My Build:
CPU: i5-8600k
GPU: Gigabyte 1060 G1 Gaming
CPU Cooler: H7 Cryorig
Case: Thermaltake Versa C22
Mobo: Asus Z370-E
Case Fans: 120mm exhaust that came with chassis
All settings are at the defaults from box. The Versa C22 has pretty terrible airflow and I am going to be swapping it out with a Meshify C in the next week along with an extra 120mm fan as exhaust since that case only comes with three.
My current temperatures:
The CPU runs at 30 - 35 C while on light loads such as chrome or just idling. When doing some gaming (7DtD, RimWorld, Divinity OS, etc) it's getting into the 50's-70's . The ambient temperature is around 21 C. I'm using the cpu monitor from Alcpu.
Concerns:
This is my second build, first of which I've had to add the thermal paste myself. I know the overall airflow in the case is a huge factor as well as the lack of intake fans but I'm wondering if I did something wrong with the CPU Cooler/Thermal Paste application (I used pea method which was more like half a peanut).
I've read around about the i5's different operating temps with the H7 and bench test findings but would really appreciate a second, and probably better, opinion than my own.
I'll update in the next week or so when the new case and fans come.
