Brand new build, high CPU with CM Hype 212 EVO!

[Mr_Assault]

I just finished building a new gamin rig and noticed the high temps on my CPU. Now my skill in building PCs are 3 out of 10. This is my 2nd build in my life and the first was nothing but stock items. I'm posting pics of the setup and how the thermal paste looked like when I removed the CM Hyper 212 EVO. I am considering using the stock CPU fan in the mean time while I get some answers.

My rig:
CPU - Intel G3258
CPU Cooler - CM Hyper 212EVO
Mobo - MSI Z97 PC Mate
GPU - XFX 270X
PSU - XFX 550w
RAM - 8GB G Skill
HDD - Sagate 1TB

Here are the pictures:

Any feed back will greatly be appreciated. I'm just scared I'll break my new build :/

The thermal paste application looks to be too much. way too much. Is that what you put on?

Check your core temps with this: http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/
Try to use Celsius. More folks are familiar with that.

What is it you are worried about?

 

[Mr_Assault]

I would say that speedfan is reading incorrectly. That temp would melt your CPU. But the thermal paste application looks to be too much. way too much. Is that what you put on?

That's why I'm panicking and turned it off 262F scared the crap out of me. I did put on the paste and yes that is what I put on. Should I re-apply the paste for both heatsink and CPU? I'll use the program you mentioned once I correct this thermal paste.

I changed my post. I first thought I read that as 262C, not 262F. Still 262F or 127C is too warm. You may have too much TIM applied. That will cause the heat transfer to be retarded instead of increased. Clean it off and just use a pea size dab in the center of the CPU. Let the pressure and heat spread it.

But let's see what Real Temp shows.

Sorry I misclicked and give you the answer 🙁

I removed the thermal and re applied in a small amount. Installed RealTemp.

and saw the results which seem to be the same as SpeedFan. http://imgur.com/nqOGS6w

90F. I've seen a few installation videos and I've done almost the same steps as a few.

I did built this PC just a few hours ago. Tomorrow I'll remove the brackets and try with the stock HSF to see if that changes anything. But at the moment I do no t know why I have such high degree. Could it be my fans or lack of?

**EDIT** I went to the BIOS and Removed smart fan on CPU fan and one of the System Fan.This increased the RPM greatly to 2000RPM or around so. Still the same temp as before low 90s.

That is really strange. The temps should not be anywhere near those numbers. Yes, re-install the stock fan and let's get some numbers with that as a base point. Run the RT sensor test too.

I unselected the best answer for you.

 

[Mr_Assault]

Sorry for the late reply.

Ran the sensor test and used the stock fan when I did and here are the results. Mind you I did not add any thermal paste. I used the stock paste that was included with in the stock heatsink. I did remove all thermal paste prior to installing the stock heatsink.

Here are the pictures of the test results. Also I don't know what test to do so I did the default blend.

The average temperatures have been around 130 - 145F at idle prior to running the test.

I looked up online the average temps with stock should be around 93F with stock cooler and that's overclocking! I reach that at stock speed. Could it be the mobo or CPU chip? Or me messing up with the thermal paste?

Right now I'm letting it cool before I attempt to use the CM Hyper 212 EVO

Wow! I've never seen that high of temps at stock speed before. It sure seems like you are either doing something wrong or there is a problem with the MB/BIOS temps sensing. That dual core at stock should idle ~mid-high 30Cs. Load temps should be ~low 70Cs... max.

Are you sure the stock cooler is securely mounted? Check to see if one or more of the 4 push pin feet are not completely through the motherboard. Look behind it and see if the black posts are spreading the white fingers out and clipping them behind the board.

Start over. Remove the old thermal paste with isopropyl alcohol or some of this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CN6ZtNTimMACFQwEaQodm1sAzA&Item=N82E16835100010&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Thermal+Compound+%2f+Grease-_-N82E16835100010&ef_id=U@FajAAAAfSaLYyw:20140816215321:s
Then put a small pea-sized dot of thermal paste on the CPU. I use this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186038&cm_re=mx-4-_-35-186-038-_-Product

You should get the temps issue solved with the stock cooler before moving on to the aftermarket one.
