i think i put a crapload of thermal paste on my cpu... on a 360mm rad the heat is 45 degrees in singapore..

 

normal?

 

if it is normal then my overload of gooo did not ruin it

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

You only want a thin layer of paste on any given chip.

Depending on your ambient temperature, normal temps should be around 30C.

You shouldn't put so much on the chip, a pea-sized blob will suffice.

Idle temps don't really matter.

They might be high due to your cooler drawing warmer air from inside the case as opposed to fresh air from the outside.

When you see people posting 28-35C idle temps, remember that they have nice, cool 22-25C room temp going on. Increasing room temp will increase idle as much. Yours might be alright. How are load temps?
