lolz, 3V core voltage... damn'....
Also my vrms get insanely high.
Yeah, getting high is insane alright...
Define VRM's?
Many people think the chokes getting really hot is bad, it's not, the normal operating temp at full capacity of most chokes is around 70 °C, which feels dangerously hot to the human skin, and causes burns. If you can touch them without instant pain, they're not even running at full capacity. What shouldn't become hot, are those tiny SMD dual MOS-FETs that look way less important than those big chokes, and the chances of modern MOS-FETs getting very hot are quite small, because they're very efficient and thus don't convert much electrical energy into heat.
3V core voltage is just not possible.
Thermal throttling is part of any CPU design of the last 5 years or so. AMD CPU's actually throttle very little in comparison to Intel CPU's. That's also why it's possible to burn out an AMD CPU, whereas an Intel CPU is very hard to blow out except when it's a bad chip (which unfortunately is not an exception in Haswell chips). Generally, if you get heavy throttling on an AMD CPU, it's because you have not invested in a good enough motherboard for it, and your motherboard is not capable of delivering the appropriate constant voltage. For an FX8k with a TDP of 125W or more, you need a pretty expensive motherboard to make it work as it should, and of course also a pretty powerful PSU. Sometimes, it helps to set "load line calibration" to "extreme" in BIOS, providing of course the mobo and PSU are capable of providing the energy.
Load line calibration is the voltage compensation of voltage droop when the CPU ramps up. The mobo has a functionality that compensates for that, so that the CPU stays at constant high speed and doesn't throttle down. If the load line calibration fails or the power delivery assembly of the mobo or the PSU aren't strong and high quality enough, the CPU will get a voltage drop when ramping up, which will cause the CPU to drop to a lower frequency, which is throttling.
55°C is way too hot for an AMD CPU, that has a junction temp of just over 60°C. In normal operation, an AMD CPU should hover between 28 and 34 °C depending on room temperature, and under load, it should not exceed 45-52 °C. Prime95 will take the CPU to a higher temp (about 55°C) because that's what it's designed to do.
If you get higher temps than that, you've done something wrong, either the TIM, or the cooling solution, or the voltage settings in BIOS.
