AMD FX8350, Bonkers Tempature?

[Rogster]

Don't know if anyone has a reason for this but im confused, my previous setup before lcs was a NZXT Kraken X60 push config, I managed to overclock it to 4.8 with a guide from rog forums never went above 48c, now however that I have gone to a full custom loop, the temps idle at 36c but when stress testing they go up to 60c in just a few seconds & continue to climb I stop the test here as im not tempting fate, don't suppose any has got an idea as to why it would do such a thing?

my current trouble shooting steps, pulling the block out & re-pasting it with Mx4 no change, upping the pump speed no change?!

I tried to make a video but its erm a bit pants... 1080p it to see clearly

is the cooling-unit mounted right so it sits evenly on the cpu?
is the system free of bubbles especially in the cooling-unit and the pump?

as far as I can tell yes, I have pulled it up to check the past & it was even, screwed it back down & even measured the distance from the top of the mounting posts to the thumb nut to make sure they are all the same, no bubbles as far as I can see have shaken the living hell out of the rig to get the bubbles out & flicked all the tubes haha

only thing that else comes to my mind is that
a.) the pump isn't able to move enough cooling due to defect
or
b.) there is something inside your loop that doesn't belong there and heavly restricts the flow

this it was is confusing me, the r9 290 I have in the loop is immediately after the cpu, that refused to go over 52c under a stress test using furmark for 15minutes, could it be the jet plate? I have the ek supreme hf nickel thing.

 

[Jinxxter]

if the r9 stays at those temps it leaves only the jet plate as you suspect...
at least in my opinion...
the coolant-flow seems to be ok since my corsair h110 keeps my r9 290x at ~50°C when folding...
only thing i can think of is that it's broken internally... elsewise i can't explain those temps since in idle they seem to be fine...

 

[Rogster]

cheers for the advice, witch plate would you recommend?
I currently have small line full line small line.

 

[Jinxxter]

I'd try the one in the middle since it has the most clearance for the coolant to flow through.

I wouldnt take it apart yet - theres probably air in your system or something.

Id also make sure your CPU volts are not on auto etc etc etc. Normal stuff the check with for a beginner (read n00000b)

Thank you for your feedback, I have found the source of the issue, there was rather a lot of GUNGE in my res teach me for being gentle when flushing the rad! so I cleaned it all. attached a hose to the outside tap & blasted the rad clean..

EWW! temps now sit at 49c when oc'ing

Cheers

Et voila... Nice to see...

Is that Asus software you are using to check temps? Uninstall it, Use HWmonitor. Asus suite is sporadic and inaccurate.

Although I am glad you have found the source.

Ignore that CPU Temp in the Asus UI, That temp is for the socket.

Get HWMonitor and focus your attention to the Package temp. The max temp you'll want on that is 61c as this is the actual core temp.

You won't be able to monitor idle temps reliably either as AMD has switched to using an algorithm to calculating temps and anything below 36 - 38 is highly erratic.

thank you for the advice mate

Best program for monitoring temps for any AMD cpu is their own AMD overdrive software.
