High CPU Temp

Hi guys, i recently just got a new case, liquid cooling and a few more fans, and i never really checked the temp before as i have just come into computing more seriously and learning more. I have a foxconn motherboard and the FOXONE programme shows live temp of the cpu. I put everything in correctly i just wondered why it's so high. I have two fans, one on each side of the radiator so one pulling in cold air from the back of the case and i put on on the other side pushing hot air too, i dont know if this was the right thing to do but it was advertised like that so i thought it should be. There is a fan on the front of the case pulling in cold air to everywhere and there is a vent at the top. The power supply seems to push some hot air out the top. I was just wondering about the temps and setup of the fans if anyone can help. I'm running 63oC in games with a few programs open and on idle it runs about 40oC - 47oC is this ok or high?

i7 2600k 3.4 ghz
Cooler Master Seidon 120V V3 Plus liquid cooling
Case is quite small and everything is nice and compact i dont know if this has anything to do with it.

Thanks in advance.

Yes i have removed it and placed it back on properly and i dont know how to test it at full load. Sorry.. but do the temps seem high to you? as the max on the foxone program is telling me 70 and im now at around 57 without much open..

You can run Prime95 to test your CPU at full load. 57c with not much open is definitely high for not being overclocked.

Just refitted it all. Lets hope this works. Also took the fan off the radiator that was pushing hot air into it and mounted it on the roof so warm air is been pushed out the top. Should i do In-place FFt test or small fft test?

With Prime95 I always do blend. Glad you got it working though
