Hey, I've been playing PUBG with an FX8350 and Rx 580 and I've been getting around 78 degrees with my cpu! I have wraith cooler on it but still, the Recommendations says 65 celsius is maximum for this cpu and mine is close to 78!!
Should I be worried? How do I make it cooler?

 
Yes that a problem, it will be thermal throttling. The fix is better case airflow and upgrading the cpu cooler.

Try monitoring the temp with AMD Overdrive though and watch the thermal margin, you don't want it to hit 0. Many programs have problems giving accurate temp readings on the FM3+ platform.

I'm gonna buy 2x 120mm case coolers tomorrow, at the moment I have only one. That might make inside cooler and help the cpu temperature I guess?
