Apaec Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 try de-salting it, sometimes it can get clogged up in salt. Simply boil a kettle of water (maybe 400ml water), and submerge the motherboard, cleaning it. This should do the job. To dry it just stick it in the microwave which will re-calibrate the device. Then plug it back in and it should be good as new! I recommend doing this quite frequently (maybe once a month) to avoid this situation happening again.

The_Red_Flag Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Well I'll give you some actual advice. Contrary to popular belief, copious amounts of thermal paste decrease the performance of CPU's. Also, are you running any over clocks? Have you cleared the CMOS on your motherboard? Is there adequate air movement in your case? Have you researched online with that specific motherboard to see if it is a defect or something? Is it falsely reporting the temperature? Try some of these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwitchFast Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The fact of the matter is, AMD motherboards have VERY hot chipsets, and for the life of me I have no idea why. I noticed it when I changed out my brother's Gigabyte AMD motherboard, and promptly burnt my finger on a bridge heatsink. I don't really think there's much you can do, it's likely a culmination of genuine heat and a faulty sensor causing it to believe it's overheating.

Try some of these things thanks for posting i am not overclocking, i have set my bios to "power saving" not image of my bios, but mines looks the same, as you can see you can even put it on overheat mode i opened the case so i can look directly in it now, i was thinking about laying my case down so the heat will go up but idk havent researched about my specific motherboard yet, ill do that thanks ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB360 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 get thermal paste, check if fans are working properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwitchFast Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Also people should seriously stop recommending the thermal paste thing, it can void his warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fade Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Make sure the thermal paste on the cpu is only a pea sized drop. Less is more +get hwmoniter and show us what it says Edited May 14, 2015 by Fade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
