FX-8150 with its own water cooling kit

[Xarick]

Does anyone have this CPU with its own water cooling kit made by Asetek?

I am looking to get this kit to work as silent as possible under full load but without damaging or lowering CPU lifetime span. Also, I'm not overclocking it, it's running at stock with all its power states and features turned on, including turbo up to 4200 MHz.

I'm using HWiNFO64 to monitorize temperatures and Prime95 to full load it, using Blend. The motherboard is an Asus Crosshair V Formula and HWiNFO detects a bunchload of sensors, but I suppose the ones that matter come from the CPU itself and from the ITE IT8721F.

There's also the liquid temperature and fans speed from the kit itself, and those are what I'm configuring in order to get the fans silent. I use AMD ChillControl V program for these.

Even the Silent mode presets from BIOS or ChillControl are noisy. Also have set the EPU and Maximum Power Saving Mode in BIOS, which, I assume, lowers some voltages while still keeping the same CPU functionality. Lower voltage should help with temperatures, I say.

So, I assume there's 3 important temperatures I should be aware of:

- Liquid temperature (from water kit sensor)
- CPU Socket temperature (from ITE MB sensor)
- CPU temperature (from CPU sensor)

So to resume, at idle on windows desktop, what temperatures should I be getting for each sensor? And what temperatures for maximum load?

The fans become really noisy when they go past 1500 RPM. The default ChillControl settings are 40ºC in fan ramp start temp, and 50ºC in full fan speed temp. Full speed is 2500 RPM and sounds like some vacuum. Something below 1500 RPM is what I was trying to aim for.

My results with 36ºC fan ramp start temp to 61ºC full fan speed temp:

- Liquid idle / load: 41.1ºC / 48.0ºC
- Socket idle / load: 43.0ºC / 61.0ºC
- CPU idle / load: 19.9ºC / 45.0ºC
- Fans idle / load: 700 RPM average / 1440 RPM average

What do you think?

Hmm, guess no one understands my request or I made the topic too complicated.

What would be the normal temperatures for a FX-8150 WC version at stock, being water cooled? At idle, then at full load?

I've tried to find this information on the web but it's rare to find it for someone who runs it at stock. All I can find is overclocked results, which doesn't interest me, or air cooled ones.

This isn't exactly a free helpdesk where everybody has everything and loses time just to make people happy.

I would keep in mind that the site is about collecting.

I'd try to go to some other forum, as if you are not getting an answer "fast" enough for you propbably means that no other user here has that setup, never wondered? Next time talk polite, a bit of bad manners in your remarks on how "difficult" was the question may not be a good inspiration to get help.

Very bad presentation.

It's not really feasible to give temperatures for three scenarios when there are many more variables to take into consideration. First, the motherboard sensor isn't measuring socket temperature, it's general board temperature. Second, something looks funny if your CPU idle is 19c and liquid idle is 42c. It'd be hard to have a CPU that's colder than the liquid that's cooling it.


And lastly, it's not that the question is "too complicated", it's that I (or most people) generally don't care to answer vague questions that people don't ask properly, or aren't polite when asking, especially from "Guest" or someone that joined yesterday with 1 post.

Sorry, english is not my main language.

This is one of the best forums I could find, as it doesn't require registration. All others require that and there's no point to register just for 1 question. I have posted here for some time already anyway.

I think I had posted in the correct section and I do visit this site for news very regularly.

Why do you hate me already?

I think it's just a misunderstaning.

Have you tried using realtemp for monitoring CPU temps?? it pretty much ignores all the other sensors and uses the ones right on the CPU die itself.. As long as you're staying under 70 C at full load, the CPU should live a long healthy and stable life.. Keep in mind it is a 125W TDP CPU IIRC, so it's not going to run under 50 C at full load unless you get some serious air moving across a large heatsink.. As i recall the stock AMD liquid cooler doesn't have that large of a radiator, so i find your temps believable..

Also your case ventilation and ambient room temp have a role to play in CPU operating temp, if the room is 5C hotter, the CPU will be too, nothing you can do to change that unless you change the room temp..
