Hello all,
I have an i7 4790k with a Corsair H60 cooler
No overclock, i'm getting temps;
Idle - 30-32 degrees
But when I game (been playing Witcher 3) it quite quickly can get up to around 70 degrees
From what I gather this is pretty high since the CPU isn't overclocked and I have a cooler.
I've cleaned and reseated the cooler with new thermal paste 3 times (familiar with the process) and that hasn't changed anything really.
To get into detail a little more I have Fractal R4 case w/ window and the fan configuration is as follows, two 140mm fans as intake on the front, two 140mm fans as exhaust on the top and I have the H60 fan on the back as an intake (which seemed odd to me but it's what the H60 installation guide says).
I was contemplating overclocking at some point but these temperatures right now are a little disconcerting. I've built several PC's but am by no means a professional so i'm looking to you folks for some opinions, or ideas regarding dilemma. Thanks a bunch.
