My FX-6300 (stock cooler) is on a ASRock Pro 3 Rev 2.0 mobo, no overclock, with Antec Formula 7 thermal paste, and two case fans pulling hot air out.

My temps when i am gaming worry me, with my CPU reporting 60 c or higher according to Core Temp.

Fair Warning: The spoiler contains info pulled from my logging session on Core Temp tonight while playing Star Trek Online for about an hour or so.

I have ordered 2 Corsair Air Series fanshttp://www.corsair.com/us/cpu-cooling-kits/air-series-f... , one for the front of my case to get air flow in, and one for the top, to help pull hot air out, a Corsair H80i Hydro Series Liquid cooler, http://www.corsair.com/us/cpu-cooling-kits/hydro-series..., and finally a tube of Arctic Silver 5 to replace the Antec Formula 7 thermal paste i am using now.

For those who want more info, I am using an Antec One case.

If you've already ordered the H80i, you'll be more than fine once all of that's in there. Your temps aren't too concerning, but you're right there at the edge, and a better cooler will do you some good.

That will help you a lot, those temps are high considering it's not full load. Your temps with the two new fans and cooler will be much lower.

Yeah those temps are surprisingly high but definitely not at the max. Plus you already have a very solid plan in place so I'm not concerned. If your temps are still higher than expected after all that is in place come back
