New cpu. Temperature question.

[Vetsku]

Hello guys.

I got a new processor and a cpu cooler yesterday. (Intel i5 4690k and a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo). I have a question about the temperatures. What is a good idle/load temperature with this cpu and cooler. I have also heard that in the first days the cpu is running a bit hotter. I get about 47C idle which is still fine i guess but i just wanted to ask this, because why not.

Thanks!

47c at completely idle is a little warm, but is still within a healthy temp for the processor.

Ideally your temp range for that CPU will look like this:

80C Hot (100% Load)
75C Warm
70C Warm (Heavy Load)
60C Norm
50C Norm (Medium Load)
40C Norm
30C Cool (Idle)

Here's a great full Intel Temperature CPU Guide on Tom's, I highly recommend giving it a read-through 😉

What's your ambient temp , because that idle is high.

Anything under 80c is fine,run a CPU stress test and monitor the CPU temps.In gaming maximum should be around 70c or lower,with that cooler,your idle temperature at this moment is a bit on the higher side though.

its about 23C

I actually messed up kinda bad here sorry guys. I was looking at my GPU temperatures lol. The CPU temps are about 34-39C idle it seems like. Im such a dumbass 😀

That's sounds normal then.
CPU temps are about 34-39C idle

Also one question, is it true that CPUs run a bit hotter the first couple of days?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Most thermals need time to cure so it can be true at times.

Ok, i have the stock thermal paste which came with the cooler. Doesnt seem like its the best quality paste, but hopefully it will do fine.

THE PASTE with the EVO is decent.

Glad to hear that
