About a a week and a half ago, I installed a Hyper 212 EVO on my FX 6300/M5A99FX PRO R2.0
The edge (on my left) (and possibly the top edge, which I cannot see properly due the orientation) are not directly under the heatsink. This is very tiny edge and is pictured below.
My thermal margins from AMD Overdrive when not doing anything intensive (e.g., typing this message) are generally between 50-60C. Occasionally when something in the background draws on the CPU it goes between 40-50C.
I have not begun overclocking, and I am using standard BIOS settings.
The heaviest load I normally put it on is playing Assassin's Creed Unity. When I've had AMD Overdrive running on my second monitor while playing ACU on my first, the thermal margin at lowest goes down to 30-35C.
Given all this, do I have anything to worry about?
