Is 35 degrees celsius too cool for running Prime95 for half an hour?

[thephantom4567]

Today I just got the CM Hyper 212 evo cooler and i must say that the temps seem too good to be true. After installing the cooler and running prime95 to get the thermal paste to ease in. However, after half an hour of running prime95, the max temp was 35 degrees C on both Core Temp and HWMonitor. Is this really possible? I really would like to know if screwed something up and should reinstall the cooler. With my stock cooler, i got a max temp of about 53 degrees C on prime95.
Also, i am not overclocking ATM.
My specs:
cpu: FX-8320
mobo: Gigabyte 970a-d3p
RAM: Corsair Vengence(2x4Gb)

Sounds fine to me.
Using a similar processor that also has a 125w TDP, when I installed the EVO those temps were similar.

The stock cooler really is horrible for AMD processors.

Seems low to me, but nothing to complain about if the readings are legitimate. Are you by any chance one of those scientists at the South Pole?

Edit: Since gamer had a similar experience it seems they are perfectly fine. I am still surprised they are that low, I'd at leas expect them to get into the 40s. But then again you have not OC yet.

35 degrees seems way to low while using prime95, unless your ambient temp is around zero.
Are you sure all 8 cores are being used and are they running at the rated speed?

They do seem a bit too good to be true, however sometimes it does happen.
Either way, if its running full tilt and multiple programs agree...

For an 8320 at stock clocks, i would say this reading is accurate.

 

[kwa-e]

HWMonitor tends to give inaccurate readings of load temperatures on AMD processors, use AMD overdrive to calculate load temperatures during stress testing as this is much more accurate.

Positive. I had both cpu meter and task manager up showing all 8 cores were at 100 percent.

Run prime95 again, wait till you hit 35C, restart PC (not shutdown) and boot into BIOS, it'll be more accurate than software for amd processors most of the time. Keep in mind that CPU temperature drops while restarting/booting so add a couple of degrees, I think it's more than just 35.
