Is it safe for my Amd Fx-6350 to run at 60c?

[CrimsonDevil]

Hello there I just resonantly upgraded my computer with a new power supply and graphics card. Now normally My amd Fx-6350 runs at 40-45c its running a lot hotter around 59c. To save money I have been running the stock heatsink.

My questions are 1.would getting a better heatsink fan help my cpu cool down 2. Is it because there's not enough air flow in my case? 3. Should I re-Apply the thermal paste?

if it's just that the heatsink fan that need's to be replaced what heatsink fan will fit within my case? space is very limited. If needed Ill take pictures and measurements of my case.

It's working to its full potential now pushing the 970. That being said, 60C is extremely cool for a CPU. Start worrying if it hits 80C. Search for any review of a CPU on a tech website and nearly every "full load" temperature will be in the 60-70C range. You're on the low side.

You could clean off the old thermal paste and apply new if you're extremely concerned. It does degrade over a couple years time.
