Normal Operating Temps for I7 4771

[bob987]

I just completed my first build and was curious as to what the normal temps should be for the CPU.

Running Prime95 and using CPUID HWmonitor at max load I am getting around 70 degrees C max and idle is around 27 degrees C.

Specs:
Asus Sabertooth Z87
Intel Core I7 4771
Zalman CNPS9500A heat sink
used Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste

Thanks for any help and advice!

Sounds good for 7 cores, check fans are keeping hot air out and new air in, check for dust etc... Gl

I triple checked all the diagrams in the instructions for proper flow and have all the dust filters in place. Ill be sure to keep an eye on things. Im 2hrs into Prime95 and temps are holding steady at around 69C now.

Thanks for your advice!

Does anyone think I should redo the thermal paste and re-seat the heatsink or do these temps seem good as ilexious has said?

Just looking for more opinions
