Evo 212 and CPU temps too high

After installing the Evo 212 Hyper into my PC, it runs at a constant 1750 RPM while idling, and CPU temps (according to CPUID HW MONITOR) are around 57 degrees. (Similar temps pulled from SpeedFan)..

Any ideas on what I've screwed up? Don't think I've applied too much thermal paste. Used Arctic Silver.

That sounds like a good case set-up for airflow, unless you have a ton of wires and stuff cluttered and in the way.

The four temperatures (Core 0, 1, 2, 3) should be your actual CPU Core temperatures. These are what are truly important for when you're at load. If you were at load during that, you're doing pretty good, actually. If these are what is getting up to 57C when under load, that is a bit high, but nothing to fret too much about... Unless you plan on overclocking.

As for the constant fan speed, it sounds like you somehow disabled your rig's feature to control fan speeds. Did you diddle with something in the BIOS, or Speedfan?

How is the airflow in the entire case? Are you just circulating hot air around inside, or is there a good job being done to remove the hot air from the enclosure?
Where is your video card venting its waste heat?
But you are right. 57 Deg. Celsius is too high for idle.

Going to see if this is maybe the case. The radiator seems to wiggle a bit back and forth, but is screwed down tightly...



Airflow is okay I believe. Wasn't a problem before, and I've tried leaving the case side off for a while and there are no notable changes in temps.

Video card is venting outside of case. It's a hot card (GTX 260) but wasn't causing a problem previously.


No OC or anything like that. Heat sync applied with pea sized method.

Not a stupid question. I haven't done this in a number of years and anticipate that I messed up on something easy. The arrows are pointed up and towards the radiator.

What CPU are you running?

What case do you have, with how many fans?

Also, do you know if you're looking at the CPU core, or CPU socket temperatures? (You can either cross-reference with other programs, or take a screen shot of your temps at idle and load of HWMonitor, and we can tell you.)

Not sure which type of case I have any more (got it about 5 years ago.) But I'll try to find out. It's got two front facing fans, one top fan, and one rear fan.

Oh, oops. Haha. Thanks. Any thoughts on why the fan is running itself at nearly 1800 RPM then? It seems rather excessive, but perhaps that's normal.

Thanks Calculatron,

Haven't played around in the BIOS or speedfan at all. I'll investigate this though.

Cheers!
