Greetings all,

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I have a Zotac EN1060: https://www.zotac.com/gb/product/mini_pcs/magnus-en1060

I upgraded the CPU from a I5-6400T to an I7-7700T
Both CPU s have a TDP rating of 35W - so I figure the same cooling setup should provide similar results, despite the extra cores on the 7700T?

I also removed the stock thermal paste and replaced it with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Liquid Metal Thermal Compound Paste

I have the fans set to manual and on 100% - also it is a hot evening.

I'm running FIFA19 @ 2160P/60FPS


I am getting CPU core temps of between 70 and 77 degrees while the utlisation percentages on each core range from 20% to 45%

Could I get people's thoughts on the above - do you think these core temps at these utlisation levels are excessive?

Sorry if this is a silly question.

Thanks
