Hello!
I finished building my pc just 2 days ago. I downloaded some games and noticed that when i play i get a little over 80 degrees on every core. I thought it was really strange o.O and i would really need some help.
Will the problem fix itself i buy an aftermarket cooler? (as im currently using the stock cooler) Thanks.

What's the temperature of your room?What's the case fan situation look like in your case?
Does your pc have ample room for cooler air to flow around it?
and this is 80 degree CELSIUS right? cause 80 degrees Fahrenheit is no big deal.
my room temp is probably around 22-24 ish. im talking about celsius. This was my first built pc so im not 100 percent sure how good the airflow is, alot of the cables couldn't fit on the backside

Yes, an aftermarket cooler, even a cheap one, will be lots better. Unless you're playing a very CPU-intensive game like WD though, that's still a bit high. Make sure the cooler is fully seated and the push-pins are all fully engaged.Well it will be SOMEWHAT better, there's alot of factors that go into heat management.
His case fans could all be blowing the wrong direction keeping the heat trapped inside or not bringing in any new air.

My case fans are already installed. One front fan that gets air into the case and one exhaust fan at the rear that should push hot air out.

The stock cooler that came with your cpu is more than adequate to cool your cpu. You have installed the heatsink incorrectly. You should make sure you have thermal paste correctly applied and all 4 of the fans are pushed down correctly.The thermal paste is already applied on the cpu fan, and the pins are through.

You could try a new cheap after market cooler (gonna have to buy new thermal paste, and clean off the old with rubbind alcohol and a lint-free cloth like a coffee filter) and try that, because for some reason that heatsink isn't work.

Do you get those kinds of temps in every game or is it just particular games? What are your temps at idle and during non-gaming use? Also how are you measuring the temps? Might want to download something like HWMonitor (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html) and see what kind of temps are showing on it.
When you got everything put together and loaded up, did you update your mobo's BIOS?

Ok, actually i contacted the company that i bought all the parts from and they said they were gonna send me a new cooler (
), i'll let you know if that works when it arrives. Also i thought that thermal paste comes bundled with the cooler o.O? But i may be wrong. -

When i was playing bf3 i got 83 degrees on core #0 #1 #2, the package, and i got 79 on core #3 with HWmonitor.
My idle temp before i have started playing anything is around 34ish and a bit after i have played it sloowly turns to around 37-40 ( it takes a while before my temps gets lower than 40)

BF3 can be pretty CPU-intensive, particularly the multiplayer. You'll know better once you get your replacement cooler, but I think what you've got is a case of a Haswell chip being a Haswell chip (i.e. hot) and an Intel cooler being an Intel cooler (i.e. barely adequate). If you do a search for 4670K + temp here in the forums, you'll see that you're in good company and that your temps with that chip and cooler, while a little higher than usual, aren't atypical. I have a 4670K in one of my builds (and a 4770K and 4790K) and none of them did well with the stock cooler. Adequate, yes...well, no.
A decent cooler, like the Cooler Master Hyper TX3, and some decent paste will make a big difference. A Hyper 212 EVO or Noctua NH-D14 (or liquid cooling), moving up the performance ladder, will make an even bigger difference, especially if you intend to overclock.

GUYS! I tried to push the heatsink a little more in, and now when i play i get fps drops all the time !!!
, what happened. The only thing i did was pushing the pins a little more. It's not overheating because the temps didn't go over 65 when i played for like 1 min so it's not that, (i think)
*EDIT* I think i solved the problem, it was just my hard drive being at full load
Also these was my temps when i finished playing the same bf3 map as yesterday for like 10 min
atleast its better http://

atleast its better http://It may not seem like much, but there's a big difference between 78C and and 83C as far as your chip is concerned. A 5C drop is nothing to sneeze at. If you can get it under 70C, that would be ideal - the cooler you can keep it, the better it will perform.
The case doesn't look too bad. Is there any way you can route your 24pin ATX cable behind the mobo tray? The more cables you can route behind the tray or secure (ziptie) so they run down the side of the case, the better your airflow will be. You should also consider adding in a side fan and/or an additional front fan. An additional top/rear exhaust fan would help exhaust all the hot air your CPU introduces to the case also.

When i tried doing some cable management i noticed that there was an incredibly small amount of space on the backside, so getting that fat cable there wouldn't make it easier, (it doesn't fit)
*UPDATE* I actually got the cable behind but it's VERYY tight (couldn't almost close the lid)

I installed an tx3 fan and now i only got 70 degrees on my second core (atleast what realtemp says) when i was playing bf3
