Is this idle temperature okay?

DC4326 · Aug 12, 2014

I have an i7-4790K processor idling at 43C. . Is it normal? I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212X installed though. .

Ambient temps are at:
82-86F/28-30C

Completely normal considering the ambient temps; Most benchmarks you see online were done in an ambient temperature of 20-23C.

@Eduello

Hmm, even though I have the 212X?

Well, what does the rest of your case look like? Can cool air even get to your 212? Where does your hot air go?

Yeah, the idle temps will almost always be 10-15C above ambient if you're not cooling with liquid nitrogen etc.
How high are your temps under load?

I have a bitfenix ronin with 3 sickleflow x intakes, 2 cougar dual x 140mm exhausts and 1 sickleflow x rear exhaust.

@Eduello
Whoah, I still have to test it later because I completed the build very late yesterday. .

It's also summertime. So all your temps are gonna be high, check again in winter.
