Hi guys, recently I changed my cpu from i5 3330 3.0 Ghz to i7 2600 3.4 Ghz. The issue im having is, my idle temperature is around 47-50c.

Here's my full spec.

Proc: i7 2600
GPU: GTX 1070
RAM 16GB Kingston Hyper Fury X DDR3 1600 MHz
PSU: KCAS 500w 80+ Bronze
Case: Razer S340
Heatsink Fan: Cryorig C7

When I run triple A games such as Doom, Batman: Arkham Knight and few others, the temp goes up to almost 70 celcius and it worries me. Do remember that Im using Cryorig C7. Not a stock cooler. I've tried to reapply the thermal paste but seems like theres no luck on it.

On the other hand, I tried to power up my mom's pc by using this i7 2600 on it and it seems like the temperature is around 35 and barely hit the 40 on idle.

I was thinking to get AIO like ID Cooling or NZXT Kraken X62 but my main concern is I'm afraid the CPU temperature is still remain as of now. What should I do?

Thanks
Maul

Problem solved by resetting BIOS. Although the idle temperature is still high approx at 47c. However the temperature at full load remains below 70 even when I open up chrome, DOOM/Batman Arkham Knight & running OBS at the same time. However I might reapply the thermal paste as I think it would help to lower the temperature again. Thanks guys!
