Hey everybody, I was wondering what the i5 6600k average temps are?

Idle and on load.

I currently have a cryorig h7 air cooler, but I'm not sure if i installed the thermal paste right, because it was my first time building the computer, and i messed up installing the cpu fan back mount, so thermal paste got all over, and i had to re adjust it... I didn't bother cleaning it and re doing it, I just smushed it on top with thermal paste all over.

Anyways I am getting around 30c idle and 60c when fully load gaming

Does this sound right even with my cpu cooler?

Or should I be getting better temps?

Thank you

Your temps are fine as long as its not above 75° C under load ( would make me feel a bit uncomfortable)
And for the future: Apply thermal paste in the size of a pea to your Cpu ( differs when you have a bigger CPU )
