    You have an FX8 on a VRM Heatsink-Lacking Motherboard
    This is ONE of the primary reasons its going to stay shit even with tweaks,fans and fixes.
    While the FX isn't a powerhouse performer, good motherboards hold up to its power requirements while cheap non-VRM performer boards can have a whole range of issues.
    Your board isn't great by any stretch.. those VRMs are going to have high temps, and I'd be very wary of the board screwing expectations.
    Without VRM heatsinks, they are likely pumping out some serious heat.... right next to your CPU as well.

    Thanks man. I'll see what I can do. But for now can't play video games with this psu going crazy hopefully it will work tomorrow. 
    Take care.

    Your CPU is most likely totally fine. If Speedfan was really doing that, your CPU would be destroyed. Any real load, like playing an intensive game, would cause your CPU temps to hit closer to what you're getting. As far as what the max temps are for the CPU, it's hard to say exactly. The numbers I'm seeing are around 62 degrees, but nothing on AMD's site anymore due to the part's age.

    use hwinfo. the "200c" is either software reading wrong, or you have a bad sensor. your pc would shut off around 100c or less. 200c for even a few seconds would cook it completely, so it isn't hitting anywhere near that number

    thanks guys for the replies, i have dusted sevral times over and over there surely isnt and dust anymore. i think F.E.A.R is right because it sounds like an airplane when under full load. im doing small tasks like youtube or streaming and its staying around 40 - 50 peaking to 60!!

    FX CPUs require liquid cooling. Your 8350 is legitimately going to burn out if you keep using it at that temperature. It's thermal limit is 61°C before thermal throttling starts to occur and chip degradation accelerates. Stock coolers are simply not acceptable for anything of that era. 
     
    BUT then again, there's genuinely no point buying a sufficient cooler for something that out-of-date. I upgraded from an FX-9590 to a Ryzen 5 3600 for similar reasons. Even my 280mm AIO struggled to keep it in check AND the performance wasn't even worth all of the heat. The only use case I could see for an FX CPU in 2020 would be it acting as a space heater for your entire house.

    Ok, 80 - 85 degrees is definitely toasty. My advice would also be to get a new cooler. Or better yet, get a new CPU, Mainboard and Ram since AMD FX CPUs are definitely EOL. But if you cannot afford it or don't want to upgrade right now a new cooler will certainly fix your temperature issues.

    Well it's definitely your stock cooler that's causing the problem. Re-applying thermal paste isn't going to fix the problem. Try dusting out the CPU cooler (and case fans?) and see if that fixes the problem. If not, then you'll need a new CPU cooler.
