I recently bought an FX-8320, and I've been using the stock cooler, assuming that it would meet my standards, I've been monitoring the CPU temperatures via HWMonitor, ever since I felt the top of my case was really hot after gaming for 20 minutes. I've noticed that my CPU has really odd temperatures. I do not know what standards are for CPU temps, but when browsing, it can from time to time go all the way up to 55 degrees, but only for a few seconds, and then it goes back down to 17-35 degrees. It is almost always around 25-40 degrees when browsing, When gaming, its almost impossible for it to be any cooler than 50 degrees, and is very often reaching 60 degrees for a few split seconds. The reason I am concerned about these temperatures, is that I've read, that an FX-8320 is not recommended to be any above 62 degrees, and that it's common to keep it below 55 degrees, the fact that my CPU can reach 55 degrees when browsing, brings me to concern.
I have to admit, I unhooked and lifted my fan for a few seconds, while already having thermal paste preapplied, I do not know if that could have any affect on it.
(all temperatures are measured in celsius)
GPU: Asus GTX 780 Direct CU II
Case: NZXT Lexa S
CPU Cooler: The one that came with my CPU
Edit: I've got an aftermarket cooler on the way, so I'm not stuck with this stock cooler.
