Safe Fx8320 temperatures

[Marek Wasilczu]

I'm stress testing my fx 8320 with hyper 212 evo. Temperature is bouncing from about 49c to max rarely 52. It stays at about 49-50. Should I worry?

I just installed the cooler 2 days ago. The pc is like 3 weeks old. Should I try lowering voltage?

Those temperatures are fine for stress testing; an fx 8320 is perfectly safe under 60C. I assume you are stress testing with Prime95 or another similar tester?

Prime95

In that case then, you're golden! Prime95 is brutal, and if your core temps are around 50C when it's running that's just peachy.
