FX 8350 70°C with H60.

[Anthonyk96]

Hey I am wondering what are safe temps for the AMD FX 8350, Recently when playing games I have been getting as high as 70°C which I don't feel is safe.

At Idle my CPU temp is 24°C and then 60-70°C when playing a game.

Here is a link to a picture of the max temp: http://i62.tinypic.com/259g4d1.png

It's fine. Perfectly safe.

That link doesn't go anywhere. And yes 70c is too hot AMD recommends that it should never go over 62c core temp. The cooler might not be installed properly, you could have used too much or too little thermal paste, im not sure if you have to bleed those all in one liquid coolers but if you do there might be air in the loop.

The FX8350 SHOULD BE 62 degrees or under it can throttle around 70 degrees and shut down.

The H60 is not a great cooler.

Thanks and added a new link. I think it may be the cooler, I will try installing a different one.

No 70c is not safe for a amd fx cpu, and is totally unacceptable for a liquid cooler, by cooler master hyper 212 evo air cooler keeps my temps while gaming under 55c at all times. So there is definitely a problem.
