I have receive my first build today with no os. (i dont know how to install so im trying to boot it up for experimentations in bios)

my cpu is fx 8320 ( with stock fan at stock speed) btw . i plan to buy an aftermarket cooler sooner.
so when i boot up my pc , my cpu temps rises up to 54 celcius w/o doing anything, i just stayed in the bios for about 3-5 minutes.

is my cpu overheating or what? im panicking cos it cost me about $1000 and just to see it overheat.


here are my other components btw.

gigabyte ga 970a ds3p (I know its not recommended for this cpu but a 990 chipset is far more expensive here. i have on a tight budget so sorry!)
1866 mhz kingston fury
r9 280x vapor x tri-x 3gb
1 tb hdd.
thermaltake 700W ( i know this is not a reputable brand but its what is cheap in my country. but i will change it in the long run.)

i have only 1 intake fan and no exhaust btw.

Sometimes in the BIOS the CPU runs at full, it is best to use some monitoring software such as HWMonitor or CPU temp and check when playing a game or browsing the web what the temperature is like. 54 is safe, it is under the TJ Max of that specific CPU.

I would recommend getting an Exhaust fan ASAP as you need hot air from the GPU and other components to be drafted out of your case.
