My F X-6300 is overheating to 70-75 C. Would this cooler keep it cool?

[Caitlin № GO Yεa!™]

I'm using the stock cooler for it, purchased the F X 6300 from New egg.
I have a spare cooler that I purchased for from my old Athlon which is much bigger than the F X-6300 stock cooler. It's the cooler master p 80.
Would it enough to cool a F X-6300?

75 is not a problem, and is pretty much expected from stock coolers. If you wish to overclock, i would recommend buying a new tower cooler, because the p80 doesn't look like it will make that much of a difference over the stock.

[_I_]

not even close
thas made for a 30-50w cpu, its $10 cooler for a reason

tx3 would be pushing a 95w cpu

try cleanign its stock cooler, pull the fan and blow it out with an aricompressor

if the fan is dead, pick up a tx3/t4 or better cooler for it

62-72c is the max for am3/am3+ cpus

I just took it the the cpu off and made sure its positioned and took off the chasis fan and blew the dust off it.

Also, I made a mistake and put the chasis fan backwards.
Would it do harm if the chasis blows inward to keep everything else cool?

I'll only have this mobo for another few weeks, gonna try and grab an am4.

dont know much about overclocking lol

so if it goes over 75 is cutting it kinda close. I dont have any thermal paste.

I made a mistake and put the chasis on backwards, would it be okay if the chasis blows inward?

Like I said above, Im planning on getting a new am4 mobo in a few weeks.

cha fan direction backward wont hurt, but not help as much as having it the correct driection
spin it around

any thermal paste is better than none

am4 borad will not work with fx cpu
it will also need ddr4 ram

Gonna snag a ryzen with it and ddr4 and a psu

My 6350 uses a CM Hyper 212 EVO with TWO fans. One didn't cut the mustard. It shouldn't go anywhere near 70c unless it's around 35c in your home or you have bad case ventilation.

[_I_]

212 with 1 fan vs 2 fans is under a 2c difference
if you have 2 fans with poor cooling, they are mismatched or low sp fans

use the stock fan or a fan with high sp on coolers/rads

I turned the chasis backwards.
It only goes up to 66 c now.

Hopefully, I'll be upgrading.

Alrighty!

You mean 2 chasis fans?

Or does that apply to psu fan and cpu fan?

Rear and top fans are always exhaust for optimal airflow, should be good to go now.

If you have a side panel intake, that helps out quite a bit with cooling and/or a second exhaust fan on top (if your case has top vents).

on the 212

sp = static pressure fans, for rads/coolers
af = air flow fans, for vents

the 212 includes a very good sp fan, if paired with a af or low sp fan on the 212 it will perform worse than with its stock fan alone

[TehSpoopyKitteh]

I would probably start worrying at 85°C or higher. The FX-6300 runs on the hot side at stock speeds.

Oddly enough the FX6300 ^ temp threshold is 70.5c.

The tower would probably shut down at that point ^, even the old Brisbane kicked the PC off at 80c-82c.

The case is an old pavilion a1210n!

It has side panels for air, and only one chasis

Need a new case though.

ohhh kk

Dont know much about that... gonna do some research on it later

Omg!

Thanks for the link!

My FX was was well over that amount!

I hope I caught it in time. Would suck if anything is damaged.

So far ive been playing gta 5 and conan these past few hours. It has reached the max temp of 66.5c

Im hoping that it remain below 70c for a while.

Ive been seeing that a lot on google about the fx can withstand over 80 c

kinda makes me feel less worried

[upcoast]

Tbh, I can't believe anyone with credibility is saying 80-85c is ok for FX cpus.

The majority of FX buyers go straight to a 212evo or alike coolers and never even use the stock cooler.

Sorry to burst your bubble but 85c is crazy for FX.
