Hello guys.
So I`ve got a little problem with my Q9300 Idle temperature. When I turn on my PC and open ( for example Core Temp ) the Min. temperature of my CPU idling is around 45C and that`s only when the PC is just turned on. After like 10-15 minutes, no matter what I do, idling, browsing or any not-cpu intensive actions my temperature stays around 48-56C. Yesterday I changed my thermal paste ( it`s MX-4 ) and cleaned my cooler from the dust ( yes there were some ) and the temperature changed with maybe 1-2C ? I`m kinda worried cause` I think this idle temperature is too high for the CPU. When the CPU`s under load ( for example when gaming ) it stays at around 58-63C. The cooler I`m using is Acer HI.2490C which looks like this -
And here`s a screenshot of my min/max temperature while browsing the internet and listening to a Youtube playlist -
I would like to hear if there are any suggestions on what I can do to lower the temperature a little bit without spending money on a new cooler. Thanks in advance !
