2nd followup to my question

[thexombie]

under prime 95 my cpu is maxing out at about 56-59 c and I was running prime 95 and watching a movie on hulu at the same time ...how is that

 

[Devballs]

What CPU are you using? How long did you let prime run for?

 

[goodguy713]

if your using a phenom 2 then your right at the threshold but watching hulu and running prime is kind of a misnomer .. because hulu will tax your gpu not really your cpu..

I have a a8 5600k not o/c with seidon 120v duel fan push pull set up on a gigabyte a88x g1 sniper mb , and that gold thermal paste . 8 gb 2x4gb gskill ram and a xfx 7560 1gb gddr5 video card with a 775w modular psu in a inwin mid gaming case , what temp sould I be around at idele?? and under a load playing games like sleaping dogs ?? and my other question is why cant I get it to do the xfire settings ...thanks

Max thermal limit for that CPU is 74°C, so you are well under your thermal limit as per this link: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-A8-Series%20A8-5600K.html

sweet thanx kinda new with the water cooling and the new a series...do you know why I cant get it to go in to xfire both the board and the gpu and apu support xfire I am running windows 8 pro 64bit

I have no answer for you there as I have not used AMD products since the Thunderbird 800 MHZ days. Should be an option in the Catalyst control center though.

bypass the hybrid crossfire and just get a powerful gpu like a 270x. you will end up with better performance that way.

this is a bit different then hybrid xfire with the new apu's they are discreet class , may not be as good as 2 discreet gpu but building it a piece at a time and I am still waiting on the new fm2+ apu to be released by amd .I just got the motherboard today so I am still playng around with it
