scythe ninja 3 push pull 1900 rpm scythe slipstream fans, case airflow is decent i think.

im getting 67-68c socket temp and 51-52c core temp

and im "only" 4.2ghz @ 1.35v

ambient is around 20-22c i think.

re-applied paste and re-seated cooler, ran prime95 small fft for 10 mins, socket temp got to 65c and core to 48 but stayed at 47.

i think ambient is little bit hotter right now tho.

4200 mhz @ 1.344v

i have an coolermaster k350 elite case, i have my scythe setup 2x 1900 rpm fans push pull, and my rear exhaust fan which is around 1 inch away from the pull fan from the cooler is 1600 rpm, could it be affecting the temps since it cant push the air the 110cfm that the 1900 rpm does push? resulting in the hot air going around it the case..?

edit : 1600 rpm is 88 cfm so its 22 cfm less : that 22 cfm of hot air "stays" in case?

im now 4400 - 1.392v, been running p95 small fft for an hour now, socket temp 74-75c

core temp jumps between 55-57.

i know that its best to keep cores <55 but i will never achieve p95 loads/temperatures on CPU.

should i say, im good to go?

edit : could someone give me an answer to my 1600/1900rpm fan problem above ^.

Thanks. :)

2nd edit: yes i know that the system isnt stable till you run blend +6 hrs, but im happy with this.

Sorry..yeah..you should always have a stronger fan on the exhaust side.Try switching the 1600 to intake.
As for stability on AMD:If it passes 3 IBT runs and 2 Hyper-Pi 32m runs..It's most likely
never going to crash at an inopportune time.
I surely don't have the patience for running prime for hours at a time.
I did once fer some silly Sandy thing..never again.
