FX-8350 Overheating Problem HELP!!!!!!

[JeanAce]

I have a FX-8350 with aftermarket zalman cooler running @ 2200rpm on idle I get 45-50C but on load in games it kicks up to 65-70C is that normal or I'm just paranoid? My case is really hot and my PSU blows hot air but its more than enough for my setup I'm sure.

Those temps are normal if you overclocked that cpu. Those run a little warm. You should be fine.

Alright case looking looks adequate. IMO the stock voltage is set too high. Could you download cpuz and see what the voltage is when playing games?

Go into the bios and manually set it to 1.30v

 

[JeanAce]

its a bit better but not by much I set it on 1.31V now its 58C. But I think if it seriously overheats it will start to lag and eventually shut itsefo off but I'm not noticing any lag at all now

[JeanAce]

can i be because my pc is like 15cm from the wall?

 

[chromic]

is the CPU temp 60-70c OR core temp?

Which Zalman cooler are you using? It seems like its having a hard time cooling
