Story; My computer always idles high (look at the pictures I have CPUID HWMonitor screenshots included) I'm most worried about my graphics card but it's my whole PC that is over-hot. On average my gfx card runs at 62 - 65 C (149 F) and my motherboard(or whatever TMPIN2 is?) at 55 - 70 C. We have reapplied paste to the processor before so it's not stock and I had an IT friend do it. The case is too small but that can't be the reason, what the hell do I do. Also last night randomly I heard my computer rev up like a jet engine (first time) while I was browsing reddit and looked at my gfx card hit 77 C (170F) so I opened the case, put the room fan on for like 20 seconds as it cooled down to average, then turned it off and went to sleep.
Too be honest I don't have much money but if I have to I will sell stuff to be able to pay and fix this mess, I spend 24/7 on my PC and can't handle it anymore.
it's most likely that motherboard. the 8350 is a POWER hungry chip. the 8350 is meant for the 990FX chipset not the 760G chipset. the 8350 needs a good solid motherboard that has a moderately great phase delivery. honestly, i'm surprised that motherboard hasn't caught fire yet.
the cheapest durable motherboard you can get is this below
well what could cause the 970 to be that fairly high is Airflow into the PC. I'm more fearful of the motherboard. i can't see them properly from the case but you definitely need more airflow. add some more fans to the PC and clean out some of the dust.
I've had the PC for over a year, the PSU and Graphics card are new to the system (since December), my friend suggests a new case, everyone says it's something else basically stating I need a whole new computer, it gets me so aggravated, I just want my PC to run right, you know?
Not sure if you're serious or not, I mean it runs fine but i'm scared it's just going to turn off and never turn back on one of these days or something.
Definitely consider a new case (if you can't afford one, buy more fans for the PC and clean out ALL the dust) [this will solve your GPU heat problem.]
a absolute must. get a 990FX motherboard. you don't have to get one now, but defnitely get one sometime in the future. cause your PC will have a short life span.
Anyway some good air flow will go a long way and a half way decent CPU cool will help immeasurably. Something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo for a base line.
Further I agree with the motherboard concerns, but highest and cheapest on the list is air flow and CPU cooling for me. After that you can look at motherboards.
I mean the processor only runs at around 39 idle so it's not that bad I guess? So I should stick to getting a new case and maybe sell my soul for some watercooling?
It's whatever the hell TMPIN2 is and my gfx card that runs at 60.
