Hello guys, today I bought a new case and a aftermarket CPU cooler.
The case is Zalman Z3 Plus (4 fans included, but I managed to make only 3 to work because my motherboard doesn't have a fucking 3-pin slot to plug in 4th) and a Zalman CNPS8X Optima CPU cooler.

My temps with them are: 30-36 in idle and 60 in Prime95 stress test after 3-4 minutes (the temps stay at 58-60 and not more). Tell me if these temps are ok for this CPU since with stock FX-6300 cooler I get 70-73 in full load (not stress test).

No, you don't understand. With the old FX-6300 stock CPU cooler I got 70-73 degrees in full load. Now, with the new Zalman CNPS8X Optima cooler I got max 60 degrees in a stress test with Prime95. I mean, 60 degrees in a stress test it's ok for this cpu since AMD CPUs are hotter than Intel ones?

I managed to install the 4th fan on my motherboard and I tested again with Prime95. 60*C stable. I tested on GTA V and I got 10+ fps and max temp was 53*C at the and of benchmark at that explosion. I checked the CPU temp with Aida64 Extreme at Sensor tab.

I managed to overclock it to 4GHz and 1.350 voltage and it stays the same (57-60*C). Thanks for your help guys. :)
