8350, rx 460, CM 590 case, asrock 970 ext.4 mobo, 16g, windows 10. Ambient temps where I live are around 29-32 with no AC here as it is summer.
I don't know what to do. This freaking CPU will not cool down. I have my fans running at full-on all the time and I am still getting high 50's in simple games like lol and overwatch.
Fallout 4 will jump to 70 for one sec and come back down at loading screens and then jumps around 55-61, and Doom seems to run fine. I have read threads with people not getting over 35c on max load with an evo 212.
I expected better from a 212X. I wanted to OC but that doesnt even seem sort of possible. I have reseated the cooler 4 times now in different directions with different paste configurations, being careful to clean off every little bit of paste between positions and none of them make any difference.
Is my CPU bad? Am I doing this wrong? Are these temps bad?
