It is just my first time using Prime95 so I didn't really know how long should I run it. I am just worried with my FX8320 because HWMonitor is showing me that my core temp is around 42C to 45C. When I run Prime95 it went up to 52C. My ambient room temperature here is around 32C to 37C. (really hot)

The 42C to 45C is happening when I am using Chrome maybe like 7 to 10 tabs and 3 remote desktops, skype. That's it.

I am using FX8320 with Hyper 212X. GPU is Zotac GTX 970 which I normally see around 40C to 42C.

And by the way, I installed my cooler horizontally because I was having a hard time installing it vertically. If someone would say my temps aren't normal then I guess it's because of the orientation of my cooler maybe?



Thanks a lot!
 
Because I've seen members here saying theirs are just 45C when gaming already. But mine is already hitting that 45C when just browsing or maybe it is because of my room temperature. So my cooler orientation does not cause any harm?
 
Thank you so much. I really thought there was a problem installing the Hyper 212x horizontally because what I normally see is that they install it vertically. Glad to know there was no problem with that.
