Ok, so I have the following situation.
This is my rig:
AMD FX8350 w/ Arctic MX4 paste 4.4GHz 1.402V@load (prob could go lower)
Cooler Master Nepton 140XL cooler w/ 1 Noctua IndustrialPPC 140 PWM 2000RPM
Asus Sabertooth 990FX r2.0 mobo
Fractal Design R4 case w/ open side (airflow not a problem) and stock fans
AMD Radeon R9 290 gpu
Here are the facts.
1. I've properly applied the thermal paste.
2. The fans and pump seems to be working.
3. The ambient temp is around 30C.
4. Temps under load with Aida64 are around 60C on the core, 70C on the socket.
5. Gaming with 80% load on average seems to put the max core temps to 69-70C, while the socket remains 70-71C max.
6. Reducing the VCORE@load from 1.465V to 1.403V did almost nothing to the temps, but still stable.
7. CPU fan speed is around 1300RPM under heavy load, and only goes to its max when the socket goes above 70C. I've tried everything (different software, BIOS) and this doesn't change. Stock fans have a more normal curve though.
8. Readings taken from HW Monitor.
Here are my questions:
1) Are these temps safe (meaning no chance of hardware degradation) given the current facts above?
2) If they aren't, what is the problem and how to fix?
I've read in the sticky that according to AMD and Overdrive, the max safe temp of the cores is 70C, but I want your opinion on this, because my situation seems to be different from the other temp threads.
