So I recently bought a FX-8350.

Have a Evo 212, with the thermal paste it comes with. Corsair 200r, 1 input fan, 1 exhaust.

My IDLE temps are around 35c. Running BF4 it goes up to around 50c, and the case fans ramp up and become quite loud as expected.

I ran Prime95 test, and within 10minutes two cores stopped. The temp sat at 60/62c. Nothing I'd imagine was majorly hot.

I just wondered why those two cores dropped out?

Must thank you! Now idle at around 25c, and it goes up to around 40c gaming. With Prime95 I hit around 55.

In all about 10c drops in temps by resitting and using MX-4! I'm much happier and have better peace of mind to push my system now.

Thanks.
