Hello everyone! I recently purchased a Cooler Master Nepton 280L CPU liquid cooler with a polished CPU block. I currently have an FX 8320 on stock frequencies paired with an ASRock 990FX Fatal1ty Killer. Previously, I used Cooler Master Essential E2 and gold thermal paste, always applying just a small amount of paste in the middle of the CPU. This time, I applied it evenly across the entire CPU to test its performance.

I'm uncertain if my temperatures are optimal, and whether they could be even better than this setup?
Idle: 13 to 20°C
100% CPU load: 30-42°C
My pump operated continuously during full load, with two 120mm fans positioned in front, using a push configuration at maximum fan speed.

Thank you in advance!

These temperatures are quite favorable. The FX-8370 reaches 61-64°C during overclocking, and a range of 30-42°C is excellent—overclocking would be advisable since the chip remains stable up to 61°C.
