Yesterday i finished my first build.

 

Intel Core i7 4790K

Asus z97-A

G.skill 8gb ram 1600mhz

Coolermaster hyper 212 evo with Arctic Cooling MX-4 paste

 

Cpu keeps running on 40-50c idle. So what should i look for to make it cooler?

 

I just saw that all cores keep running at 3.9/4ghz when just looking on desktop.

At what speed are your fans running. Otherwise its not a good cooler for an i7.

Could too much Thermal paste cause this?

Yes it could but there is something else that bothers me.

 

You say it runs on 4Ghz even when idle on the desktop, that could mean one of 2 things:

 

- Lower C states/Downclocking is disabled in the bios for some reason which would explain the higher idle temps

- You have something running in the background (Be it an application or a virus) that is stressing the CPU enough to be on 4GHz all the time

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

:lol: Yeah..Yeah just steam thing popped up "Finished downloading Arma 2 OA". Cores are now @799,2 MHz

 

And Temps at solid 30c

Steam downloading made your CPU boost? WAT

It downloads and installs at the same time as well as extract (you download compressed then it needs to be uncompressed)

I get that, but never makes my CPU perform at 40c-50c xD

Diablo 3 download/install makes my laptop CPU go to 60/65C because it has a silent mode below 70C

It's an indication when you know that it idles at 40-45

 

I mean my temps also increases by 5-10C when doing a steam install
