Good temps for an AMD APU A4 5300?

[jcodbf2]

I built my gf a apu based system and I have never used an apu before and it is sitting at 40-45c idle. Is that acceptable for these chips?

It is acceptable, but a bit warm for idle.

What it reads at max is what is important. It may be the case has limited air flow. What do you have it in?

The build is a mini ITX and the case is a BitFenix Prodigy I think it is.. Very nice case and roomy.

Thank you for the link. I havent been able to do any load testing yet to see what the max it is... I may end up trying a after market HSF if I have too because the stock one is terrible with no copper or anything.

Yes, the stock cooler is rather poor, but sufficient for general use in a well ventilated case. I wouldn't call the BitFenix Prodigy a roomy case, tho. That is probably what is causing the higher than normal temps. Try to move as much air as possible thru the case.

I built an HTPC with the Cooler Master Elite 120 and the A10-5800K. I had a heck of a time cooling it.
