New built computer cpu overheating

[fenyal]

*edited* thanks to debs for checking my work. i misread the info on power consumption.

7770 = Minimum of a 450 Watt power supply.
7770 draws 100 watts at full load.
the processor pulls 100 watts.

anyway that makes no difference on a hot cpu. my phenom ii x6 1045t is a 95 watt and likes hanging around 40c at idle on a stock cooler. considering there is no cooler in the listings i'm going to have to assume you are on a stock cooler and thus in a 75 degree room, i could see 40C ish as being normal. my processor is running at 2.7 ghz, where yours is 3.4 ghz that boosts to 4 ghz. it's going to give off some heat.

rule of thumb for me is 65c is crash temperature.

by the way i see that your fan was only at 69% during the 82C, that can be an issue. stock coolers are not good coolers so i would recommend putting your cpu fan speed on 100% and see where it takes you. even with 100% don't expect anything less than 40c.

Rise and fall temp in a second isn´t wierd thing, senzors are in the silicon so they are very fast.

Have you got a CPU fan inserted in the "CPU fan" connector in the motherboard? Upgrade board to the latest BIOS. Run CPU burn tool Prime95 -64bit check temperatures and also touch the bottom of the heatsink if isn´t too hot. Have you got latest version CPUID monitor tool? Old version may misread sensor´s output.

Download 64bit version, run the program, click options -> torture test -> choose in plase large FTTs (max heat.. then wait and read the temperatures.

Maybe you have the hungry CPU, every piece of silicon is a different and some CPUs are mory power hungry then the others. Box CPU has quite small heat sink and if you buy better CPU cooler temperatures will go down.

I have an after market cooler already 2 intake 2 exhaust, a manual control on my cpu fan that I can use to make it 100% all the time. It literally just does nothing for my temps. Im done messing with this its been way to long. I am sending this back and going with an Intel cpu and motherboard Thanks for the help everyone.

i hope intel works out for you. never had an issue with them.
