fx-8350 temperatures too high!!! please help!!

kevin25_john · Dec 28, 2013

My rig :-
Cpu fx-8350 (@ stock) with no after market cooler.
Gpu Asus Radeon r9 280x v2 (@ stock)
corsair vengeance 8gb ram
Psu - corsair cx600

Yesterday while playing battlefield 4 my cpu temperatures wer around 79℃ and my gpu temperatures were around 74℃.
Are these too high? :??:

Im getting worried looking at these temperatures.
Should I consider buying an aftermarket cooler? And if yes then which one?

your gpu temps are fine, with gpu the high 80s are where you should be concerned.
and your cpu stock cooler is the problem, i highly recommend buying the cooler master 212 evo, its a cheap, yet, very effective cooler.

Yes, 79℃ is way too high for a fx-8350, the max "safe" temperature for a 8350 is 60℃, you should consider getting at least a Cooler master hyper 212

kevin25_john · Dec 28, 2013

Okay!!!
But will the cm hyper 212 fit in my case.? My case is cooler master 431 elite plus.
And will it block the ram slot?

heisnburg · Dec 28, 2013

yes, it should fit in the case, and it wont block any RAM slots, because, you can move the fan to either side of the heatsink

Says the 212 will fit right on the Newegg description. If you have tall heatsinks just populate the 2nd and 4th RAM slots, no prob.

On another note, look up a bulldozer/piledriver oc'ing guide. If you learn to manually clock and set your voltages it will dramatically help with temperatures. Cheers.

Thanks....

Any other cooler which is more effective and will stay for long.?
Or the hyper 212 the best one?
Coz once I get a cooler I dont intend to change it atleast for 2 years...

Most bang for buck cooler really. If you plan to spend more than $50, you get into diminishing returns.

If you don't want to fiddle too much with your CPU, 212 no regrets.

kevin25_john · Dec 28, 2013

Okay!!!
Thanks a lot.
I'll get the hyper 212....

Aside from a better cpu cooler (which is a very good idea) it would be wise to ensure you are good proper case airflow as well. I never realized the importance of this early on until my Phenom 965 build seemes to constantly overheat with the stock CPU cooler. After adding 2 120mm fans and balancing intake/exhaust my cpu temps dropped dramatically. Especially if you have a GFX card tdumping heat into the case it may be something to look into. Good Luck!

kevin25_john · Dec 28, 2013

I have 2 x 120mm intake fans and 2 x 120 mm exhaust. Still the temperatures are the same...

kevin25_john :

If your box is in a cubby in a piece of furniture move it out into the free air, the fans have to be able to get fresh air.
