I'm still having huge issues getting my FX-8120 working properly. When ever I get it under full load my processor seems to think it's overheating and slows down to an idle state (1.4GHz). I even went to the extent of buying an aftermarket CPU cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, with added second fan) and it still does it.
I notice my temps hit 53C and then the cpu is throttling down. Seems like an awfully low threshold limit. Is there a way to adjust this, or is it encoded in the CPU?
I've disabled all the power saving features (C1, C6, APM, turbo, and possible more I can't remember). It still throttles. I even tried to manually overclock hoping it would bypass this feature, but no luck again.
After throttling down, it takes about 5 seconds and it kicks back in to full speed at 48C, then it takes about 30 seconds to reach 53C and then throttles down again.
This continues forever. 5 secs idle, 30 secs load, 5 secs idle, 30 secs load, etc...
any possible solutions?
