Temps seems high with Hyper 212

[tp95112]

I just bought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo. So far its really quiet. But the temps still seems high. With the stock heat sink i was getting 45C and not with the new cooler i get 41C. Im using a Phenom X4 965 at stock clocks on a Gigabyte 990Fx UD3. Do these temperatures seems normal or higher?

Is it mounted properly?

I'm guessing you're talking about temps on max load, correct? Well, if they are, that's pretty good since the max temps for your processor are 65°C.

 

I have a Hyper 212 Plus, and my idle temps are about 27°C with an FX-8120. At max, I get around 32°C.

 

What is really important to consider are what you ambient temps are, if it's mounted properly, and how much thermal compound you have used.

I have the same CPU and cooler, I get around these temps too. Might need to try some new thermal paste, rather than the CM one to see if it makes much of a difference

Its when its just idle and on full load with small fft its 55-56  range. I used the thermal compound that come with it but i have some mx-2

Well, AMD has been known to run hot. When trying the new paste, remember to use isopropyl alcohol with tissue or toilet paper to clean off and when you can't see any more of it on the heatsink and CPU to go over it again with a lint-free cloth.

 

Can't wait to see the results!

Phenom 965 is your problem. I get 28-30c idle at 4.2 on my 2600k.

 

Maybe try undervolting or reseating the cooler. Possibly you didn't put enough thermal compound on the chip before mounting or it didn't spread enough.

I get with the same CPU/cooler combo the same result with the exception that mine is OC to 4,0 Ghz (max load 58C)(40C idle)

[tp95112]

Im going to remount it and check the temperature

[tp95112]

I remounted it with the mx-2 instead of the paste it comes with im still getting 42C on idle and on full load i get 63C

AMD thermal sensors sensors tend to be inaccurate. That could be the issue right there.

I was touching the base of the hyper 212 and it didnt feel that warm but when on full load it was pretty warm.

[Godlygamer23]

Would you say on idle, that it felt like the cooler was around 42 degrees C?

Less then 42C but on full load it felt like 60C

[Godlygamer23]

Could just be the chip itself. Are they known for running like that?

before when i first built my computer which was about a year ago the temperatures where 35 idle i cant r3emeber the load temps though. The temperatures slowlt went back up while using the stock heatsink

[Godlygamer23]

Weird.

Could it also be that the thermal paste im using is old and hard to spread. The mx-2 was purchased around a year or two ago.
