The FX 8350 is a very power hungry cooler. I used to have one running on the stock cooler. It idled at 60c and went up to 90c in games.

I decided that was enough and bought a 240mm AIO. Then it idled 10-20 and reached a peak of 60-65c.

 

That AIO was $100, and the temperatures were good, but not the best.

 

I doubt you will be able to find a cooler for under $30 for the 8350.

 

But look into a 212 evo, but if you can, look for the really bulky Noctua coolers with huge heatsinks, or dual-triple fan air coolers from coolermaster.

Cooler master Hyper 212

Arctic Freezer 33

Similar tower coolers, preferably with direct contact with the heatpipes.

 

Some top-blow coolers would even be preferred, but the beefy ones tend to be more expensive.

Unfortunately I can't run a super bulky cooler so I was looking at a 212 of a t4 just wondering if there was anything better

There was definitely something wrong with your CPU then: it should have shut down at 72C or so. FX CPUs have a relatively low max temp compared to more current CPUs.

Idle temps are meaningless in FX chips due to the sensor they use, but 60-65 is still pretty high for a 240mm AIO. Are you running some kind of crazy overclock?

It was an old 240mm AIO. I was running either stock at 4.0 or maybe 4.2GHz. I never went over.

 

I have since sold the system and moved to intel.

For about 35 dollars, you can get the Cryorig H7. For about 40 dollars, you can get the Cryorig H5. Both are very capable coolers.
