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.

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..

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.

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.

Unless its minus degrees ambient, this is wrong.


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

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?

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.

145% downscaled as a form of AA.

On Nvidia (idk about AMD) you can force the card to process at a higher resolution, but display a lower resolution, which will improve image sharpness

I know.. I'm still trying shit out on this damn computer, it is not shutting off nearly as much but it still does, it's pissing me off. I did not add new thermal paste to the cpu as it still had it on there. When gaming max settings the temps didnt go above 46C, after that it had shut off. Possibly still overheating and my monitor is not telling the truth? I'm thinking because it's shutting off so much less that it was over heating and I need to add more thermal paste...?

Are those two white fans RAM coolers? I've seen something like that once before.

Aastii, I know some games have a form of supersampling like this. Guild Wars 2 has it and it works on AMD cards, but kills performance for obvious reasons.

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

Yes. At 2666MHz and 1.65V they heat up nicely.

Rebuilt my system and dusted it for my guide. Managed to do all of my cable management using one zip ties. It's in the drive cage to hold the GPU cables back.

Also ripped out all the black rubber grommets. They instantly covered my hands in what looked like soot. They were just disintegrating. Still looks good and clean without them.
