FX 8320 getting terrible temps?

Hi all, 

I'm working on overclocking my 8320 to get more performance.

So, I overclocked it to 4,0 Ghz, and am finding it's running pretty hot already.

 

I have a H70 sitting on it, with two Corsair SP120's in push pull.

My temp is sitting at 62 degrees (Monitored by CPUID HWMonitor)

 

My case is the HAF Stacker, so plenty of room, and ventilation... I have six fans in the system, giving positive pressure.

 

Any help on why I'm seeing such bad temps?

Try reseating the block. The h70 isnt that great anyway, if I'm thinking of the right AIO.

You probably are, I got a cheap one  ;)

 

Room temp is somewhere in the Meh, to a little hot for my comfort range... (I don't have a thermometer in here... Sorry O:)

My home is around 71F, and my room is a tad hotter than the thermostat area, so I'd guess 73F (About 23 C)

Probably a mixture of the ambient temps and the cooler itself being bad honestly. I would try reseating it, and see if that helps. If not, get a better cooler my man.

Ughh, was hoping for different advice ^_^, thanks anyways I guess. I'll clean off my radiator too, the push/pull gathers tons of dust... Maybe that's the issue...

Hmm... let me think. Uh, yea, that would probably be the issue :D

yeah that should help atleast a little also is this at idle or at load i am assuming load in which case this isnt too bad if you cranked up the voltage really high which you can always bring it down a little bit unless its not stable at all

its GE (pause) TechNicks

Voltage is stock right now at 1.380V (is that normal?)

 

After cleaning the radiator

and reseating the cooler

I'm running Prime95 again. Ill post updates after 15 or so minutes of running.

 

Here's a picture of my radiator (Note, It's been much worse...)

Sitting at 60 C... Better, but not by much. Could be attributed to the radiator, reseating, or even the fact that I turned on my ceiling fan...

I blame the cooler in the end.

Still OCing, at 4.3Ghz, haven't touched the voltage, and temps haven't moved that much...

I'm cool with that. Aiming for 4.5 :D

I think a lot of people kind of go all or nothing and put a lot through for mediocre overclocks. I can do 4.3 with 1.325V, obviously every CPU is different but 50-75mV is quite a big gap
