Hello. The temperatures you mentioned are accurate. Prime 95 puts a lot of stress on FX series. The 8350 tends to overheat, so strong liquid cooling is essential when you're pushing it overclock.
VRM temperatures rise significantly on FX series, especially after removing air cooling, which might lead to overheating and potential damage. Proceed with caution.
But note: Even at 4.3GHz with stock voltage, it exceeds 60°C within a minute. That’s quite high even at stock settings. Given that the H55 matches the Evo 12 in cooling performance, why is your CPU so hot?
Also, I’ve seen someone running the 8350 at 4.5GHz with H55 and maintaining around 55°C. That seems reasonable for a Prime95 test. Many variables affect the result—cooler quality, paste condition, room temperature, humidity.
I personally reach a max of 65°C with my Corsair H100 at 1.55V and 5GHz during gaming, and 70°C in Prime95. My 8320 behaves similarly. These chips are tough to keep cool.
I question those readings since you’re operating at the highest safe voltage with a standard H100. Also, your max temp is 62°C, which is well above the safe limit you mentioned.
So, you seem to understand the situation well and don’t need further clarification.
Good luck!
Sorry if I came across as too blunt. It’s hard to accept what you’re saying.
Use the BIOS to check the temperatures...because your CPU won't cool down in just 5 seconds
