3770k + H60 Worries

Hi everyone, I´m new here and this is my first post. Excuse me if I don´t use English too well, I´m from Spain.

 

My case is a CM Storm Enforcer with a front 200mm fan as intake and an upper 200mm fan taking air out of the case. And most cables are hidden, so I think I have a good airflow.

 

Yesterday I received my shiny brand new H60, and after a first attemp mounting it I had to replace its TIM because I scattered it. So I bought some TIM and finally installed it. I think it´s all in place... I put H60 (as Manual said) in the back, taking air in.

 

Today I´ve made some tests with HWMonitor, Everest and Asus AI Suite II, using also Prime95 (Max temp test).

 

-At Idle (while I´m writing this post) the temperature due to HWMonitor is:

Core 0 - 31ºC

Core 1 - 33ºC

Core 2 - 28ºC

Core 3 - 25ºC

Package - 33ºC

 

And due to Asus AI Suite II - CPU - 25ºC

 

-Running Prime95 in Large FFT´s, after 10 minutes:

 

HWMonitor:

Core 0 - 72ºC

Core 1 - 79ºC

Core 2 - 75ºC

Core 3 - 74ºC

Package - 79ºC

 

Asus AI Suite II: CPU - 57ºC

 

My concern is that I think it´s running too hot, my 3770k is at stock speed. But I don´t know if I have to believe Asus program or HWMonitor... And I mounted my H60 three times, assuring myself that all is in place.

 

Thank you very much in advance, hope I can get this fixed.

 

Greetings!

Hi, thanks for the answer, the paste I used is a random no-trademark one, certainly, the only one the shop had today. But almost 80ºC seems a bit too much for me, printed on H60´s box it says "61,2ºC @ 4.6Ghz"...

 

yes but which cpu was it rated with?.this would make a big difference.

but i agree the temps could certainly be better

paste isnt worth skiming on,i get a good paste and go from there

but you wont acheive 4.6 with this cooler/cpu ,the 3770 is just too hot

It is printed a 3770k... But well, I´m not planning on OC, just leave it at stock, the only thing is that 79ºC measure... I think if I put it wrong that temp would be a lot higher, am I right?

most certainly improper application will result in poor heat transfer

you can have too much or not enough and have poor results.

 

Sure. I´ve just re-remounted everything and going to try again...

 

-Meh, 79-80ºC peak. Don´t know what to do.

In Prime95 temp runs crazy (79/80ºC), but 45 minutes more or less in Bf4 only made a small peak of 73ºC, always at 68ºC. I´ll keep testing and putting MX4 paste in case it´d help.

 

Thank you very much for keeping up reading my whines! ;)

 

Greetings.
