Hi, I have a quick question. I've installed an Noctua NH-D14 onto my fx-8350 within a define R4 case.

I used the thermal paste supplied with the cooler and I just wanted some opinions on if my temperatures are what they should be.

When putting full load on the cpu with prime95/Intelburntests I hit around 54c fairly quickly and it starts to hover around that.

As for demanding games, in bf4 My temperatures rose to about 42c and stayed there.

Turbo core is disabled and I've done a mild overclock on the cpu. However I have NOT changed the voltage.

250mhz on the fsb for a 4.375ghz.

Are my temperatures good? the fans on the cooler goes up to 1200rpm and stays there.

Aside that I've got an Sapphire aftermarket cooled R9 290 with 2 fans as intake and 2 for out.

Mine running at stock speeds with a dh14 hits 52 and stays put. GPU doesn't matter on prime95 but got a Sapphire Tri-X 290X pushing out a bunch of heat gaming and it stays a bit cooler than yours, so I'd say you are in a good range.
