I just installed an Asus Sabertooth 990FX with a Cooler Master GeminII cooler. The paste i used was XIGMATEK PTI-G4512 using the ball method.

My processor is an AMD FX-6300 and the fan that came with the heatsink is noted to be running at 700RPM (my 4 case fans are running close to 1500RPM)

According to my UEFI/BIOS, the CPU temp is at 30c (86f) - i havent been able to boot into windows to see what the temp is under normal usage.

this is my first after market cooler, are these temps fine or should they be lower?

There are lots of tests meant to test things like this. Download prime95 or is soft Sandra or intel burn test all for free and they can beset up to run for a while and give you a real answer for how hot you are running under the heaviest of loads. 12seconds is meaningless

using CPUID's HWMonitor

while idling the CPU stays around 11-17c (according to values under 'AMD FX-6300' on HWM) or 30c (under 'ASUSTek COMPUTER INC. S...' on HWM)

While rendering a 720p video (CPU usage at 70-80%) it was 30c under the CPU and 40c under the MB (both have temps for the CPU for some reason)

Aye. the render was 12 seconds.

I suppose i can attempt to render something lengthy like that. I do have some game playthrough footage i could use...
