CPU HEAT???

I am running a AMD Fx 8350 with a corsair h55 water cooler and i am hitting the 65c mark while rendering video. (sony movie studio 13)
I am rendering through CPU and not GPU.

Is 65c to hot for a long render or is it ok??

Also will rendering through GPU (GTX 970 be better)??

65 is apparently the limit. Based on a quick Google I think that's a bit high. I would probably reseat the heatsink, or maybe put a better heatsink/fan on it.

If you can render with GPU that will take some load off the CPU.

I have a liquid cooler on my CPU... But found out that rendering vie the Graphic card (GTX 970) is a lot better and faster so I will be doing a benchmark test on that tonight as I will be doing video's once a month now.

I would agree with Tim regarding getting a better cooling solution.

Don't get the "liquid cooler" term fool you into thinking that these AIO sealed liquid cooler would be better than a good HSF solution.
Corsair H55 is pretty much at the lower limit of cooling solutions for the 8350. It's a "quiet" model after all.

I thought Sony Vegas has problem detecting Maxwell architecture as CUDA-enabled card. Glad to see Sony has finally support the GTX 900 series.

Nope No cuda support... Spent all day tying to figure out way and Sony just states that CPU is better so they just don't care enough to make it comparable.

I got a trial of adobe premier and it does support my GPU so I did a test render and it was twice as fast and about a third cooler so. Plus the software was a lot easier to use so I will be upgrading my subscription to full CC soon.

As for the Corsair H55 yes it is not top of the line but it is about all that I can fit in my case so that is what I went with.. My CPU never gets hot and I am new to video editing so I don't do it that often.

Plus I read that the asus motherboards use an algorithm to estimate heat appose to a true heat probe so they are 10-15c under what the algorithm tell you the heat is.

I used a heat gun to see the heat at the CPU and it was only 34c under full load so it was way off.

Thank you all for the information. I am going to go forward with getting adobe's full CC and ditch my sony studio 13 as the GPU accelerated render is a lot better.

I spent the last two years increasing the overclock on my Asus Maximus VI Extreme (and reading hundreds of posts and in-depth OC articles), and never heard of an algorithm. I would not assume you are running cooler.

You cannot use a temp gun to measure CPU temps. Those high temps are inside the chip, at locations of high energy density.
