I just recently put a Fx8150 in my case. It seems like it idles kinda high but doesn't appear to go up much in temperature while playing games. I don't bother overclocking and probably never plan to. My setup is:
Case: Thermaltake Dokker Case
MB: Asus Sabertooth 990fx
CPU: AMD 8150fx
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5870
RAM: 2x4gb G.Skill Ripjaws
PS: Corsair GS700
I have 2 fans coming in and 2 fans out. I'm using the stock cooler that came with the CPU @ 3086rpm . At idle right now looking at temps in Asus Thermal Radar program I'm at...
CPU Temp: 47c
VCore1: 49c
VCore2: 45c
MB Temp:32c
CoreTemp seems to read some lower temps saying CPU#0 36c with a min/max of 33c/45c. CoreTemp also says it has a VID of 1.4125v, which from what I've read is better then it being lower if that is true? It apparently has something to do with how much it leaks?
Now while playing Battlefield 3 @ 1080p on Medium I notice the temperature in Thermal Radar stops and stays around 58-59c. From what I'm reading this CPU safety net is 62c so is my CPU alright and cooled enough? Should I look at getting a different air cooled CPU cooler?
Any thoughts/opinions are welcomed. If you need more information let me know.
Thanks,
-Russ
