badcuban Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I just got a new h100i for my system and lately i started looking at my CPU temp and im not sure if it is normal that on idle is it 38-42C. I have a 350D Case with a maximus vi gene motherboard and intel i5-4670k processor. I thought that it was because i put too much thermal paste so i opened it up and cleaned it out and re applied thermal paste but i keep getting the same temperatures. With RealTemp 3.70 i get a minimum of 37-40 C and Max of 43C on idle. During stress test one of the cores got to 67C max and the others only to 60C. I was wondering if this is normal or is something wrong? Should i try reapplying thermal paste once again? Here is a screenshot of my build on idle. The ambient temperature is about 25 - 26C. http://i.imgur.com/Z2X4Zi5.jpg?1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 is the backplate on properly?,,with the 2 little niches facing the top?this causes higher idle temps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badcuban Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 hmm... im looking at the backplate and u might be right, i think they are to the side.... im not sure that u mean by the two little niches tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODedAssault Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 We see this so often. Maybe they should start putting a big red warning sticker on the backplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwisatzhaderach Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Why is there such a speed difference between your fans? Are they not on the radiator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripshod Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Why is there such a speed difference between your fans? Are they not on the radiator? From the screenshot the 2 fans at the top would be paired with the cooler temp. The 2 front fans and the radeon fan are contolled by the GPU temp.
