Hi there,
I bought My Cpu Fx-6300 about a month ago and using its Amd stock fan ..
these were the temps that i recorded using Hwmonitor
idle using : from 37C (min) to 58C (max)
evne if I opened google chrome or Photoshop
Gaming tem : from 63 (min) to 78(max)
these where under playing Pes 2016, AC4 black flag, Batman arkahm knight (all on high and ultra) , and the temp is usually about 73C as average

Are these temps normal?
and can I OC my fx-6300 or it will EXPLODE (lol)

Yes, actually 78 is just a peak and it remains changing from 69 to 76 ( watch dogs is the ony game that remains between 72 and 76 )

P.S : I have 2 fans 160mm in my case but I am still looking for power data cable to operate them .. wiil it be useful?

Not knowing what case you have or how crowded it is, or how good the cable management is, it is hard to say. But yes, you should have at least one 120mm exhaust fan in most mid tower cases. A front intake and rear exhaust is preferred.

I have a GTR-miracle H1 case (http://miracle-dl.com/products_desc?code=89#prettyPhoto)
It has 2 160mm OR 120mm (not sure exactly :D ) but I am looking for this wire right now to operate them, for cable management it's not very bad nor very good, it is just completely away from the MOBO so I think it's good somehow

P.S : Can a Hyper 212 evo cool my cpu down to about 66 as max in gaming ?

Yes, the 212 EVO should be perfect for that case. Should fit nicely. But be aware you may have to remove the motherboard from the case if the access window on the m/b tray is too small to work the mounting hdwr. change properly.

Ok, changed the thermal paste and the cpu seems to get higher temps :mad:
I used the thermal paste bags, the shop-owner told to put two bags on the cpu, I thought that two bags will be too muchso i put only one :/
