Brand new CPU overheating

Green AgentTurtle · Aug 12, 2013

Recently just built a computer. I as downloading drivers, games and stuff and when i was downloading cpu temps. All my 4 cores were around 97 celsius. I got 3 case fan 2 are 200mm. Intel core i5 2500k with an noctua L9i cooler. I didnt overclock either. I stopped all my downloads and my cpu temps were still 97 celsius. My CPU usage was at 10% and i wasnt overclocking at all. I had kaspersky installed. Help? noctua thermal paste if u wanna ask. Is there something with the cpu and fan and should i get a refund?

What are using to monitor the temps? Some software doesn't work with all MB's or CPU's and gives a bad temp reading.

When you installed your new cooler, did you use thermal paste and apply it properly? Is your cooler secured properly?

Badly applied thermal paste or too little can easily cause bad thermal transfers.

As for temperature monitor software I recommend using the software which came with your mother board. Other wise just go to the bios and read the temperature from there, that should give a better idea of what is going on.
