Hello! Recently I switched to an H60 from Corsair and running prime95 for about 40 mins I got those temps from HWMonitor:
![]()
But because I don't know what CPU temp it really matters, in the motherboard tree there is also a CPU temp:
![]()
Are they too high or normal? It is not overclocked.

it would help but only by about 5'c, still its better than nothing...
you still have 20'c to tjmax so although your temps are on the high side its not really gonna do much in the way of harm short term. but i would recommend if your at stock and thats the best the cooler can manage then maybe a new cooler is in order.
or you could try using a different thickness of paste if you applied a 3rd party brand... different amounts of paste can change the heat profile quite a bit especially if its on to thick or thin. (some cases up to 5'c)

Best solution
noctua do a low profile cooler but really it wont give better temps because it to is pretty much on the limit of what it can handle as far as that cpu goes..
a cooler with a bigger rad is what you would be best spending money on but only if your gonna oc or you want a quiet system.
i would recommend you try a cheaper option... ie get some high flow high static pressure fans as more airflow can compensate for lack of surface area on the cooler.
check out toms fan review if you can find it...

Thank you. I read some people with the same combination as mine (i5 4670k + h60) getting better temps, I don't believe that the lack of space in my case is the problem, maybe I put it wrong on the CPU? When I bought the h60 I was already planning to get 2 Gentle Typhoons to do push/pull and a little later get an h80i. Remounting the cooler and changing the thermal paste and fans will do for some time, right? Also, I purchased the K version just so I can overclock it, as it seems the h60 will not handle it, but will the h80i with those fans in push/pull do it?

thing is that cpu should only be pushing 65'c on prime 95 on stock speeds. so for gaming you should be around 55'c max.
its not a huge difference but it will help keep the case noise down if you can run lower temps...
you still have 20+'c to tjmax so its not like your cpu is gonna start throttling, crashing or going pop. so its quite safe to run at them temps its just not ideal.

there pretty high core temps if your not overclocking. the H60 isnt really a good cooler for that cpu though... its more a budget cooler solution for an i3.Spectroplasm said:
If I have not mounted the cooler wrong or if everything is working properly, does this have anything to do with the thermal paste intel applied? I've read people deliding their CPUs to apply ther thermal paste.Yeah It can do if theres a big difference between the temps of the different cores.
Your temps are nothing to worry about, perfectly within limits, I would just expect them to be lower with that cooler.

So what should I do? Just try to remount it with new paste, get better fans, another CPU cooler maybe? Just delid it is what I'm not going to do.
Since I'm limited with cooler sizes, is there any low profile cooler better than the h60?
Also, the individual core temps is almost the same.
I wish those temps were lower
