fx8350 at stock runs 48-50C idle

[NaiteRyder]

Jus built a my new gaming rig, I use CPUID HWMonitor and found my fx8350 runs at 48-50C at idle... Can anyone say the,

reasons???
solutions???

Did you apply the correct amount of thermal paste?

The stock cooler comes with thermal paste.. I use that...

The stock cooler is noisy and few say upto to 62C is normal temp..

Those are still a little high for idle. my temps for the stock cooler on my 8320e were about 40.

Then should I have to reapply the paste??

How did you apply it? how much did you use?

What is the CPU temperature in the BIOS (it isn't idle) and what are the thermal margins in AMD Overdrive (much more accurate than the using HWMonitor)?

I didnt apply any thermal paste, I'm using - already applied paste by the manufacturer...

The bios shows 49C..

That isn't bad, but what is the ambient temperature? And what are the thermal margins at full load?

The stuff that comes with it isn't very good. go online and buy some real paste.

Replacing the thermal paste won't necessarily provide a huge improvement. The AMD cooler is delivered with decent thermal paste; they certainly don't use tooth paste. Worth reading: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/thermal-paste-performance-benchmark,3616.html (test platforms include an FX-8350 CPU).

It's not necessarily bad, but they definitely don't use arctic silver 5.

Ya, i planned to buy thermal paste. The problem is I dont get isopropyl alcohol here, any other solvents can be used to remove the thermal paste?? that shouln't corrode the material (same as isopropyl alcohol)..
