Question Should I buy a new CPU Cooler/Case Fan?

[randomperson1523]

Hi, I just want to know if I should buy a new CPU cooler or case fan. The temperature on my CPU under load reaches 70-72 degrees celsius. I have an FX-8320 with the stock cooler and no case fans, just want to know.

Depends on what SW you used to check temps. FX has 2 temp sensores, one for cores which shouldn't go over 62c and another one for "Package" with limit of 90c. Most accurate is AMD Overdrive which shows temps in reverse, a margin to 62c core temp.

I'm using MSI AfterBurner to check the temperatures of the CPU.
