Is it normal if I don't feel hot air coming out the 2 exhaust fans

Shouldn't feel hot maybe a little warm.

Hmm well just feels cool on both top and back fan maybe little warm near heat sink that's it thanks for helping me out this is my first build so that's why I'm asking so many thangs

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Arctic silver recommends the line method if you read the manual. Additionally, if you watch delidding videos and actually see what the processor looks like under the heat spreader, you'll realize a line method is quite appropriate. Think of if this way, thermal paste application is only important to a certain degree. People don't realize intel uses VERY cheap thermal interface material INSIDE of the processor, so as long as you don't put WAY too much or WAY too little, you'll be in good shape. Those idle times are good. What heat sync are you using and what are you temperatures under full load?
