my fx 8320 runs at about 50 C while running netflix and about 70 C when running games like warframe on ultra.
curious to what i should do to help the temperature.

Get an aftermarket cooler.

Just make sure it will fit in your case.

Don't worry, I would have suggested the 212 EVO as well. I actually used it for about 8 months before I built my waterloop. And SR-71 and I have crossed paths often enough on here and we see eye to eye on just about everything =]
