RedLemon Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I was wondering if I could use the 8 metal washers that the cooler came with to support the backplate as mine was "loose" My idle temps (non OC): Core 1: 30c Core 2: 32c Core 3: 27c Core 4: 29c I am using the i7 3770k, are these temps normal?

DevBiker Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The backplate is typically "loose" until you mount the cooler. Is the cooler loose at all? Does it have any wiggle? If not, then you are good. And those temps, by themselves, are fine, assuming that your ambient temp is around normal "room temperature". Do you know your ambient temperature? Your coolant temperature? A "good" idle CPU temperature will have more to do with ambient temp and coolant temp ... and the deltas from ambient.
