50C under load is completely normal if you are using the AMD retail HSF. It's also a function of the room temperature and the amount of case ventilation you have.

What's your case temperature?

You might try adding some more case fans and see if that helps.

Thanks for quick reply

case temp was 40C

I've got hold of couple of case fans, and made plenty
of open room around the CPU.

temp is now CPU=34 to 42C
CASE= 30 - 32C

It feels nice.
