I was gaming for 12 hours straight and I noticed my CPU temps hitting 72C on Modern warfare. It would fluctuate at the lowest 65C to the highest 72C. It also depended on the map and I found that weird. On some maps it would range from 65C to 70C. I have a total of 5 fans, 2 intakes in the front, two exhaust above, exhaust in the rear. Using a Lian Li Lancool 2 case
I would like to add and I was unaware of this at the time. When I was installing the Hyper 212 Cooler the screws would not fit I had the handles on backward. So I quickly fix it and before readjusting it. I reapplied thermal paste on the cpu. I notice when I have my fans at full speed the CPU ranges from 55C to 65C.
I'm worried if I may have introduced air bubbles due to reapplying thermal paste. I've used my gaming built for 2 days so far. Do I need to take off the thermal paste with 70 percent alcohol and re apply it again? Did the air bubbles destroy my cpu? This was my first built.
