Normal that temps rise a little as the paste cooks?

Just put some fresh paste on my 4790K with the U12S from Noctua. At the BIOS the temp started at 27c and is now sitting at 29-31c. Normal?

Side panels aren't on.

Sounds good. But to be sure run a bench mark like Intels or Aaida 64

Is a CPU heavy game like Witcher 3, Arma 3 or BF4 good?

Look up Intel XTU. It's a stress test directly developed by intel and you can get it from their website. Just google "Intel XTU" It's free and I use it a lot

 

Edit: Ive also found that temps in the bios seem to be a little high even on my rig. I have a 4790k cooled by an H100i and that's about what I get in the bios (with these cooking California temps too)

Was this from a cold boot? Keep in mind that a processor is at coolest from start up so it always progressively heat up from a cold boot to your normal idle temperature, normally a little more in the bios cause the clocks/volts won't drop. As already said run a good stress test and test temps that way, idle temps don't really matter

2-3C is normal fluctuation in temps generally. Also, was this temp for single core or average? If its average, you can completely disregard fluctuation. Cores can be anything between 25C and 32C at that point.
