CPU Temps curiosity with Node 202

Go to solution Solved by flibberdipper,

It's normal. Hell my Pentium is cooled by an H115i (212 EVO couldn't tame it and #FutureUpgrades) and my lowest idle temps are in the high 20s with loads in the high 50s.

First of all, hi everyone and thanks in advance,

 

my name is Marco and I decided to build the second computer of my life and I'm having a question about CPU temperatures. Here are the specs, so that I can explain better later on:

 

Case: Fractal Design Node 202 with Integra 450W PSU;

Motherboard: Gigabyte Ga-H270N-WiFi;
CPU: Intel i5-7500;

CPU Cooler: Cryorig C7;

RAM: 1x8GB Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR4;

SSD: Crucial MX300 M.2 Sata, 275GB;

HDD: Hitachi Travelstar 1TB 2.5 7200RPM;

Graphics Card: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6GB Windforce

Fans: Two Fractal Design 120mm PWM fans. Sorry I can't remember the name.

I think that's all. So now, I want to describe the "problem" that I have. I'm having higher CPU temps than I was expecting with an aftermarket CPU Cooler. AIDA64, at idle, gives me a reading of around 34°C (about 93° F). Now, I know that this is not that bad and I know that the case is actually really small so temps can be tricky to handle, but, still, given that I have something like 20°C (68° F) in my room I think that it's too high. I checked the CPU Cooler and it's not moving or anything (of course the fan is moving, I mean the actual cooler is sitting still over the CPU) and I think I applied the right quantity of thermal paste (the one provided by the CPU Cooler). Cable management is as good as it can be in such a tiny case. I tried to run AIDA64 stress test for 10 minutes and the max temperature that I got was 57°C (134°F). That, again, is not disastrous, but higher than what I was expecting. GPU temps are actually pretty good, so no problem there. Is there anyone that can explain such readings? Am i being paranoid for no reason? Sorry if I made any mistake but I'm actually Italian, so my English might be not perfect. If this is a silly question I'm sorry. Thanks again, I hope someone can give me an advice.

I have a huge tower cooler and a big case and good ventilation, but my temps are very similar, about 30 C idle and 60-70 while gaming

You are fine

Thanks, that was fast! Now I'm more calm. Being my second build I was a bit worried.  Thanks again everyone
