Hello all 
I've often come to this site for advice but this is my first time making a post.
Firstly my ambient room temp is about 22c. I recently installed a Hyper 212 EVO for my 3570k cpu (stock clocks). My idle temps are around 30-32c and I did a 100% load test with BurnInTest for 10mins and the hottest core reached 52c. I use HWiNFO64 to monitor my temps. Do these temps roughly appear to be correct for this cooler? I also have 6 case fans (3 pull (2 front, 1 side), 3 push (2 top, 1 back)). The reason why I ask is because it was my first time installing a custom cpu cooler so I was a little unsure about things. I had cleaned the old thermal paste off, reapplied fresh paste, and then fully seated the cooler and tightened it up but then thought I did it wrong (due to misreading the instructions) so I took it off again almost instantly and reseated it. After having done that I did some research and found out that if you take it off you should definitely remove the thermal paste and reapply it, which I did not...So I'm a bit worried about air bubbles. But before I go through the trouble of reseating it and reapplying the paste I was just wondering if my temperatures sound about right for this cooler and cpu combo. Or if I would benefit from reapplying the paste again. Ideally in the future I want to overclock to 4.1/4.2ghz and hoping not to exceed 70c.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you
