Oky i bought me a gaming system about two weeks ago.
The cpu is an intel core i5 4670.

With the stock cooler the temperatures idle around 46 and if i play games 57-62

i decided to buy an after market cooler. After attaching the new cooler with arctic silver 5 the temps was around 32-34 on idle and 57 on load. Even after 200 hours the temps was more or less the same.

I decided to redo the thermal paste on friday, yesterday my room temp was about 21-23. Realtemp measures 4 cores, core 1 t0 3 is about 28-31 and core 4 is 25(Weird)

the screws that hold down the cooler is tightened very good, i was afraid of braking something when doing it, but think its all good

What do you guys/Girls Think?
I think this is the best i can get it

Mate, I learned the hard way the "if it works don't fix it" thing. I was too trying to squeeze extra couple of c of cooling and ended up bending motherboard pins with my old Core2Duo and then ruining the CPU itself when I tried to reseat and fix everything.

I'll tell you this - each time you try to remove the fan and reapply stuff and such - you take a risk. In your case it's not worth it.


I got I7-4770 and it runs up to 57c in games too and I'm happy with that, because this is a good temp, really. So just leave it at that - you could have hit your limit with whatever cooling you have there and constant messing around with it will maybe let you drop it to like 55 if you are lucky or ruin your hardware if you are not.

Those temps are absolutely fine. 30-35c idle is normal, sub-30c idle is good, as is 62c max full load. As long as it's kept below 75c-ish in the the long-term, you're fine. Some cores are higher than others due to their location relative to the centre of the CPU and the fact when idle, the OS is still doing minor things in the background (often only on one core) which can change temps by 1-2c between cores.

Really, it's when you start seeing long-term higher temps. I've had a past system run 4.5 years without needing change before.

i wanted to mention this: i have a cooler master haf 912, i have 2 x 120mm fans (Cooler Master) in the front that blows in air into the case and 1 x 140mm (Aerocool Shark) on the side panel that blows air into the case. 1x120mm fans at the rear that's exhausting the hot air and 2 x 120mm on top panel that pulls the hot hair.

The two top panel coolermaster fans is cooler master sickle flow which is rated 2000rmp, is that litterally 2000rpm the whole time or what? The reason i ask is when i turn on my computer it sounds like a jet that wants t fly away, if i hold my hand on the panel i can feel slight vibration, i removed the fans and held them in my hand while turning it on and they don't vibrate in my hands
