AMD FX 8350 Temps

[Otacons]

Hello everyone.
I am having some problems with my FX 8350's temps.

This is my configuration:
AMD FX 8350 4 Ghz
Asus GTX 760 2GB
8GB RAM 1600 Mhz Kingston
Asrock 970 pro3 r2.0
Windows 7 pro 64 bit.

Here is the issue:
I replaced the AMD stock cooler ( Which was more noisy than a landing airplane) with the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO (that runs pretty silent), after some testing and some research, I found out that the Turbo Core made the temps go too high till 57-58 ° C. I know the maximum the safe temps for 8350 should be around 60-61°. So I was really close!
So I disabled the Turbo Core from the bios and now the processor runs at speed stock maximum 4Ghz, temps are 33-35 in idle and 48-50 while gaming, which seems to be good.

Now I ask you, is there anything I can change from control panel which will allow me to keep the Turbo Core with similiar temps? Or it's not worth it to get additional +200mhz?
Also if you have any advice to low the temps more, I'll be grateful, the lower temps the better!
I use the PC mostly for Gaming.


Thank you for your time

That means it's the maximum it got to, not how far it CAN go.

AMD didn't release them. 80c is the max. 75c is the max safe. 60c means you need to overclock more.

70C is throttling level, don't pass that!

70c is what it often throttles at, yes, but that's just to guarantee it will be safe. 80 is not preferable, 75 is as high as I'll go and that's pushing it, cooler is always better.

I am confused and can't find any official claims about FXs safe temps...

Forget the idiot above.Overclockers on overclock forums have found that AMD in their latest Overdrive release has stated that 70C is max core temp.The common information is that you still shouldnt exceed 62C as it could shorten component lifespan.
On a side note the cooler you have gotten is just about the minimum to actually just run a 125W processor like FX 8350.If you want to overclock or use Turbo I suggest you buy the Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo which is very budget friendly and you can OC that baby to at least 4.7GHZ which makes it as powerful as a FX 9590 nearly

If you are worried, just buy an AIO cpu water cooler like a Corsair H80i or an Antec KUHLER H2O 950.

Either of these would be very quiet and provide good temps for overclocking.
