I heard that Stock heatsink of that processor is good enough for decent overclocks.As for aftermarket coolers, you can go for Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for around 2.5k which is a great budget air cooler and comes within your budget.

Get Deepcool Iceblade pro CPU cooler. It is available around 2.8K in theitwares.com. With that, you can overclock your processor to 4.7 to 4.9 GHz stable.

Got CM hyper 212 evo and after installing the heatsink that american trends show CPU FAN Error and when I press F1 the windows boot normally how to fix cpu fan error?

Have you installed the heatsink correctly?Which motherboard do you have?Make sure the fan is rotating freely and isn't being obstructed in any way.

Sorry for the off topic...
My AMD FX 8320 is not passing Prim95 even when not overclocked and it freezes and stays in that way until I restart my Rig. What might be the problem guys?
Is it normal to freeze when running Prime95?
By the way I am using Corsair H60 as my cooler... Do I have to reseat my cooler by using any TIM like Artic Silver? I am getting temps of 49c even when not overclocked...

^^ Hmm, something must be wrong ... load default settings in bios and post the load temps - if possible create a new thread.

make sure you connected the fan on the cpu fan header of the motherboard.

My temp is also changing per sec it goes 25C and jumps to 36C again 25C help me :(

Should I call cooler master support?

25c-36c are cool temps even for idle state ... when temp the jumps occurs keep a close eye on the task manager to see if there's any app which is hogging cpu resource.

But when I'm playing nfs most wanted it jumps over 60 and above

My other components are also at high temp,ventilation problem?

Tell me something, where does the heatsink fan point? Is it towards an opening in the cabinet? My temps with the same processor and fan are at 20-24 degrees when im browsing. It doesn't cross 35 degrees when I'm playing DOTA 2.

provide us with more details like :

1. No of fans inside of the cabinet.
2. Fan orientation [ same goes for the cooler and rad. fa if you are using WC ] .. anyway, which CM cooler do you have ?
3. TiM used ?
4. Cpu vcore and whether the cpu is OCed or not ?

Having cooler master hyper 212 evo
Cpu is not overclocked
And total number of fans are 2 including heatsink
And today I saw in bios cpu temp around 44c and tim is applied

Someone help me please :(

Only a single cabinet fan is not enough .. install at-least 3-4 cabinet fans.

BTW, which cabinet do you have ?

What's the deal with it. It is completely normal. :|

Completely normal.

Temperature shown in BIOS can be higher than in the OS. 44 C is normal.

My A8-3870K also shows the same in BIOS. Am I bothered? No.

Just go to Windows, start 7-zip benchmark and observe full load temperature. If the full load temperature is hitting 70-80 consistently, only then you have a problem. Stop bothering about idle temperatures. :)

Thanks I will run prime95 but I have to do some clean wiring but how to fix cpu_fan error on start-up?

Is the CPU Fan error related to low speed? If yes, then I also faced it when I installed CM Hyper 212 Evo in my i5-2500K + Asus P8Z68 Deluxe configuration.

Nothing really to worry about. The stock cooler ran at high rpm speed even at low temperatures. Hyper 212 Evo's fan used to run at low speed because it didn't think that the temperature is high enough for it to start running faster.

You can simply get rid of it by decreasing the threshold in your BIOS. In my case, it was set to 800 rpm when the stock cooler was there. I decreased it to 600 rpm and the message went away.

If the error is not related to low speed, then I don't know. You should also tell the model number of your motherboard.

Go into UEFI. There' yu'll find a setting like 'minimum cpu fan speed" or "cpu fan under threshold". Lower that value till the error disappears.

Are you sure that this thing will not harm anything?

No.

It is just a value. If rpm is less than this value, only then the message appears.

Decrease it by 200, you'll be fine.

Just disable Cpu Q fan control setting. Make sure you connected the fan on the cpu fan header of the mobo.

then either the fan's PWM controller or M/Bs cpu fan sensor must be causing the issue .. try with the stock cooler first, if the the issue goes away fine or you will need to send the board for RMA .
