I just installed a new Hyper 212 Evo to replace the archaic and unsuitable AMD Stock Cooler. I'm wondering if these temperatures are correct at all

They are based on running HeavyLoad and then the GTA V Benchmark (one after another) and here at the readings off HWMonitor.

CPU is the AMD FX-8350 and GPU is MSI R9 285 Twin Frozr. One exhaust fan at the rear and one intake fan at the front. The heatsink is in a pull configuration with the fan pulling air from the front of the case directly onto the heatsink. Thermal paste used is the included one in the Hyper 212 Evo packaging.

NOTHING IS OVERCLOCKED

59 is a comfortable CPU temperature (under load). When it gets over 75, that's when you should start getting concerned. As for the video card, it's running quite cool. Those can take all the way up to 95 before they get in trouble.

P.S.- 75 for AMD. If Intel CPU for those reading, over 90 is troublesome for non-overclocked. If overclocking, try not to exceed 70 for stability.

Thank you. The fan runs a lot cooler and quieter compared to stock too :D

Okay that's fine :D

I'm not too bothered about the temperature as long as it doesn't get to the point where is starts damaging components. It's a Corsair 200R in case anyone was wondering.

Pun intended
