[henom II X4 965 BE temps?

[ivo_ca]

Hey guys I just wanted to know what temperatures do I have to look for with my Phenom II 965 BE (not overclocked)?
I recently installed the corsaid h50 on it and i think it's running a little hotter temp that it should.

Idle is at higher 30s to lower 40s (38-44) C
when gaming it goes up to 65 max

is that normal for that cpu on stock frequencies?

I appreciate your opinion and any suggestions

thanks

It does sound high, check the cooler is installed properly and the thermal paste was applied correctly.

Also look at airflow, in general, inside the case. Try to position cables to minimize blocking the flow of your fans. Poor cable position management can really affect the overall heating of your system.
