I am unable to properly answer your question. Though I want to assure you, that someone has at least read it. You have a good chance of someone giving a better answer than this later. The right person has yet to come along. I wish I could be of more help.

BTW, to the forums.

What program are you using to read your temps?

AMD sensors are less accurate the lower the temps. This is why you are seeing below ambient temps.

First i downloaded the HWmonitor and now i have AIDA64 it read it in both of them it was was like shooting to 206c and thank you for the welcoming

Mmmh what about RealTemp? 206° C has to be a misreading, otherwise you wouldnt be able to use that PC anymore

 

[jberg01]

Before Prime 95



After Prime 95

And real temp wont let me download it cause it says my cpu inst supported

Can you give us your Mobo make and model?

Msi 760GM-P23 FX

Ok that's the first problem. The MSI boards and FX's have been very buggy. Secondly that board is way underpowered for that CPU.
Here's a link from MSI forum turns out this persons board was bad.
My advice would be to see if you can exchange it for a better board. You will have a much happier FX experience if you do.

 

[jberg01]

well im pretty it is outside of my return and could be that be the reason for the jump in temps? and thanks for all the advise

 

[Johan45]

In the other post they figured that the CPU socket had issues. It should have a 3 year warranty. Contact MSI and see about an RMA

 

[jberg01]

so i should just try and send it back and say under a stress test it was getting temps in the 200's and have them exchange it for a new one or what?

 

[Johan45]

There will be a process for the RMA involving some problem solving etc. But you really should have a board with working sensors. So yes I'd see if they'll replace it. Then I'd sell it and get something with more beef to it that'll handle the 6300 properly.

 

[jberg01]

again thank you so much for you help and would you have any mind for cheap that will do the job?

 

[Johan45]

That's just it though . A decent board for an FX is not going to be cheap. Have a read through this thread. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=727263

another thing is when im it in battlefield 3 and it goes way up there it will like lag and everything and thought on that?

 

[Johan45]

My best guess is heat and VRM throttling the CPU. Try opening up your case.

 

[jberg01]

i have tried reseating the h60 and made sure everything was good and i have tried opening and nothing happens its like something is telling it 200 and its really not and laging my game but its only in game.

 

[Johan45]

Your VRM is overheating. Try putting a fan in there pointed right at the power circuit.
