Hi Forum,
I recently bought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler to replace my stock Intel one after finishing my first self built PC. However I feel as though it is under performing. The temperatures of my cores all idle at 40c minimum (sometimes 39c) and even as I type this, using HWMonitor they are all at 50c, 50c, 50c and 49c - with only two Google Chrome tabs open.
My set up is as follows:
Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2
Mobo: Gigabyte x58a-ud3r
CPU: Intel i7 950 with Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Cooler
RAM: 10gb Corsair XMS 3 (2x3, one of them is bad so should be 12gb)
GPU: Geforce GTX 460
PSU: Antec 620w High Current Gamer
Crucial M500 240gb
Seagate Barracuda 500gb
Western Digital Green Caviar 2tb
I've tried lots of resolutions but none have helped. Here is what I have tried:
Reseating the entire unit x 2.
Using a pea sized drop of thermal paste in the centre.
Turning the fan speed up to 100% (1600rpm) from the current 1200rpm (by disabling the smart fan in the BIOS).
The above in conjunction with running all 3 of my case fans (1 front intake, 2 exhaust) at 100%.
Removing top panel filter to increase airflow.
I have another 140mm Fractal Design Silent Series fan on the way from Amazon to have as a 2nd intake or 3rd exhaust (depending on which yields better results)
Could anyone shed some light into my problem?
I will attach a photo of my case set up for airflow reference. If any other information or pictures are needed then please just ask.
