Depends what you've been doing with it.

playing, mainly watching streams tho.

[the jolly roger]

if you have been using at all day, its fine specially on stock cooler, if that is idle temp you should RIOT

 

Edit: if you have been playing and watching streams its normal, consider buying a budget cpu cooler like CM Hyper 212

so for a full day use i shouldnt be worried right ?

nah, but stock cooler is ******************************************************************************, consider getting something better.......

No not at all. Only get worried at 85c+ consistently.

Yep that's about right for a stock cooler.

 

And for god's sake will everyone stop hating on the stock cooler when OP has an Intel CPU and isn't overclocking? It's designed to cool the Intel CPU it came with at stock speeds and does a great job at that. AMD are the ones with stock coolers worth complaining about.

so i just have a question for you guys and girl

should i keep my fans like this:

 

 

 

 

 

or get them like this with filter on the upper ones?

[othertomperson]

If it keeps your temps below about 80 under load for how you use it, that's ok. If it were me I'd do a stress test for a while to see what load temps get up to and consider replacing it if they got scary high, but then if it were me I would be overclocking anyway soooooo yeah.

 

And I'm sure I've already answered the fan question. Those diagrams look familiar.

well so i should be worried if im just using normal Ghz and not overclocking right ?

 

answering the fans thing:

 

you did mate, im just wondering if i should keep my fans like this or not ahah

Most people like to have the top fans as out-takes since hot air rises. I'd have both side panels, both fronts as IN, both top and the rear as OUT.

Get a hyper 212 cooler for $30. It'll keep your CPU much cooler.

That cooler has been rated for use with their CPUs at stock settings. Your CPU won't be the coolest or the quietest, but it shouldn't get hot enough to cause a problem.

 

And for the fans, I can't remember what I said but it probably had something to do with convection, positive pressure and using the side vents as intakes.

alright bro, seems that that cooler is pretty appreciated and does have a really good image, everyone recommends it! i might pick one in the next week

in other words, for a stock cooler is doing his job ?

Yeah. Under the conditions it's designed for it's fine.

Nothing will blow up, but as nerds, we like to maintain low temperatures. Not because the CPU will break if we don't, but rather 'just cuzz'. The same way that car nerds like to have a better air filter for their car. It won't make a big difference but they just like to have it. 

 

However, there is a possibility that the CPU will overheat on the stock cooler if, for example, you pin it with something intense like the latest P95 blend or IBT for extended periods of time. The stock cooler doesn't tolerate prolonged 100% load very well.

well im not overclocking it or doing nothing more than watch streams tho so yea..

Really? I was under the impression that it could cope with anything a user could potentially throw at the CPU without breaking warranty conditions (such as OCing, replacing, tampering with, etc). Simply "using it a lot" doesn't seem right. It might scream at you for doing it... I almost want you to stresstest it and tell us what your temps reached
