Anyone have any issues with this chip running a little hot? Performance is pretty good, but the idle seems to sit around 35-40 with load up to 62 C

Ya, seems to be standard for this chip I purchased a larger heatsink for it as well as changed fan speeds to keep it a little lower. Doesn't change the temp much but works well for extended use.

I run mid tower has 4 5 inch cooling fan's runs in specs l don't overclock mem is 1600

You're definitely right! I think the chip outputs too much heat. What I did is undervolted the cpu from the BIOS and also disabled the AMD Turbo Technology, and now it's so much cooler and quieter. Temp on idle around 30-35 load 50-55. Lowest degree was 25. That's insane with the stock fan!

Hi Mr. James. I just got home to check out your predicament, and I can say that I arrived at close to the same conclusion. I set my fan to manually run at max and there is a visual disconnect though the Precision X HUD. The meter says my fan is running at max, but the digital readout on PX says it's only at 80%. That's not exactly what you're reading (75%)...but it looks like the same issue. For comparison sake I took the other fan software and did the same thing to see if I noticed the same issue.... and I did. For some reason all the Fan software I use say the max is 80%. What I found out after looking into it more was that EVGA apparently puts a limit on the max speed you can run their fans using external controllers. I do not know if the card itself will push the fans above 80%, but it seems that when using other software, that is the max. ...even so. Whether your fan is running at a true 75% top speed or the actual max speed, I find that my fan on max keeps things cooled to about 40-44c...which is well below maximum temps. Hope that helps! (on a side note, I've read that you want to keep these cards at 70c or cooler in order not to lose any clock speed. Supposedly, once they hit 70c the card throttles back the clock until temps are below 70)

The cooling on this card is sub-par. Runs at around 68c-81c It runs fairly hot for its performance. Still a good bang for your buck.

I will say that I OC'd this cpu to 3.9Ghz and it runs at 63°c with stock cooler. I think it's rated up to 90°c but I wouldn't run it that hot. Hope this helps out a bit.

I'm using the stock fan with an i7-4770. No heat problems, and it's pretty quiet.

No problems with over heating. I've been playing a couple games (dirt 3 maxed, skyrim medium - high, borderlands high, assassins creed 3 medium high) all with little to no lag. And I've seen 65*C on rare occasions after a couple hours . Idk about it overclocking or how it works. Hope this helps

I run my i7 and 780ti just fine. 60w idle and about 360w load? I haven't measured in awhile

hydro idles at 14c never goes over 40c at full load I am using it for my 8150 bulldozer

Yes! i own two of the v2 990fxa-GD80. i got them for mining scrypt and then took one of the boards for a new gaming rig. the 220watt cpus r crazy hot but they work just fine in the mobo. I am running the quad core 4.7ghz amd cpu on that mobo. The only problem is how much heat that thing gens

A non liquid or gel cooled CPU cooler can only cool the CPU to as cool as the room its in. And maybe a few degrees cooler. How hot is your house? And btw... 70-80 under load itsnt that bad assuming your house is around 70-75. Start worrying when you hit 90 at Max load. If you cool the room its in and continue to have issues or unsatisfactory temps then get your motherboard tested. (I've had this issue and once it was the MB reporting faulse temps. Also... try a different program for monitoring your temps while under load. And only run one at a time.)

Ive noticed mine running quite a bit hotter, I think its because the system is able to run faster, so it takes a little more power to the processor. I have compared power specs of the drives, and they are VERY similar, so its not a problem there. I can get a thermometer and compare temps, I have a stock one I use also, so I can run them side by side, and take temps from both to see how they compare. I have ran it quite a bit with the new drive, it IS noticeably faster, and I haven't had any issues yet with stability or crashes.

I've tried everything to get it working right and nothing. I have a Trinity and a Richland and have the same problem with both. CoreTemp reads 8C on idle, but the Bios reads the right temp. Two of my friends have APU's and have the same problem. We are thinking 2 things AMD did something so they we not read right on third party programs (It doesn't work even on their own software either) or none of the programs have been updated for the APU's. I tried to Google a answer for you, but could not fine one.

No problems here. Running it with a 4790K on an MSI Gaming 7 LGA1150 systemboard. Be sure and enable XMP in your BIOS to get the full memory speed.

I've this card for about 9 months mounted in a mini ITX case, and the temperature holds pretty steady at 61 degrees C. No problems so far.

I have no experience with that cpu. I'm running the intel 4770 k at 4.2 ghz I have it looped through an asus maximus iv formula mobo so it's pushing twice the route that it is designed for. benchmark is 984 at 86 degress Celsius. I think the only better option is the koolance stand alone unit but it's pricey

I would recommend to update your bios, I just did that and now my Memory chip worked, GREAT! feels like a brand new Laptop!
