My cpu idles at 43c and I have good airflow.

How can I lower the temps?


I just built this computer so it's not dusty.


I'm using a thermal take frio.

Hi,

It can be normal temperature depending on ambiant temperature.

The thing that is really important, is under load temperature. Try to keep it under 60 degree.

Ex: I had a CPU starting at 43 instead of 35 degree when I replaced the thermal paste. So I was a bit worried that something was wrong. But under full load it was hitting 65 instead or 80 degree. Computer is running fine for years.
