However if I can mount those dual fan systems which would be better? Well my case is the T410E 001 Tempest 410 Elite case with FRONT, 2 X 120mm 1200rpm (2x included)Ĭooler Master Nepton 280L Liquid CPU CoolerĬorsair Hydro Series H80i GT High Performance Liquid CPUĬorsair Hydro Series H90 140mm High Performance I have the MSI970A-G46 motherboard which has heat issues with the fx series. If it remains hot get a case fan than push air towards it, or get a northbridge heatsink it's cheap and some models even has a tiny fan with it Northbridge gets hot, you should do the same reinstalling method for it's heatsink just in case of wrong install by MB factory You should know the name of your CPU cooler, or reinstall it (get it out, clean the old paste on the CPU / cooler, re-apply new paste on CPU small dot in the middle of the cpu is enough, re-put the cooler in and check temps ) Nice big heatsink with 2.8Ghz reaches 60c ?There is a problem here, either you installed a very weak air cooler, or you didn't use/put any thermal paste or didn't clean the old paste etc.Īt 2.8 Ghz you shouldn't reach 60c at all even with a TX3 coolerĬoolers are rated by TDP, and at 2.8Ghz the fx8350 uses much less than 95w TDP which means it becomes very easy to cool using most coolers in the marketĪt 4.0 all cores its rated for around 125w TDP , I have air cooling with 5 case fans a nice big heat sink etc but on load at 4.0GHz my system north bridge region hits over 80C.īy all the time I mean on load, I used to drop my peaks to 2,8Ghz to keep a max temp of 55-60C at load. It's enough for 8350 stock operations and it supports AM3+

The H75 is a slim 120mm water cooler which is entry level liquid cooling, most air coolers can cool better than it I personally prefer air cooling over water if there is space inside the case Why would you be on 4.0 all the time ? even on idle ?
