8350 oc temp problem
Hello everyone, I'm just starting out with overclocking and recently tried boosting my FX8350 to 4.5ghz. After a full hour of testing with AIDA64, it failed to reach 54°C. However, when playing CS:GO, my CPU temperature spikes to 60-70°C. Since AIDA64 is more demanding for my CPU, I wasn't sure what was going wrong. Are these temperatures normal?
Meretovski1907 is a newcomer to overclocking. He recently boosted his FX8350 to 4.5ghz but encountered issues when running AIDA64 for an hour—his CPU never reached 54°C. When playing CS:GO, his CPU temperature spikes to 60-70°C. He suspects the AIDA64 might be too demanding for his CPU, which is puzzling since it should be more intensive. He wonders if these temperatures are normal.

Your temperatures are within acceptable ranges. For thermal analysis, OCCT-Small Blocks is preferred, while OCCT- Large works better for stability. They use OCCT-LINPACK for thermal checks, but Small Blocks consistently shows the highest readings.
He also notes that stability testing can be done as much as desired, but performance under real conditions matters most.
Intel burn test indicates the maximum achievable temperature. For instance, during stress tests with AIDA, my temperature climbs to about 66-70, while Intel's burn test reaches the 80s. Don't be concerned, your temperature remains within acceptable limits.
What temperature should you be concerned about? I believe the ADA temperatures are typical, but why do I see such a high value in CS Go?

When playing CS:GO, his CPU temperature spikes to 60-70°C. Despite knowing AIDA64 should be more demanding, he remains below 85°C. He suggests using OCCT-Small Blocks for thermal checks and OCCT- Large for stability, noting that OCCT-LINPACK is used for thermal testing but Small Blocks gives the highest readings. He emphasizes that performance under real applications matters more than peak temperatures.
Thanks for the answer. What should be the maximum temperature I shouldn't worry about? I believe AIDA temps are normal, but why do I have such a high temp on CS GO? It's really hard to say. Because you're less likely to damage your CPU due to high temperatures (80-90), but lifespan might degrade over time. Personally, for me it's 85-90 during OCCT or IBT test and 75-85 during gaming. I use HWmonitor to monitor temperature. Also, I don't really like AIDA; what I do is run IBT for 10-15 minutes to check the highest possible temperatures before playing CPU-intensive games. Before using AIDA, I could run it for many hours without issues, but then it would crash in games after about 20 minutes.

It’s tough to say clearly. The risk of harming your CPU due to high temps (80-90) is low, but the lifespan might still decrease over time. For me, 85-90 during OCCT or IBT tests and 75-85 during gaming works well. Tools like HWmonitor help track the temperature. I also don’t really enjoy AIDA; I usually run IBT for 10-15 minutes to check peak temps before playing demanding games. Before using AIDA, I could play for hours without issues, but after 20 minutes it would crash in games. I noticed the same with AIDA64. For me, it’s acceptable if temperatures spike above 80°C but stay below 85°C during high thermal tests. Above 85°C is outside my comfort zone. During OCCT, a nice graph in the print shows spikes over 80°C or a consistent trend above that level.
