My CPU currently idles at 40-45C and during 100% load goes to around 80-88. Before i installed a coolermaster hyper 212 they went to 90+

I just cant seem to figure out why they are going so high, this is causing microstutter in all my games due to hyper throttling and is a real pain. Ive bought a new psu and nothing has changed.

Please can anybody reccomend anything??

I have used artic silver paste on the cpu and cooler.

GTX 970
SEASONIC 620W PSU
16GB SAMSUNG RAM
ASUS PBZ68-LV
INTEL I7- 2600 @3.4GHZ 3.8 TURBO.

1. Where are you getting these temps from? A more accurate temperature measuring program is HW Monitor

2. Try testing 100% load with Aida64 and see the temperatures you get.

3. Sometimes it make go up to 86 but it...

That does sound rather high. Check to make sure your mbd BIOS is up to date, sometimes an out of date BIOS can result in erroneous sensor readings.

For reference, my 5GHz 2700K idles at 31C with a Corsair H80, rarely goes over 70 under gaming loads.

How can i check if BIOS is up to date. I dont think they have been updated since 2011.

3. Sometimes it make go up to 86 but it might go to 86 for a very short while and it really is not noticeable nor harmful so keep an eye on the current temperature on the aida 64 and see if it goes above 80C.

4. If these still show those temps consistently you may want to consider re apply better thermal paste properly and remounting it properly and try to increase airflow by cable management or adding additional fans.

Real Temp and AIDA64 on a stability test.

I havnt updated BIOS ever myself so im thinking that may be my next step??

I cant actually beleive my cpu is as hot as it is saying as it does not feel it

Honestly your temps aren't really going to do any serious damage ... Its just that if you are above 80C for hours on a daily basis thats when your life span will decrease but not a significant decrease. If you are on aida64 and most of time your temperatures are under 80C most of the time you are honestly fine.

Here is a helpful checklist that came from a corsair forum. It's for a liquid cooler, but most of the points apply.
1. Are you sure you mounted it correctly?
I realized I had used the AMD retention bracket mounts (one screw hole) instead of the Intel mounts (two screw holes, one for socket LGA1156 and LGA1366). MAKE SURE you are using the correct mount.

2. Is the mount ON TOP OF the retention bracket?
During installation I had put the retention bracket mount UNDER the retentention bracket. This caused a 1-2mm gap between the base of the CPU and the base of the cooler. From top to bottom, the order should be as follows:
H50
Retention bracket mounts
Retention bracket
CPU
Motherboard
Backplate

3. Are your backplate screws in all the way?
Make sure your screws are aligned perfectly and push that screw all the way in.

4. Has the thermal compound smeared outside of the CPU base?
If it has, just clean it up with a tissue. Careful not to touch the CPU. I recommend using latex gloves during this process.

5. Is air blowing to the INSIDE of the case?
Reason being is that the radiator will get washed over by cool air as opposed to being washed over with warm air from within your case.

6. Is your H50 firmly in place?
Don't be afraid to use your hand and apply some force on the H50 to make sure it is firmly in place. If it moves around even a little bit, make sure you've mounted it correctly and that your screws are all the way in.

I believe this is causing microstutter in my games? my microstutter occurs mostly when my games reach 85% load on the cpu

What is the voltage at?

On aida64 on stability test the cpu core is at 1.2

Ok some solid evidence for us to work with. Your CPU is throttling as you can tell by the red line on the bottom and it states your CPU is overheating. I can see your temps are reaching 97C and when it was throtting it was probably even higher.

This is very unusual for a Hyper 212Evo, Did you try the solution we gave before? Remounting and Reapplying thermal paste? I use Arctic MX-4 and it gives me nice temps on my overclocked i5 4690K and your CPU is not overclocked so you should really be fine.

If these don't work go to your BIOS and check the Voltage of your CPU.

After re doing everything mate here are my temps under full load, however i didnt use nowher near as much Thermal paste as the lady in the vid??? should i re do

However my pc is Idle at around 40-43C. But max 63C 100% LOAD. Am i being picky about the idle temps???

I have no way of accurately figuring it out mate but id say between 16-20C
Do you think i should try re doing the thermal paste but with the pea sized ammount. I used a lot less

Yeah redo it. Less is better so that the heat can easily transfer to the cooler. Clean the surfaces with some rubbing alcohol and apply the paste. Then make sure that cooler is seated firmly. It shouldn't move at all.
The point of thermal paste is to make sure there is no air getting in between. Too much will act like an insulator.
