Hi I have an i5-3570k witch a CM 212 Evo cooler and its at 50 degrees idle and jusst reached 85 degrees while under full load! Also i keep getting blue screens of death, could the high temperature of the CPU be causing this?
50 idle and 85 full load is definitely high. However you are still within intel's speced operating temps.
I would say your first step is to take off the cooler, clean up the paste, reapply paste, put back on the cooler, test temps.
Can I just leave everything in the tower while I do this or do you recommend pulling everything out etc? And do you think this could be what is causing my blue screens?
