Question about Cpu Cooler for FX 8350

[asianman1116]

I recently bought a fx 8350 from my friend however he did not include the stock cooler. At the moment the only cooler i have is from an amd sempron 145. I will be using artic colling mx 4 with it. I plan to get an xigmatek dark knight when i have the money. How hot would my cpu get?

I don't recommend using your friend's stock cooler. Also, if you don't have the money, get the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. It's normally $30 and a really good cooler. If you don't plan on overclocking, this is what you should get.

As for temperatures, my estimates won't be too accurate but I estimate that you'll get 40C at idle and it'll burn out at full load.
