Hi,
I have just upgraded my cpu from an amd fx 6300 to an amd fx 8350, and now my pc gets very hot within 10 minutes of use. Not gaming i mean like going on the internet. The heatsink spins very fast and is very loud and the pc gets very hot! What can i do to stop this?
Thanks Joe

You need a heatsink capable of cooling the FX-8350. The Hyper 212 EVO is a good one for a cheap price. The stock heatsink that comes with the FX-8350 is fairly decent as long as you do not overclock. Make sure that the heatsink is properly installed. If you are re-using an existing heatsink, then you must clean off the thermal paste and apply a new layer.
