intel i5 4570 temperature question

[Scalytank]

Hello! I have a question about 4570 i5 temperatures, and Haswell temperatures in general.

I have an i5 4570 cpu (stock voltage, and frequency), with a hyper 212 evo cooler. My ambient temps are around 26-28 celsius. I am currently running prime95 (small fft) with the following results:

prime ran for 30 minutes:

cpu temp: 69c (max 69)

core 0: 67 (max 70)
core 1: 69 (max 70)
core 2: 68 (max 70)
core 3: 65 (max 67)
package: 69 (max 70)

I have installed the cooler first with a lot of thermal paste, but today I reseated it with much less (grain of rice). It had the same temperatures before reseating too. (maxed at 70).

I have also ran prime 95 blend test, it maxed around 59-61 celsius, but ran average 55-56 celsius.

Should I be concerned about these temps? Or remount the cooler again? (I considered it taking to a professional, because I am quite a noob assembling pc's).

Thanks in advance!

Scalytank.

Core temperatures in the mid 70's are fine. Set your mind at ease. Give this a read: Intel Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1808604/intel-temperature-guide.html

I missed this post, Very helpful! Thanks for your answer! (I am a little paranoid about cpu temps, that I did something wrong, put too much/little tim, etc...)

Edit: I actually ran the latest prime95, which gave me 10celsius more than version 26.6... plus substracting 5 celsius (27 celsius ambient), my effective temps are 55 celsius! I guess I did nothing wrong then during heatsink installation 😀
