A70 temperatures

[Dvander77]

Hi, I'm new to building computers, and was very happy when I got my first build up and running.

I have recently decided to ditch the wimpy intel heatsink and I bought a corsair A70 on sale.

I have seen an increase of temperatures, with my intel heatsink idling at around 32 degrees, and my corsair idling at around 35 degrees.

Is this normal? I have not seen the temperatures of it on load however, it was just something i noticed ( I installed it not long ago)

*update*

playing starcraft it goes up to 65 degrees. much higher.
