I have an AMD fx-6300. Its currently at stock settings and at idle it hovers around 45 to 50 degrees Celsius. I have a CoolerMaster hyper 101a. Is this average for my CPU temp? I am new to PC building and I was just wondering if the cooler I have is enough.

ps: I dont know if i can post a picture of my setup on here, to give anyone an idea of what im working with.

No that all I need just googled case and max cooler height is 163mm the coolermaster evo 212 will fit but if you on a budget the coolermaster t2 blizzard will also do good but jot much better than your current cooler and like I said putting in extra fans only will hive max 5-6c cooling. If want to then I suggest 4 120mm fans (your case does support them) 1 on side panel, 1 rear exhaust, 1 top exhaust nearer to front, and one bottom inside case should be perfect for your case. Please let me know how it goes and please dont forget to choose best solution thank you

You cpu TDP is 95w and cooler is 75w your cooler is a bit weak in my opinion try getting a better cooler atleast a coolermaster evo 212 and what case do you have? Does it have nice airflow? Whats the max cooler height on you case? Btw I also recently read about 2 hours of papers and tests on case fans and I got upto 5c with 4 nicley placed 120mm fans... place choose best solution if solved

I have a Coolermaster elite 430 for my case. It should have plenty of airflow, I have all my wires tied down neatly for maximum airflow. As for the max cooler size im not sure.

Be sure to check the direction of airflow on the fans, there should be a arrow on the side of the fan showing direction make sure the blow outward for the exhausts and in for the other 2 intake at the side panel and bottom let me know if you need any more help...
