Should i be concerned

[SeeFights]

Currently running The Witcher 3 on my FX-8350 and SLI 960's OC and my CPU is reaching 70^oc should i be concerned. It is stable at 74^oC and its not moving up just going to 73^oC and back up?

if it goes to 75-80 under load. better get a beefier cooler if you are still feeling uneasy

90 is the extreme limit, as long as it keeps under 75-80 it should be fine

get a better cooler...stock amd coolers arent the best imo...30 dollars will give you something to go with for a long time/

so get a better cpu cooler and as long as it stays under 75-80 its fine

90 is danger zone 85 is hot 70-75 is about normal unless its on a beefy cooler and not overclocked.

Hyper EVO 212.

AMD CPUs have a lower maximum temperature tolerance than their Intel counter-parts.

You typically want to keep it under ~72*C while under "normal" usage loads.

75*C ~ 80*C would be okay for short term (e.g. stress testing).

 

If you are running your FX-8350 at stock, or with a mild overclock, an inexpensive Hyper 212 EVO OR Hyper 212X (successor of the Hyper 212 EVO) would more than suffice.

The Cryorig H7 is also a good choice if you are really worried about cooling. It's a few bucks more, but it cools better and is smaller.
