Make sure you have a 970 / 990 chipset mobo before you do.

The cpu temps should be 62 degrees max and max 1.55V but check your mobo VRM because they can get hot , i use the stock amd fan to cool them

my rig ( fx-8370@ 4.6GHz / Nepton 240m/ msi 970 gaming / 16 Gb corsair xms / antec VP700P /  aerocool xpredator x1 white / costum rgb lights / r9 290 direct cu2 / 1 TB hhd/ sandisk 128gb ssd / adata SP900 128gb )
