amd fx 6300 temperature while gaming

[sweg4 life]

ok so my amd fx 6300 gets to 66c while playing arma 3 and far cry 3 etc and the safe temperature i heard is 60 at the most. except amd has a software called turbo boost that by default increases the ghz from 3.5 to 4.1. when i go into bios and turn it off my fps drops by about 10 on almost all my games. so my question is if this program turbo boost is a program that runs a t default shouldn't it being running under 61c. and sometimes when im on the internet not even gaming it goes up to 60c without turbo boost turned off

What are your temperatures at idle?

my idle temps are not constant since they go from 20C to 45C at the most sometimes 50C at the most

idle temps don't matter, Is your cpu fan running at high speed under load?

Improve case airflow or get a cheap aftermarket cooler

AMD stock coolers (especially for the FX-6300 are usually quiet poor so you really wanna buy an aftermarket fan which doea fit in your case. Measure or inform case manual.

You have a cooling problem somewhere IMO.
Maybe the thermal paste or seating of the heatsink.
Idle temps shouldn't be fluctuating by 25c .
While 66c is hot its not dangerously so - I'd class 70c as the borderline safe limit personally.

You want to look at improving your cooling though - even a cheapo like the freezer 7 pro or zalman cnps5x will knock a good 10c off compared to the stock cooler.
What mb & case/fan setup are you using - it could be a dodgy temp sensor or you may just need to rethink your case cooling options.

I would like to by one of the heat sinks you recommended but I only have a 450 watt power supply with an AMD fx-6300 an evga 750 ti super clocked with 2gb of video ram a 1 Tb hard drive and 8gb of 1600mhz ram and the heat sink uses 150 watts is my power supply good enough?

The heatsink fan barely consumes any power, your 450w is enough, no worries.
