Does anyone know what temp a AMD FX8350 is meant to run at?

I am running it with a XILENCE M606 Cooler, which has 2 120mm fans on it, to work as a push pull set up,
Case is a Thermaltake Global Commander MS-III
Motherboard is a Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2
1 x front fan, (blow inwards)
1 x side fan, (blow inwards)
1 x rear fan, (blow outwards)
1 x bottom fan, (blow inwards)
2 x top fans, (blow outwards)

But according to CPUID HWMonitor CPU is 59 c and Motherboard is 40 c

While it says that the only programs I have open are 2 internet explore pages and the HWMonitor program,

That would be a long shot. More than likely, you have a sofware conflict. Try running CCleaner and do its Clean and Registry portions both. If your system is a mess, you may need to run it more than once. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

If still no joy, update your virus pgm and run a FULL scan. You may have a virus causing that.
Then download and run Malware bytes. https://www.malwarebytes.org/ It will scan for infections of malware.

With your motherboard did you get a cd with it which has a temperature program . I have asked the Same question basically . And what was recommended to me was that . I have an Asus motherboard . And I compare between core temp program and the asus one and there is about a 20 degree difference . Or did you mean motherboard as the motherboard temperature program ?.

My temp idle on Hwmonitor Is 4 Degrees On Core Temp About 5 And On Asus Ai Suite It Is About 20 Degrees . All these are idle . And my max temp when playing a high res fame is about max 40 . I have a liquid cooler . And 5 fans . Mainly mesh case . .. but from what I have researched my temps are the lowest I've seen . Tbh

Obviously it is not correct. 4C is less than 40F. Your PC would have to be in freezing temps to read that low. Even 20C is unrealistic. That would be 68F. Most FX 8350 idle at ~36-40C in a well ventilated case. AMD has had an issue with 3rd party apps getting an accurate core temp reading since the switch to the Bulldozer architecture. That is why it is recommended to use AOD to monitor core thermal margin instead.

That doesn't make sense . The fan sucks hot and produces cold using electricity and the reason it doesn't get so cold is because the cpu and system remain hot . When everyone says you have to have a cold room to have a cold box

Hi Lisa-32-UK,

Unfortunately I have the same chassis with you. Actually I see that your cpu cooler is 156mm high, while the chassis' limitation is 155mm. I’m spending my time to find a good cpu cooler for this chassis. Can you tell me if there is enough space to the side panel, please? Can I fit a 158mm cpu cooler in this chassis?

Hi,
I think you could get a 158mm cooler inside it, but you most likely need to get slim fans for the top of the case, the ones I got were from ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Scythe-Kaze-Jyuni-Slim-Slip-Stream-2000-RPM-PC-Case-Cooling-Fan-120mm-/400737557607?pt=UK_Computing_Case_Fans&hash=item5d4dd1dc67
