Just trying to see if my cpu cooler is working properly compared to the stock cooler.
Does anyone know the idle temperature of fx 8350 with stock cooler?

Depends on application of thermal paste, ambient room temperature, ventilation, airflow, material of your case, your motherboard, heat output of your GPU, number of case fans, arrangement of case fans, power of case fans, voltage, etc. Give me all of those things, or just tell me what the current temperature is and I can help you from there. Idle temperatures vary greatly, but they don't actually matter, only your maximum temperatures do. That's why when overclocking, you have to run a stress test like Prime95 (and to check for stability), and a monitor program. There's not much point in watching idle temperatures, that's like asking how many miles per gallon you'll get on a car that isn't moving.

Oh thats easy. Just consider average amount of thermal paste, average ambient room temperature, average ventilation efficiency, average airflow, the usual material of computer cases, an ordinary motherboard, 1 case fan, case fan at the back, average power for the case fan, average voltage and gtx 760 twin frozr oc edition.

So whats the usual idle temperature?

You can see my build in my signature, and i have my 8320 running at 8350 speeds so it should be pretty darn close, with my CM Hyper 212+ it idles around 33 C with my fan profile being very conservative at lower temps.

Yeah I'm not going to tell you what I think your idle temperature SHOULD be. I can walk you through figuring that out, though. Because most computers are prebuilt, meaning they have fairly poor applications of thermal paste. India which has very high temperatures has a high population, also contributing to the average. Many cases only have one 80mm fan, and are made of very poor material. Most motherboard are not meant for performance and will not give you good temperatures. So what I'm saying here is you need to give me a lot of specific information that will be a massive waste of time, or turn on one program that takes about 10 seconds to download and install. Your choice.
