Hi guys ! I built my first rig yesterday. (felt awesome to get it work for at the first try!) Everything works fine except im worried about my temps under load. :( Im new to computer building (like i said, this was my first build EVER) and i dont know is it my cable management or cpu cooler or what, but i think im running too hot on the cpu and maybe even mobo under load? Should i tweak the cpu down a bit? Disable the turbo mode option? Or is the only way to just wait till i get a aftermarket cooler? Thinking about buying the CM Hyper 212 EVO or a Noctua cooler. Give any suggestions on how to get my temps down ! Down below are my specs and temps in idle and under load using HWMonitor.

Specs:
Processor: AMD FX-8350 w/ Stock cooler
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 OC 2GB
MOBO: Gigabyte 990XA-UD3
Case: Aerocool VS-92 with 3 case fans (1 top, 1 front, 1 rear)

Temperatures on idle:

And under load my cpu gets to like 60 degrees celsius.

Suggestions?

Dear,

First of all your CPU's temps are normal. You are worried needlessly.

Second your post is saying best budget CPU Cooler, which is definitely Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212

I mostly recommend Noctua NH-14D/NH-U14S but they are expensive as compared to CM Evo 212.

Go for Evo 212 if on budget otherwise get Noctua.

Good Luck

Thanks for the fast response again EasyLover! :p Are you sure my temps are normal? Because today when i played Insurgency, my cooler started to run really fast and loud, so i guess the temps went too high? And i got so scared that it would overheat and start causing problems, so i quit the game :D Im just worried that if they run so high all the time, it will start to cause problems :( As i mentioned on the post, that this is my first build, so the cable management in the case and cooler/fan installations could be bad too and in that matter, everything could be wrong :D So dont close out any possible options ;)

My reply was based on your posted temps. Did you read the temps when CPU fan started running fast? If so pl provide those temps. It could very well be faulty fan. Nonetheless we need to consider every possibility.

Well, now i set it in a way that when it hits 65 celsius my fans will go to 100% and will cool the cpu and after the cpu is cooled down, they will return back to the normal rpm. Now it hits max 65 and no degree more, because the fans cool it down pretty fast. Will this work until i get my Hyper 212 EVO?

Yes, but definitely under tab. Running the fan at 100% definitely means CPU is getting heat up too much but 65% under load is not alarming. Get Evo 212 ASAP
