Hello. I've had an AMD FX-8350 that I've had for a good six months now, after 'replacing' my AMD FX-4350. (Putting it in my friend's build.)
I swapped out the Corsair 140MM Radiator Fan for an NZXT AF140MM fan, and it's popped up +10C at idle. I use it as exhaust, though I used the Corsair like...it pushed cool air from the room into the case. Still though, when I had the Corsair fan attached to the radiator (as an exhaust!), it never got this warm. It's idling at 43 - 44C and won't go down. I have it mildly overclocked to 4.3GHz. I noticed my CPU started getting warm on my other screen, as high as 60C when playing Watch Dogs, which I just got. I've never had it get this high, even when playing similarly intense games, like Crysis 3/Metro. It's never really budged over 48C, even at 4.7GHz with prime95 FFT test on.
So, should I pitch the NZXT fan? Because that's really seeming like the problem at the moment.
The CPU cooler is an H90 Hydro Series by Corsair.
