Hi, everyone, I'm new on this website, and sorry for my English.

I just build my new computer without any O.S installed yet , I went to check in the BIOS if everything were recognised, everything seems good until I saw CPU temperature hitting at 90°C, and the motherboard at 36°c.

This is my build

CPU : i7 4770K (WITH STOCK FAN)
MOBO: ASRock Z87 Extreme3
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengance(Black Colour)
PSU: Corsair GS 600W.
NO GPU (I'm using integreated graphics HD 4600)
Chasis : Coolmaster Case K280


I decided to not turn it on any more until I can find an answer, I remember during my build I place once the stock heat sink fan , then It was bit loose and I took it off and place it again. and I did that like 3 times, about 1 hour while I was assembling the computer. Do you think the thermal compound is wasted? and that's the reason why The BIOS shows temps at 90C?.

Did I needed to re-apply the thermal compound if I remove the heat sink fan, even if is new CPU?
Or I had bent one of the pins accidentally!?:??:

Yeah It was spinning and it seems the cpu cooler was tightly pressed, there was just one not pressed correctly, it was like when I press the other one, this one comes up, and If I press this one, the other one came out, but yet it the cooler felt tight enough :S but anyway, as I said I will just wait for the new cooler, and I hope it solve the problem.

Since you mentioned you'll be getting a hyper evo 212, you may want to grab this stuff for $7: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100010
It will help you clean the old stuff off so you have an ideal contact patch when you apply the new paste. Proper seating can save you a lot of headache! Also, like arnav01 mentioned watch some youtube videos and learn for ex, the pea method for applying thermal paste so you get the best coverage of paste on your cpu. Too much is just as bad as not enough; it's all about proper conductivity from the copper plate to the cooling apparatus whether it be liquid or air. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your suggestion, I'l be getting isopropyl wipes, they sell it in my local shop, I'l use this to clean the thermal compound, the 212 EVO, apparently it comes with a thermal compound too, yeah I will watch videos on how to apply thermal compound. I'l be more careful this time and make sure everything goes fine.

Thank you guys I hope I come up with good news!, my deliery should come in 3 days I guess.

Oh I forgot one question, once the new thermal compound is applied, and once I had place the cooler on the top of the CPU, can I removed again to check if the compound had spread properly? or once the cooler is sits, I must not remove it again?

The more you move it the more you mess with the contact patch. You can get away with "checking" but what's best is to make sure it's secure the first time. Press harder than you think. Make sure everything clicks, locks, etc. as solidly as it was designed to. You will notice when the computer is running that the temps at idle should range from 14-34c at idle and 40-80c at load (I put wider ranges than normal because everyone's chip is different). Most of the time your load temps shouldn't go to far past 60c and be in the 70s only under heavy use. If you are observing temps well above these at stock settings with no overclocking like 80, 90C+ that's way too high and you obviously did not seat it properly. If you really are afraid of breaking your mobo plastic then have an experienced friend show you how much pressure should be applied. It's hard to really get a gauge for this via video and I don't want to say you can't break it because you can, so do be careful but a lot of new comers tend to not seat their heatsinks properly due to lack of pressure so again press harder than you'd think but with some caution still.

Thanks guys, I've just installed the new fan, and now temps are at 34C :)
yeah it was a bad installation of the stock cooler, and I also bent one of the plastic pins of the fan so that was the reason, but now I'm happy with my new pc! is working good as you can see I'm writing this from this pc :)
