FX 8350 Stock Cooler

Okay, to get this out of the way first, i am in no way, shape or form able to buy a aftermarket cooler

That being said, is the stock cooler (not the Wraith) safe for use for medium-high load gaming?

I have a 120mm intake fan on the side, 92mm exaust on the back and 120mm exaust on the PSU, ambient temperatures are currently around 22c but might reach 35

Edit: oh, forgot to mention, no OC, Turbo disabled

Its totally save as long as u dont overclock, just in case download HWmonitor and let it run on background while u do your gaming or other daily stuff, then check what was the max temperature, up to 80 is safe zone, up to 95 is amd zone (nobody cares anyway)

Yes, this is alright. Enable turbo, you will be fine. I had mine running as a server with the stock cooler for a year and a bit. Anything under 75-80c or within long term is all good
