CM Seidon 120v 60-70°C Idle.

[Nate R]

Okay i recently got the Cooler Master Seidon 120v V.2, and my CPU is a AMD X4 860K Overclocked to 4.00Ghz. My Case only has 2 fans at the front. And of course the fan attached to the radiator at the back. CPUID HWMonitor PRO says my CPU is staying into the 60-70s Area. I installed it correctly. Does the thermal paste need to cover the whole cpu? Shall i get a refund and get the Hyper Evo 212?

CM Hyper 212Evo is not going to be as good as that one. Make sure it's mounted right, with right amount of paste. Also try using AMD Overdrive for temperature and other checks.

Hey man, i reinstalled it and redone the paste. Everythings going fine now.

Good, it shouldn't have no problem with that processor, even if overclocked.

Okay cool, What GPU shall i pair with my CPU?

Not really sure what you prefer but something in the order of GTX 960 or R9 370 or Rx 470 at most. Anything higher and CPU will be a bottleneck.

Think i'm going to pick the RX 470. Oh and AMD OverDrive is not showing me my Temperatures.

Good pick.
