Used CPUID Hardware Monitor. And played for about 15 minutes.
I have stock cooler and planning on changing soon. My first build so help me on this.
Can I continue gaming like this for about a month?
While photoshop etc it hits 41*C at max.
Update:Just went up to 63*C. On far cry 3
Verified answer
Having a 51°C processor temperature is absolutely normal.
First of all, AMD processors by design will run at higher temperatures than Intel.
Besides, at full load that is not a high temperature at all.
Spending $70 to over $100 on water cooling might not even lower that by 5°C.
Under Linux Mint, my AMD FX-8120 stays at 32-34°C when idle or under light load, and never went over 50°C, no matter what I did.
Right now, copy/paste from Terminal command "sensors": CPUTIN: +33.5°C sensor = thermistor
with just Firefox browser and Transmission torrent app running.
My graphics card is a ZOTAC nVidia GeForce GTX560 Ti 1GB and I have a gaming class 880W power supply and 16GB of DDR3 1600Mhz G.Skill Ripjaws X Series RAM (four x 4GB), with 2 SSD and 2 HDD in my system, PC Case is a Red Sentey Arvina Extreme Division Tower Case 6x Fan LED/ 4 x USB / Multi Card Reader / 4 x Fan Control / E-SATA / 6 x Removable Aluminum Bays / Screwless.
But I don't game on that computer, not under Linux, and not on an AMD machine anyway... (Except for maybe some Urban Terror)
I have my Intel Gaming PC for that, but I rarely ever game on that either.
nicely your terrific wager is the 8350 through fact a great sort of video games in basic terms use 2 cores some intense end video games use 4 cores besides putting that to attention the 8350 is greater perfect for destiny gaming considering that game builders will start to allocate greater cores in video games additionally the PS4 and Xbox One are making use of the 8 center shape meaning maximum laptop ports would be optimized for 8 cores the Intel processer i5 3570k is superb processer yet in basic terms has 4 cores meaning while video games do get optimized with greater cores your i5 will extremely conflict to maintain up although they're the two great alternatives yet i might pass with the FX 8320 that is purely approximately the comparable section although its clocked at 3.5 ghz and the 8350 is clocked at 4.0 ghz in case you choose for to overclock the 8320 stands out as the terrific bang on your greenback additionally for the motherboard for the AMD platform you ought to get the Gigabyte 990FX UD3 that is a great motherboard for the money overall the terrific answer is the 8350 the i5 is the winner precise now although while video games start up making use of 8 cores the i5 will conflict to maintain up as nicely that is particularly useful to to take a seem on the AMD Radeon 7870 Ghz you ought to purchase it for $two hundred and it comes with 4 unfastened video games Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinte, Crysis 3, and lots Cry 3 blood dragon in case you do get the 7870 get the HIS IceQ
games like far cry 3 etc will make it run hot
also i would recomend air cooling water cooling can leak and then there goes your whole rig up in smoke
replace it with cooler with following
ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED
should keep temps at stock speed to 40c to 45c when gaming
Yes, 51c with a stock cooler is a very safe temp range, dont be worried, and as water coolers go, thats an AM3+ platform, so i'd recommend the Antec Kuhler H20 620, or the Corsair H60, both are around 60 dollars at newegg or amazon, and they both keep cpus icy cold even overclocked. Good luck!
First of all u need to know one thing....
AMD chips usually heats a lot than intel, so this is normal.... but u should never let it heat all the time....
If it is heated up all the time, the life span of the processor will decrease...... So u better fit in a really good cpu fan and heatsink.... Also change the stock cooler...
Note : The more u cool down ur pc, the more life it will have
