Bought Amd fx8320 temperature question

[aaronu]

hello guys ivebought a new mobo and new cpu just got it yesterday. my mainboard is asus m5a97 atx board and cpu is amd fx 8320 8 core. also whats cooling it is coolermaster hyper 212 . so when i use prime 95 my cpu temp shoots uip to 59 c and my cpu package temp on hw monitor says 43 celcius. umm is having cpu temp high ok. im not sure. i dont wanna fry my cpu. Ill proably reapply thermal compound if needed. cause my artic silver is quite old. maybe its dried out.

did second test for few mins

readings 47 cpu package temp and cpu temp 62

i think my thermal compound is no good

Your temps are fine, just do not go over 65c

make sure core temp does not go over 62

not cpu temp but core temp

ok so all i have to worry about is  core temp alrity goinna do some more stress testing workin the cpu.

did a second run for 20 mins no errors.socket temps hovers around 62-64 c and core temp does not pass 48 Celsius. sounds like its fine :P possibly some head room for over clocking.

leaky sample? 

well, just make sure you have hyper212 positioned toward exhaust, you apply correct amount of paste.

you will be fine with that temps cus prime will use all your cpu, so its expected to run hot. in games you use 4-6 cores anyway and not allways on 100%

No worries there. I know how airflows works. I would not make a tornado in my case lol. that be dumb. like for example fan blowing to my cd drive. lol fail. I have it blowing through system fan. I could even do it up right to since i have a zalman z9 with every fan spot filled with fans.
