Upgrade to PII 965 (sangria)

The only way to answer that question is for you to try. Every CPU is different.

Here is my last setup :

OC 3800 + 1.4000V (manual)
Max Core Temp : 58
Max CPU Temp : 50

Looks . good except your mem is running 1333 CL11. You should try to get that tightened up and running around 1600 if you can. What is the SPD for that set?

Your core temps and socket temps are still too hot. Guessing you didn't change anything cooling-wise yet.

mm. Thank you for the quick response. I purchased AMD FX 8350 cooler which has faster fan and it came with the pre paste. So I wasn't expecting to get that much heat with the FX Original Fan.

Well, AMD has been using the same basic heat sink design for the past 10 years (or maybe more). So, the FX-8350 heat sink will perform about the same as the original Phenom II X4 heat sink. They also used it on the Phenom II X6 processors if I'm not mistaken. It also shipped with AM2 and AM2+ processors in the 100-140W TDP range. I've also heard the same heat sink used to ship with dual-core Opteron's and Athlon X2's back in 2005-2008.

So, that same heat sink design has been around for a long time with very few changes (higher speed fans, some were 25mm thick fans, some were slim 15-20mm fans, some of the heat sinks were taller with more mass but the same overall characteristics). Some were manufactured by AVC, some by Cooler Master, some by Foxconn, plus a few other manufacturers besides. Some had Nidec-branded fans, some were AVC fans, some were Delta-branded, and there were others, those are just a few I can think of off the top of my head.

I have one that sits next to my desk for when/if I need to test out an AMD processor or board quickly and don't want to take the time to mount an aftermarket cooler, it's an older AM2/AM2+ design (taller heatsink, slimmer fan).
