Hey everyone, im running a decent system and i devided to do some OCing. i got my 8350 to a decent 4.5 sloppyish OC. The highest temp ive seen is about 68-69C highest core on a fairly heavy load. This is one of my first overcloaks ive had a worry about tempatures. Im using a Noctua Dual tower cooler with 2 fans and a 3rd right next to it to exaust. Bottom line. Are my temps safe?
Thanks!
s!Yeah I'd feel ok with that (although not exactly happy). How did you get the processor to load? Is it from something like prime95 or what? It is a little warm but if that is from a prime95 test then that's really a temp from abnormally high work loads.
You are looking at the wrong temperatures.
AMD CPUs stop working properly at around 61C. What you have there is socket temperature, and it's okay-ish.
And, well, you want your CPU temperature not to reach 60 under heavy load.
Also, it's better by a few degrees to have your CPU cooler in horizontal position with fans blowing upwards.
I do video editting for school and sorts so like adobe premeir rendering/encoding and exporting
How dare speedfan lie to me. Ill redo my tests and run a proper temprature monitor. Thanks!

try this one, and post a screenshot. 69 degrees is hot, could be a bad thermal paste job. ☺
Mine gets to about that under load. I honestly wouldn't (and don't) worry about it. AMD CPUs run hotter than Intel CPUs. 70 Celsius won't cause damage to an 8350 (or at least it won't damage a GPU). I would obviously follow the suggestions previously mentioned, but, if at the end of the day the temps will not go any lower, don't spend money trying to fix it (or at least I wouldn't).
No AMD CPUs do not run hotter than Intel parts. They have a higher TDP but that doesn't necessarily translate to higher temperatures. Mid 60s are about as high as I'd feel comfortable letting an 8350 get. Intel parts can get into the 100s and be just fine.
70 could cause some damage. CPU and GPU temps are different. GPUs can and do get much hotter and can so safely. CPUs not so much.
I wouldnt be worried at all, looks fine.
52 degrees under full load, on 4.5 ghz is fine. ☺ i assume that its not on idle?
If you prefer cooler, install asus suite fan expert, and switch the profile to turbo. your cooler is in silent mode. looks to me that you probably did not setup your cpu fan control in the bios.
Do you think i could push to to 4.7 on air cooling? (Noctua NH-14D)(also sorry for late respawnding, school tends to get in the way alot.) If not i do have a budget to upgrade to a liquid cooler, h100i ect
NH-D14 should be capable of handling 4.7 on a good FX8350 + mobo, however you need to set you cpu fan´s to higher rpm for sure.
How did you applied your termal paste by the way? for AMD the best way is the pie method in the centre of the cpu.
70 could cause some damage.
No, 70C is the "safe" limit per AMD specification for the FX line of CPUs. The CPU should throttle at around 80C and shut down to avoid damage at 90C.
That being said, running close to the limit isn't always a good idea. Then again, IF only prime95 give you that kind of temperature, you're probably safe as it is not much of ordinary stuff that loads the CPU like prime does.
Surely one would be safe running a CPU within 10-15 degrees of it's max thermal capacity? Wouldn't the manufacturers design it appropriately so that they do not introduce premature death of their products, which would thus cause a bad reputation, basically what would not be good business practice in the long run?
Anyway, I have been testing this with my laptop, so far it's been running folding operations for the last 7 days straight averaging 75 degrees Celsius. It throttles at 80, and according to intels site, it will shut down at 90 degrees. I haven't had that happen, even when running folding operations + a maxing out the IGPU with a game at the same time, usually hitting 80 degrees, then the fan ramps up like crazy. Laptop specs in my profile if anyone is interested.
