Hello
Today I purchased a new cpu. Intel core i5 3570(not the k version) and I installed it myself. It came in its original box but there was no thermal paste. I noticed there was thermal paste already applied on the fan(where it touches the cpu) and figured it is enough.
Anyway I installed the cpu and it ran great and all, but out of curiosity I installed a temp monitor tool(2 tools to be sure. speedfan 4.9 and Real Temp GT 3.70) and both these tools say my cpu temp is at 80 degrees Celsius. And the cpu is practically idle.
I forced the fan to 100% to drop it to 70, but 70 C is still hot while idle. What do you recommend I do?
