Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

Im using Core temp, CPUz, and HWmonitor. All at the same time btw. Now in chrome it's at 10c. Here is a screen shot.

Hmm have had odd readings from CoreTemp and HWMonitor before. I had an AMD system once and one of them (HWMonitor?) said my system was running at 127C. They might just be reading the sensors on the motherboard incorrectly. What does the BIOS say?

I like to use RealTemp but that only works on Intel.

10C seems incredibly cool to me especially since you're using an all-in-one liquid cooling solution. Your cooler will be much better than the stock cooler, no doubt, but idling between 13 and 17C on the stock cooler seems very unlikely to me since most CPUs idle at about 40-50C on the stock cooler (and sometimes even higher!)

Do any AMD users (perhaps those who are into overclocking?) have any good suggestions for accurate CPU temperature monitors for AMD CPUs?

Bios also says between 8-and 15c depending on when I turned on / off the computer

EDIT: also when I put my hand in my computer, it used to feel kinda warm, it's pretty damn cool now..

Is it possible, I bought a VortexHDB Hydro Dynamic Bearing fan to right away replace the stock fan that came with the watercooler. Could that be why it's cooling so well?

OK now it's saying 28c lol

28C seems much more like it. That's still very cool indeed but much more plausible than 10C which was probably your temperature monitors misreading the temperature sensors on your board.

So when my other monitor ( ive been using CoreTemp just downloaded HWmonitor today lol ) was saying 45C when playing a game on overclock it was probably pushing 90 lol... Thus why it always shut off, it has been over heating. My computer has not shut off ever since I installed this new watercooler. So maybe the problem was the overheating lol..

^ Might well have helped, yes.

I only have experience with Intel stock coolers but going by what a lot of AMD users have been saying, the AMD stock coolers are hopeless.

Yeah AMD stock coolers suck. I don't care for Intel's either, but they work I guess.

AMD FX temperatures at idle can be disregarded. They're never accurate and frequently read below room temperature, which isn't possible without some kind of chemical reaction taking place. Load temps seem to be accurate normally, but I just ignore the idle ones. My CPU is bouncing between 14 and 23 degrees Celsius, and room temperature is about 24 Celsius, so I know that's not right.

Now I what will I do about that PSU I ordered last night...

 

[voyagerfan99]

What does a PSU have to do with coolers?

 

[NikonGuy]

What does a PSU have to do with coolers?

Nothing. I said that because I ordered a PSU because I was going to return this watercooler... But now the problem is fixed with the watercooler that I thought was useless, but now I already ordered the PSU lol. NOthing to do with cooling, but related to the same problem I had.

Same with my Athlon X4 860K.. Reads anywhere from 10-25°C at idle..

Well it shut off again... after running for about 6 hours. Longest it has in a while.

Ah I used to have an ASUS P7P55D-E board. It was an awesome board. Got mine used on eBay for about 80 quid in 2012 when I bricked my Foxconn board. Happy days.

I ran both boards with an i5 760 which was also an awesome CPU and very similar to your 750 but ran at a slightly higher stock clock (750 was 2.6GHz and 760 was 2.8GHz I think). I never overclocked my 760 though.

Your rig is looking nice and tidy! Looks like Socket 1156 has served you well! :good:

Haha thanks. Yeah, it's the LE variant of the P7P55D boards. Now, the 4th generation CPUs have more than a 100% improvement over the first generation i5's and i7's, so a good time to upgrade I reckon.

Unless its minus degrees ambient, this is wrong.

You're going to kill it if it keeps doing this. I am still thinking you have a mechanically damaged 24 pin motherboard connector or a faulty psu. Can you try another PSU?

Fancy SLI Oke... I'm a little jealous... What kind of numbers are you getting while gaming?

 

[Okedokey]

BF4, 145% resolution (essentially 4K) ultra settings im getting 80FPS.

 

[87dtna]

How do you get 145% resolution?

 

[Geoff]

What do you mean 145% resolution? I've never seen resolution options in a game measured in percentages.

 

[87dtna]

I've also never seen a monitor able to run higher than it's max resolution lol.

3440x1440 is certainly a high resolution, but it's no where near 4k. 3440x1440 is 4.95 million pixels, 4k is 8.3 million pixels....thats almost double. Though, 145% would make it 7.2 million pixels, but again how does one run higher than max resolution?

Impressive PC none the less, not taking away from that...but just fairly intrigued and skeptical of how one would run 145% max resolution.
