Hey, I just finished my first build using:
A6-5400K
GA-F2A55M-HD2
G.Skill 1600 (4GB)
WD Blue 1TB
Corsair 430 PSU
Rosewill FBM-01
When everything was said and done, PC posted and booted up fine, but when I ran HWMonitor I got temp of 55C+ at idle, ended up hopping into bios and temp jumped from mid 30s to 50C+ and kept rising.
I decided to replace the stock heatsink with a Hyper 101a and, after wasting a tube of AF5 and 4 reseating, the temp stayed the same.
I ended up running P95 during 3/4 reseating and temp kept rising for CPU package to 80C+, using HWMonitor. Letting P95 run for about 30 min, the CPU temp stabilized at about 80C, no other temp monitoring software would work with the build so I opted for the gigabyte utility/sync v.6 app and to my surprise CPU temp showed up at 40Cish idle and no more then 55C at load. To take it a step further, I got into the bios and set it to sound an alarm at 60C, repeated the test and nada, not a sound other then the fans, which are 3 pin and run at a constant speed. With all the above going on I thought it would be to my benefit to open the case and feel the heat sink, it turned out that the top was cool, while base was warmish. I am at a loss as to what I should be doing next and I would appreciate any kind of insight as I am basically a beginner with this kind of stuff.
FYI: HWMonitor Temps were 70-80C during load at CPU Package but matched the temp for Gigabyte utility app v6 at the tempin2. No OC, had to shift heatsink a lot during latest reseat.
