I believe you have not applied your thermal paste properly. Either that or your CPU cooler is failing....

Not true... I bought my G-Power BL at only RM130 which is cheaper than ALL the forumers here selling gigabyte heatsinks

Btw, I think there really is no point going for G-Power Pro unless you need the fan speed controller. Don't worry about the sounds coming from G-Power BL, its really quiet... well to me la. haha... and if its a lil loud for u, then u can use the fan speed controller cable which reduced it to 1700rpm from 2000rpm.

Not really sure about Neon 8 but idling at 50°C for your AMD is definitely hot. Back when I used stock cooling is idle at 44°C Maybe its ur casing air flow. Your fans are not placed properly or smtg? You know what.. I think right, if you're just a normal game user not gonna overclock or anything, no point going for so high aftermarker cooling. The reason why I got my G-Power was becoz I wanna try OC my AMD..
