FX 9370 with Hyper 212 push/pull

[snkmoorthy]

All,

 

   I recently built a PC with FX-9370 with air cooled Cooler Master Hyper 212 with push pull fans. The cabinet is a Corsair 800D with 3 case fans as well. The temps at full load is 67/68 degrees Celsius. Can I get a 240/360  self-contained water cooler and get the temps down to 60/61 degrees under full load.

To phrase it differently, will 67/68 degrees cause the processor any harm in the long run?

Thanks for your advice.

Probably. Depends on room temp though.

I would say a water cooler is a good idea with that CPU, I have an 8350 and a single 120mm rad closed water cooler under load i get up to around 45-50c

Check the safe temps of the FX9___ CPUs. Run Prime95 for an hour of the temps get over the safe zone than consider getting a watercooler. Don't use push pull on that cooler it really doesn't make a difference and it make more noise.

It doesn't hurt the cpu but lower is always better and amd cpu's tend to trottle at temps over 60.

I'm pretty sure AMD's max temp for FX chips is 62c so yea i think a watercooler is needed unless you want to underclock/undervolt your chip to get acceptable temps

Chip temps 62°C, socket temp 70°C,
