Hello. I have just applied thermal paste and installed a cpu cooler for the first time. I am getting around 30 degrees celsius at idle with an i5 6600k and a cryorig h7 cooler. I am just wondering if these temperatures are normal.

Any help is much appreciated!
 
its 15c in my room right now and long way from antartica lol

i am in a t-shirt with the window open

15c isnt cold to everybody you know

but yes cooler than the temperature of the room you are in would risk condensation--but not going to happen with an air or water cooler in normal use

Which program do you recommend?
 
hmmm just tried it

i dropped my cpu down to stock speed for trying it

bear in mind i am on watercooling and its only around 15c here but didnt go over 42c which doesnt seem much of a test since i was already at 32c with the other stuff i have open

i am not a fan of prime95 or occt etc i think they stress far beyond normal use

try the official intelprocessor diagnostic tool--it gives it a reasonably good test but not to extremes

Well i used the intel tool and it kept saying i was receiving 40-43 degrees below max. I'm not sure how much the max is though so idk what the temps were.
