Buy even a cheap CoolerMaster Hyper TX 3 or 212.. temps will fall massively.

Hello guys, so yesterday i bought second hand i7-3770 and im a little bit worried about the temps. The seller says it had never been overclocked, tho i suppose they all say that... So i'm using i3-3240 stock cooler (i guess all intel stock coolers are the same, but still...) with Arctic MX-2 thermal paste and i get 45c on idle and 75-80 in Witcher 3 and cinebench. Still haven't tried Prime95, because i'm too scared it will freak out and get to 90c :D 

 

I know it might be a stupid question, but is that "kinda" normal temps for this CPU? Considering the ambient temperature in my room is like 32-33c (blame summer) ?

If it is an i7-3770, and not a i7-3770K, it will not have been OC'd as they typically are not capable of that. i3 cooler will not be enough as you have more cores, more amps, and more heat in an i7.

Thanks guys for quick answers! I was searching for some better air cooler but haven't seen hyper 212 and from what I read as reviews, it's pretty nice. Gonna buy it right away and see if that will solve the problem. :)

 

 

P.S. The guy from the store conviced me that be quiet! pure rock cooler is as good as 212, but it's a lot more quiet. Turns out that i'm happy with the choice i made, now my CPU never goes over 65c even in cpu intensive games like GTAV and other new popular releases.
