AMD fx 8350 over heating

[tomasesp]

Hello for about 4 days my CPU( AMD fx 8350) has been running around 45c ~ 52c. "The CPU is not being over clock"

When I'm gaming and also when I'm just browsing. 
I use a corsair h100i to cool it. I changed the thermal paste on it to see if that was the problem but nothing.
Before it was hitting the 45~52 mark it was running around 30c ~ 38c.

My rig is only about 5 month old. I'm running a dual monitor setup.

I use corsair link to monitor my system. 

 

this a list of my parts.

As long as you stay below 80C when it's under load you are completely fine to be honest. If It's 55+ while idle it might be a bit excessive, but nothing to really worry about. My i5 4670 runs at 45C a lot of the time while just having some programs running, and nothing heavy and fx chips go very fast very hot anyway. No worries.

You want under 60, definitely not anywhere near 80  :blink: @tomasesp As for why it's so hot, could your cooler be defective in general? Was it overheating while it was on the stock cooler? Or did you not test it? Maybe hop in the bios and make sure it's not set for a fairly high voltage as well.

I would clean out the computer from any dust from the past 5 months you've probably got a lot in the rad

ambient temps? I use a hyper 212 and it's OC'ed to 4.4ghz and it stays around 55-60 usually under load... maybe it's not seated properly

if you desktop is placed on the floor

 

chances are there will be tons of dust getting suck into the computer

 

open up and do some housekeeping

 

 

I have encountered desktops with horrible sight the moment I open the casing up
