Hyper 212 EVO not doing much?

Hey... I have a Hyper 212 EVO that I just got, and this is my first time installing an after market CPU cooler. I cleaned my surface using the ArtiClean thermal remover kit and put on a pea size drop. The 212 moved a ton when I tried to install so I remover it, cleaned it, applied new paste and tried again. Now that I'm on my computer, I have the fan running at full speed and the temps are about the same as before. Is this my 212's fault? Did I screw up the thermal paste? Do I need more fans?

Thanks

What temp is it running at? Try stress testing it with heavyload then check temp

Might just need to snug it down a bit more. I had to crank mine a little tighter than I was comfortable with in order for it to set.

 

Also what paste did you use? Some of them need a cure time before they're 100% effective.

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

Thermal compound was included in the box, they are pretty tight. Used Prime95 and got 43C vs the older 46C.

What separates men and boys is when overclock big time. When the temp hits 60*C+ even with custom loop. Then you see the big difference between good and average coolers.

the evo has screws bottom out so don't be scared to tighten the screws all the way which is what your supposed to do. Make sure all 4 screws are bottomed out completely and remember a star pattern so it spreads easily. Also what are you using ? AMD or intel

It's really not 43C... It depends on the program I use. Amd cpus never give the right temperature... Some programs say 80 some day 40. It's confusing

I use AMD- I didn't bottom the screws. I'll do that. Thanks
