Hi all...

I'm a little concerned about the resulting temperature on my cpu.
I'm on a well ventilated corsair case, 4 fans.
Mobo MSI 970 Gaming
CPU AMD FX 8350
Just installed my first Corsair Hydro H100, followed instructions carefully, i swear!

Room temperature is about 20°c.

Well then... WTF?

Well consider benchmarking options tend to rev your cpu to about as high as can go. In real life you'll rarely get to this point.
Load up something more up your alley. Like a heavy graphics game or a video editing program or anything that you know will be graphically intensive. Then observe your margins. If you're still unsure how to test it, sure load up the benchmarking, just keep an eye on temps and don't let the temps on the cpu go over 95 C (not sure what that translates to in terms of thermal margin).
