Just bought the Corsair H110, running FX-8320, 8GB ram, I am OC to 4.4ghz. My temp @ idle is 27*c. I have been running Prime95 now for 2 hours and my temp is stable @ 52*c. I'm not really familiar with temps and what is a safe zone etc. Are these temps good? If not how should I fix this etc?

Yes, your system work just fine, great temp, nothing to worry, but if you want lower temp,
My question would be have you set-up push/pull configuration on the cooler, should help a bit more.
what fan then if you have set-up, push/pull configuration, i recommend high static pressure(>1) fan with decent CFM, it would help.

Your temps are pretty low. Looks like a good setup to me.
Though Im not to sure about the the AMD chips, what their thermal ceiling is.
How long did you run Prim95? If thats the hottest it gets after running for 20-30mins. Then it probably won't ever get hotter than that. 80C is when Core Temp numbers turn yellow to warn the chip is getting hot, over 85C and I would stop what I'm doing. At least that what it does for my Haswell i5.

I have 9 case fans lol but control the speeds on 6 with the InWin GRone built in fan controller. I'm using the 2 fans that came with the cooler but don't really have enough room to add more unless I mod the case.

Running Prime95 for a little over 2 hours now. It hasn't moved since I hit 52*c.

I am only running 2 fans pulling, I want to run a push/pull combo but I think I can only do that by modding the case. There's room for a 360 rad but not enough coverage underneath for another set of fans. I don't have room because of my mobo. And the top has a hotswap bay so I can't really remove the cover of the case. Maybe with a thin 140mm fan I could, but I don't even know if they make those.. (?)
 


Your load temperature is well inside of 60c so don't worry about it, you're fine.

Running regular programs won't get you anywhere near 52c but P95 will, you're good!

Carry On! :)

Yea I just bought this case, I love it so far! So I will just live with this setup as is. Maybe until I mod the top.
