Hey Guys,
I have recently decided to build a budget rig with used parts. The parts are all working fine except the CPU which is idling at 53 degrees Celsius (127.4 Fahrenheit) at stock clock. Is this a common problem with buying used cpus? I have remounted the CPU cooler twice. I used arctic silver MX4 compound (pea size amount) and I haven't achieved any better results. The computer boots up so far but I'm afraid to put any stress on it.
Is there something I can do to improve temps?
here's the part's list:
Intel Core I7 3930k
Intel DX79SR LGA2011 mobo
Cooler master Hyper 212 EVO cpu cooler
thermaltake smart 700 watt psu (80+ white)
Asus Geforce GTX 780 3 gb
8 gb kingston hyper X ram
120 gb kingston SSD
2 tb seagate hdd
3 corsair case fans (2 intake, 1 exhaust)
