hey everyone, this is my new build :
amd fx 8350
asus m5a99fx
g.gkill 2x4gb 1866
asus r7 260x oc
1tb hw
psu : green 750w
case : green x4
im concerned about the temperature numbers, when idle cpu temp is around 38c and when rendering or in games it reaches up to 67c, i guess these numbers are too high even for amd standards. any suggestion for cooling options are appreciated fellas ;)

just amd stock heatsink and fan, i got 5 fans on case, and case has enough room, air flow is ok, ,main temp is 37 on load, and cpu fan runs in 6000 rpm or abode in 3d rendering.

Vex has a good point. If you would rather have a more interesting aesthetic appeal or want to dabble in liquid cooling a bit too you could buy a all-in-one cpu cooler. The Corsair h80i is about $100.00 though so it's all in what you want.

I don't have personal experience with either, but the Lucifer is excellent from what I can gather.
The Fiend Shark seems to be sub-par. I can't find much relevant information on the Ice Edge Blade Pro 2 but what I do find seems to be relatively positive.

Based on what I can find I'd go with the Lucifer.
