I put together my computer and booted into bios. It said the amd fx 8350 cpu temperature was 44 and then was going back in forth between 44 and 52! I'm assuming this isn't normal.
Seemed like most forum topics I looked at said it should be something like 30. I'm guessing this probably means I messed up the thermal paste?
I am using the stock heatsink and so I did not apply any myself.
Or could it be something else?


If I do need to reapply it whats the best guid (prefer video) on how to do that. And are there any chain stores that sell it? I'd rather not have to order it off amazon and wait two more days!

(also any good guides on wiring? Mines just seems so messy but not sure what to do!)


Thanks you
 
Solution
1) Stock heatsink

2) what is your case cooling like?

3) Don't mess with the thermal paste under the stock cooler until you get some more.

4) Be concerned with load temperatures.
