Safe temperatures for AMD FX 8350

[HuckleberryWill]

I just ran Prime95 and I was getting around 59*C , I am using the stock cooler.



What are safe temperatures for an AMD FX 8350 to run at? I have no idea if 59* is hot for a CPU.

EDIT:

Idles at about 32*C

can't say either, but why a stock cooler? fit a better one and it will be loads better,

i have a i7 2700K 3.50GHz @ 4.20GHz DDR3 with a Zero Infinity Phantom CPU Cooler, and its running 24/7 at 31c with 20% load, only gets to 41c at 70% and not got any higher as nothing i use pushes it more atm

I am going to get a different cooler ASAP, but can't afford one just yet. I built my PC yesterday and just want to make sure nothings gonna melt if I play Crysis.

Your best to keep the new FX cpus under 65oC

Prime 95 is a worst case scenario benchmark.... so worst case scenario your cpu will hit 59oc ( ambient tempreature dependent )

Thank you! Playing Cryis's is safe.

If you take Prime95 stability seriously Piledriver will drive you mad even with a high end cooler/watercooling, you'll struggle to get any sort of overclock whilst keeping temps in check under stress testing.

What temp does it shutdown/throttle at?

Left the window open (its cold outside) got back and the CPU was idling at 29*!

I've not witnessed a shutdown yet but I've seen throttling occur at just 4.6ghz and that was under water, there doesn't seem to be a way to cool the socket temp which skyrockets out of control under Prime95 testing. I have just been running it at stock since.

Ok, thanks!

Shutdown occurs at ~90c for my 6200. i would think yours would be similar

Thank you!

It'd throttle well before it hits 90c.

So, 60*C is fine, ?start throttling above that?, will shutdown at 90*C.
