temporary solution will not lowering the default vcore affect performance/stability on full load as others suggested get a TX3

What's the TDP rating of your processor? And, what's the idle temperature now? Please post the exact results.. A CPU-Z screenshot along with SpeedFan would help..

 

[sukesh1090]

my processor tdp is 125W.here is the pic of the cpuz and hwinfo.

There is very little you can do in this case. Apart from maintaining proper ventilation , you need to invest in after market CPU cooler, if that noise is bothering you and if you CPU is overheating. The stock HSF for this CPU and x6 , suck!!

and yea, please change that frontech PSU

 

[hellknight]

First of all, the TDP is 125 W.. secondly, you've overclocked it to 3.4 GHz, last but not the least it's running at full speed.. The temperature of 42 D is normal.. you should select balanced mode in the power profiles. It should underclock the processor when not in use, just make sure the minimum processor usage state is 5% (it is in most of the cases)

I had a Phenom II 720 BE & it reached 42 even here in Himachal when I overclocked it, when I used to run 3D mark and other benchmarks, it used to touch 70 Degrees.. So, it is normal.. If you're very concerned about the temperature, then you should get a Cooler Master Hyper TX3..

@ op i am also having the same proccy like u with stock cooler but not OCed. I ran P95 one day to see the temp reading. it ran for two hrs.(see the start time & system time).

 

[sukesh1090]

^^can you tell me your temp as it is not clear.
here is the pic after running prime95 for 1 hour.now it idles @ 38C after i changed its power profile.btw if it tends to heat that much then why don't they provide better cooler.and also their optimum temp is less than all other proccys.

 

[hellknight]

@Op 38 C is good.. besides, where do you live, what is the room temperature & which case are you using?

 

[sukesh1090]

i live in udupi, Karnataka.room temp may be around 25-28C.the case is a crappy frontech one.i played assassins creed for about 2hr and the max temp was 55C.2cores loaded full and other two @ 75%.thank you.

CPU 52
MOBO 43
HDD 40
CORE 56

CPU FAN 6308
REAR EXHAUST 1891
SIDE INTAKE 1214

VCORE1 0.00V
VCORE2 1.62V
+3.3 1.15V
+5V 5.08V
+12V 16.32V


To what power profile you have changed it?

 

[sukesh1090]

VCORE2 1.62V

do you want to kill your processor?
i just dragged the speed setting slide in cpu overdrive.now its set at min-800MHz and max-3400MHz.and i guess the value at your +12V rail is way too high.

 

[avichandana20000]

^^AFAIK VCORE1 IS CPU VOLTAGE & VCORE 2 isRAM VOLTAGE.Correct me if i am wrong.
