Hi all,
I was recently checking my CPU temps after building my new pc and I noticed that my CPU idles at around 45 to 56° C. Is that a lot? My last pc only hit 60° while either gaming or doing 3D work. I have an Intel 4770k being watercooled by a Corsair h100i.
One thing to mention though, when I was building my pc, I had barely placed my CPU cooler on before realizing my screws were a little loose. So I took it off to tighten the screws. I noticed that I left some of the thermal paste on the CPU and I was wondering if perhaps I may have messed up my thermal paste. Thanks!
