Hi everyone I am new to this forum.
I recently bought a FX 8120 and upped the multiplier to 18 for 3.6ghz and did not need to change the stock v from 1.1875 or something like that. I am getting temps of about 37 in windows and about 48 when doing things and my fans are on high speed and set to increase rpm when it gets to set degrees. I am wondering if my CPU or my Heatsink are faulty. I have thermal paste en-route to check if its a seating issue, and I have more ram on the way as my current ram is too tall for the second heatsink fan. I have the Thermaltake frio advanced heatsink with air blowing out of it, and I have a 20cm fan blowing cool air in from the side and one from the front, i have a 12cm fan at the bottom blowing air in and the there are 3 fans 2 top and 1 back blowing air out. I was wondering if my CPU temps are too high as when I run prime95 at 3.8ghz I am hitting about 55-60 degrees.
BTW this is a new build and first time OCing. I have no more money till march so if you say I need I may need to know links
Thanks for any help.
