i5-4570 Bios Temps High

[RyanPalmerTV]

Hi, I just installed my new i5. I noticed my fan not sitting super tight like on my other Intel build(i3-2120 stock heatsink) And then I noticed my bios temps are 45-50 on stock heatsink and fan. Is this bad? Also, on start up, the fan will try to spin, then stop, and again, and again. But in bios it runs fine.

You will want to try reseating the cooler, but you have no thermal paste I suppose? Is this a stock cooler? My friend's 3570K gets 40-42C on it.

As long as it doesn't go over 80 in Aida 64

I figured it out, bios had the CPU fan speed set really low, set it to normal, now at 37-45 in bios

is the cpu on stock settings?

reseat the heatsink

Make sure the fan is plugged into the cpu_opt fan header

make sure thermal compound is applied

make sure you pushed all the 4 pins down when securing the cooler
