Hey guys, I was wondering if the AMD FX 8320 Stock cooler is any good ? IM NOT GOING TO OVER-CLOCK IT. Ive seen on threads that it can go up to 63C. I plan to go to University and ill be rendering with Mantel ray, 3DS MAX, CINEMA 4D, AUTO CAD softwares so I'm most likely going to leave the computer on for 24hours, i.e, for a render scenes. Is it safe to have 63C on a cpu temp on for that long ? Just wondering if I need after-marker cooler. Help would be appreciated, thanks.

Yes, the stock AMD cooler is designed for that CPU. It can get a little noisy at higher RPMs, though.

If the case is well designed for air flow, it shouldn't be running at max temp for that task. But if you have air flow issues, then look into an after market cooler. The Cooler Master 212 EVO is a good quality low cost cooler.
