Are these temperatures normal for a FX 8350?

[celpas]

I Just built my first system and I splurged a little on the video card and thats why I had to compromise on the CPU Cooler.I bought a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo and when the ambient temperature in the room is 27 the idle temp of my fx 8350 is around 30-37 and with Prime95 it goes to around 68 after 5 mins.Are these temps corrct for a FX 8350?
Thanks in advance.

On a side note,is there a possibility AMD's stock cooler is better than this one?

yours temps are fine and that cooler is better than stock

Pretty normal. Prime95 puts an incredible amount of stress on the CPU translating into really high artificial temps. You would likely never see those temps when running your computer as intended (gaming, apps, etc.). Actually, the temps you are getting running Prime95 are pretty low in comparison to some other CPUs. I would imagine you would get higher temps with the stock cooler...stick with the Cooler Master.

One more thing,although my processor is not manually overclocked I have enabled Turbo Core and it is adjusting voltage as per the cpu load.Could that be a reason of high temps?

Ok Guys I just played a round of Battlefield 3 for 45 mins and these are my temps immediately after playing

My CPU is NOT overclocked and I have enabled Turbo Core which increases voltage based on load.Are these temps OKJ?

Just to recheck whether everything is fine here is a screenshot of hwmonitor.System is in idle mode

so is everything ok in those temps?

theyre fine

 

[celpas]

theyre fine

Also max temp of 69 in prime95 and of 59 in Battlefield 3 are in the normal range for this cpu when its at stock frequecy?
