If I use a Coolermaster 212 Plus, with dual fans, will that be able to prevent the FX8350 from overheating (without overclocking, and no rigourous gaming [like no fallout4, no csgo])?
 
Solution
yeah, if the stock fan is good enough then the 212 is more than fine. Really nice cooler for the price, I used to run push-pull but considered it pointless when my i5 3570k is still stock speeds too. ~4 years later and still running strong

considering the shitty stock AMD fan can keep the FX-8350 cool enough without overclocking the Coolermaster 212 will be able to do the job even if you overclock it.

I have a 212 Evo and its a good cooler, keeps my CPU cool full load, it is definitely a step up from that wind turbine of a stock cooler, the dual fans wont make a difference, at least in my case, the single fan on the 212 will do fine. That CPU will throttle after 70 degrees, and a 212 should not see it do that, or even come close.
