idle temps on the cores vary from 30-35 on 3 cores and in the low 40s on one when idle.

With Skyrim on Ultra settings, it goes up to the low 50s all around.

I've pushed the CPU up to 40x.

Room temp is 29 (all these in Celsius obviously).

Is this normal or do I need to reinstall the heatsink?

Big time noob. Thanks in advance.

Thanks man. It is summer and hot. So the room never goes below 28 since i don't have AC other than at night. I guess everything is installed ok then. Really didn't want to redo it.. :D
