Hey!
So I've managed to build my rig, and when I started monitoring I noticed my idle temp was around 45c. This alarmed me, I tried remounting the cooler but that didn't help. The cooler is Hyper tx3 evo, I'm mounting it on a i7-4770k (LGA1150).
The thing is, so far I'm getting better performance with my stock cooler. I tested the cooler and I was getting 100c temps in Prime95 which is really dangerous. I swapped over to the stock one and I got 80c max.
So I guess I'm having some problems mounting it. I also don't hear the clicky sounds when I'm mounting it, but the mounting feels really solid when it's there altogether. What could be wrong?
And yes, I'm using thermal paste. Blob spread. Arctic Silver 5.
