Hyper 212 Evo Temps?

[aricleather]

I'm guessing that the thermal paste just needs time to spread, but in the BIOS (wiped the HDD haven't installed OS on SSD yet) I'm getting about 37-39c idle! This was the case with my stock cooler but in about a week it began idling at 33-35c. For reference, I spent about 5 minutes (with a new cloth every 1 minute... yeah) cleaning the CPU with 70% Isopropyl alcohol. I didn't see anything left on the CPU after that. Then I put a pea sized drop in the middle. While I was pulling it back out a little bit of thermal paste made a little dot next to the pea shape, but I just continued to install the cooler. Let me say the Hyper 212 Evo has the shittiest mounting system ever. Regardless, it works. The fan is currently in push. I tried it in pull for a couple minutes with no improvement. I just like push better.

 

Anyway, is this normal on a 4690k? Can this be compared to 4670k's? Does the TIM need time to spread from the heat?

 

Thanks for your help. Just a bit worried. As of now, my stock cooler had better idle temps. If anyone's owned a Hyper 212 Evo I'd like to know what's happening.

 

Ambient temp is 22.5c.

 

EDIT: They've now moved down to the 35-37c range... guess it just takes some time to settle in. Still seems a bit high to me, though.

 

*EDIT: Ah, this makes me feel better... I just went through some builds with 4670k + Hyper 212 Evo on PCPartPicker. The temps I get are pretty normal... Thank god.

Seems normal enough.

 

EDIT: Something like a gaming load would mean more to us.

Idle temps don't really matter. Load temps are important. 

 

My CPU idles at around 45C right now (it's over 30C in my room) but doesn't go over 75C on full load, so it's fine. If you're below 90C you're fine.

I'll try Prime95 and AIDA64 when I get an OS installed. Hope I see an improvement in load temps. Just worried about idle temps...

Seems normal. Its idle + BIOS. Neither means much unless they are over 50C which would indicate problem with mounting.

This is alot better now. My worries are over. Seems the cooler, the thermal paste, everything went right. I woke up this morning and on desktop with nothing running was idling at a cool and quiet 29c. I'm about to try some stress tests. Hope they go well.

What temperatures did you getting in stress test?
