just put together a gaming pc z87 i5 4670k dark rock 2 cooler thermal paste applied but im getting temps of 78-80*c on idle any suggestions plz
 
Solution
Re-seat you cooler.
Don't apply too much thermal paste. A small dot in the middle is enough, let the weight of the cooler spread it.
A thin layer is all thats needed.
