I recently purchased a computer pre-built from cyberpowerpc.com and have had it up and going for about a week now. I purchased an aftermarket cpu cooler (noctua NH-D14) and installed it myself. I used the noctua thermal paste that they included with the cooler and applied it with the small rice size method, as i read that it was the best for this cpu. Since then I overclocked to 4.0 ghz without touching the vcore voltage. After that I started watching the temp of my cpu and it idles at 35-38 degrees celcius and while running Intel Burn Test it runs at around 60-66 degrees celcius. Are these temps normal for this cpu? I have read online about people having there 2500k idle in the high 20s and never go past 50 under heavy load. Any help or advice is much appreciated, as I really don't know a whole lot about cpu's. Thanks in advance!
