cpu temps and oc'ing

Hi guys, is a load temp of 50 ok for my processor? Also would it be worth investing in a cpu cooler for overclocking, and if so do you think on a matx mobo i would be alright fitting it? Thanks, Sean

I can recommend the 212+, it's a great cooler that perform just a bit behind the most expensive ones but it's very cheap.

Edit: what motherboard do you use, the 212+ is a tower cooler so it fit most motherboards but it really depends on how close to the heatsink/ram modules you got.

No prob! :)

Yes, the 212+ comes with AM2/AM3 mounting, but the problem as seen on this image is how close it's socket is to your Ram modules.

I'm !almost! positive you can get the cooler installed if you are facing the fan towards the rear. (I/O shields, the back of the case)

The 212+ is a large cooler, what case do you got?

[QUOTE="sn4k3_64"][QUOTE="swehunt"] Yes, but how did you measure the temp. 50 in prime may be great but 50 running a old game may be horrible. Yes, the AMD stock coolers will get very noisy if you push them hard.

[QUOTE="sn4k3_64"] Thank you, I was playing WIC which obviously pushes my CPU a lot, but on other games its usually reaching 48-50, and my room is getting hot as well. My motherboard is a gigabyte M61PME-S2P (socket M2) so will fit the 212+. Like I said its matx and not very roomy. sn4k3_64
