I have an FX 8320E cooled by a Zalman Performa Cnps5x on a Asus M5a78l-m/usb3.

My temps while idle are around 40 - 55c

and whilst in game (such as rust) 59 - 62c

I do not think these temps are normal.. but I tried almost everything I can to fix them.

Stock speed and voltage?

I'm not as familiar with AMD CPUs, haven't owned one in a few years, but those temperatures don't seem unreasonable to me with a modest heatsink like the CNPS5x.

How is your case airflow? Does the case get warm to the touch when you're loading it?

Yeah it's at stock speed and voltage.

My case airflow isn't the worst, but isn't great at all. It's a little clumped in there but enough room for ventilation.

When I'm playing a heavy duty game like rust when I touch the case, it is warm to the touch.
