I've been looking at average temps for the FX-6300 and a lot of people are in the low 30's and I'm at 40 (idling temps). I don't have the best cable management but it's pretty clear and there's only 1 wire going by the CPU (the fan cable wasn't long enough to go behind). I'm using the stock cooler with 2 stock case fans. I'm not sure what "idling" is specifically but right now I have a YouTube video playing with 6 other tabs open. I also have skype and steam running in the background. When under load it tops out around 50- 52.
I have 3 questions:
1- What's a good idling temp?
2- What's a good temp under load?
3- Cheap way to lower temps?
