AMD 8350 Stock cooling issues

DarknessNacho · Jul 21, 2013

Hello everyone! I recently bought an gaming pc with the AMD fx 8350 CPU and stock cooling, but the stock cooler gets very noisy and doesnt hold the CPU temperatures below 40 degrees C. When I am gaming it goes up to 50 + degrees C. I don't have a proper temperature program, but I think its possible. So I was wondering if anyone knows some good AMD fx 8350 coolers, that can keep the CPU temperature below 35 degrees when gaming! It needs to be a cooler around 20 too 30 euros. Thanks!

well, it's pretty simple for a 8350 with a stock cooler to go upto 50C,u should worry when it's above68-70C. but if u rae so temp conscious then get a third party cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.
Here's a thread similar to your's,it should help u somewhat:

would a stock cooler from the 8350 be okay? I mean, atleast for a while, my tight budget is almost at the peak without an aftermarket heatsink so i'd have to rough it out for a week or two

I think a week or two is duable.

i find it rediculous that amd has a stock fan that lets temps get up that high on STOCK CLOCKS. i mean ffs its made for stock speeds and cant even get the job done

Well it's just because their CPUs gets hot, and with that temp there isn't any risks.

well it will do good(the stock cooler) if u aren't doing heavy gaming and if u have a decent psu. save money and get the aftermarket cooler after few days..

If not overclocking or in a hot room (over 80F) the stock cooler works just fine for heavy gaming. It will require a good case-going old or too cheap here will hurt big time.

An 8350 will not have computational errors till 68C+(depending on system quality and settings), thermal shutdown is over 80C. If you are only getting 50 while gaming, you are either in a non CPU intensive game, or are looking at the wrong place to determine the temp. Don't use the per core temps-they are almost always wrong. HWMonitor (or Hardware Monitor) by CPUID is what a lot of review sites use for CPU temps. Use the CPU temp under the motherboard section. This program is free (I found it on Cnet)

Go find Prime95, run the max temp test (middle option) for half an hour, and if you don't have errors then your stock cooler is more than sufficient for your case, and unless you plan to overclock DO NOT NEED TO BUY ONE. Prime95 forces it to 100% load for everyone-apples to apples-it is also free. expected temp range on 8350/stock cooler with good case @ 71F/21F: idle-27 to 30C, prime95 100% load for 30 minutes- about 64C. I used a CM HAF XB case with all fans installed for those numbers.

Don't go by a gaming temp: that is utterly useless. Tomb Raider will only get me to 39C (I have a 8350/stock cooler) and the Sims3 gets up to 51C, GTA4: 55C. 35C while gaming is going to be unrealistic for many games-and not for 20-30 euros. Small self contained water cooling options are available for about 60USD. Water cooling options got much better and less of a hassle in the last few years, so you may find something even better for less.
