HI there community.

I have installed a FX8300 Black Edition Unlocked CPU along with the Wraith Cooler and it's original manufacture's thermal grease.
Now from what I have seen it runs 50'C in the Bios on start and about avg 47'C after awhile.

In windows 10, it runs 41-47'C with the fan at ~2300RPM.
In most games it runs 58-64'C

All I wanted to know if those temps are good for the FX8300 Black Edition because for some reason I can't find even a trace of that specific CPU's specifications on AMD or it's rated temperatures.

Thank You All :)
 


Cool :) since i'm new to AMD and my intel runs on like 30-32'C it scared me a bit haha

If it bothers you, then I would suggest that you get rid of the stock wraith amd cpu cooler.

If you have never ventured into the water cooling side for your cpu, you can pick up a single 120mm radiator and cpu water cooling block AIO unit for around £55 these days from corsair, or other makers.

The Idle temps of your FX8300 cpu will sit at around 38c and when the cpu is under heavy load max out around 50c plus.

Isn't the Wraith cooler as good as most 120mm AIO's anyway, if not better?
 
Well I have a corsair H60 water set up.

And the temps I quoted you are what I currently get, as I have Asus Ai suite monitoring the cpu temps constantly Nulgath.
And that is with a FX 8350 cpu overclocked to 4.6Ghz.

So yes they do perform better than the AMD wraith cpu air cooler.
 


Oh ok, I asked this because I've read this review about the Wraith cooler compared to the Hyper 212 Evo, also an FX-8350 OC'd to 4.6 Ghz:

Peak temperature of 54.1 degrees, I find that really impressive for a ''stock'' cooler. I recalled the Hyper 212 Evo to be slightly better than the Corsair H60 (But can't remember anymore really) so I thought it might get really similar results in comparison.
