i5 3570 temps

[sirsleepzalot]

hi all !

 

i just installed a i5 3570 into my living room PC. i ran a game of bf3 to see what temps i get on a stock cooler.

(using HWmonitor) on the package temps i got 90c.. idk if thats a good temp for a stock cooler lol

stock fan is installed corrected. i used artic silver thermal paste. got rid of the intels stock paste.. so

idk if i should be seeing high temps like that. or is ivy bridge just hot

that is incredibly high, you probably did something wrong

[LogicalDrm]

You should be getting something like 75C with stock cooler. Check and reseat cooler. How temps are while idle/BIOS?

[sirsleepzalot]

bios reads 57c and idle is around 50c-55c ... yeah idk its confusing. maybe it takes awhile for the thermal paste to kick in lol

[SpyRosL]

That is definitely not normal. You should be getting 55-65C on gaming load with the stock cooler.(unless you have an ambient of 45C lol)

 

Re-seat your cooler.This stupid plastic notches tend to break easily causing the heatsink not to kame good contact with the cpu

yeah im gonna readjust the stock heat sink... and reapply the artic silver thermal paste.

(i heard ivy bridge is hot but i thought haswell was "have i5 4670k") but not 90c under full load hot lol
