Fx-4100 temps

[mattpook5]

Hello,
got an fx-4100 the other week just wondering if idleing at 36C is normal? prime95 for 20 mins and it is sat at 59-62c seemed a little hot to me? Stock cooling aswell.

With stock cooling you have good temps.

what cheapish cooler would be good for this cpu?

 

[amuffin]

Cooler Master Hyper 212+ You will be able to get great overclocks with it.

I realize this is a bit old. But if youre still wondering, you shouldnt need a new cooler. I have a 4100 OC'd to 4.1Ghz with the stock cooler and I idle at 22c and peak at 53c after an hour or two of Prime. Id consider some case fans, or a new case if you don't have the option for more case fans...
