Is this normal for my stock cooled G3220?

Hi, and first off, my PC is about 9-10 months old. I haven't cleaned it, changed the thermal or checked the heatsinks. Recently, at full CPU Load, i get incredibly high temperatures, even for OC-ed high ends. I get 88c at Full Load! And I haven't overclocked. It is possible. I'm using a stock cooler that came with the G3220. I only OC-ed the GPU and by little. I have G3220 @ 3GHz, R7 240 at 780 and 900MHz, 8GB DDR3 Ram at 1333mhz and a HD754JJ. I use SpeedFan, at it gives me the red arrow, meaning higher thatn it should be. I'm way above the T-Case, and i'm worried about hitting the TJmax. Should i do something? Maybe my CPU cooler isn't running. I'm worries because I'm geeting these with a low-end processor, and I experience no slowdowns in BF3. I'll run some tests then. I heard that the Haswell processors run hot, and that if the case isn't feeling hot on touch, maybe its a glitch. SpeedFan was reliable to me before though. My PC got a little quieter thpugh, or so I think.

Well,first of all,you should clean your PC and reapply the Thermal paste.
For a stock CPU,the stock cooler is just fine.
Clean your PC and reapply the Thermal paste and see if your temps go down.
Also check if you've plugged in your CPU cooler.
If your temps don't go down,then get a Cooler Master Hyper TX3.Great CPU cooler and should fit in every case. ;)
All the best. ;)

First of all. If your case does not have good airflow that could be one of the problems reaching that tempurature. Although, it is more than likely your heatsink -- change the thermal paste. I would suggest Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. I would get rid of the stock cooler if reapplying thermal paste doesnt bring it down.

I wouldnt worry about Haswell temps being hot. I am using a 4670K and its runs from 30 - 40 degress on idle, depending on room tempurature.

Jesi li domaci? Ja sam iz Srbije :D Anyway, I'm just asking if these temps are normal for my CPU. I got my PC pre-made, so I'm asking, could I get these temps even if I had my Cooler plugged in? (I think it's plugged in).

I have a CoolBox 201 500W made by Spire, so it's likely the airflow. I don't have much money though, so I'm asking: are these temps high, and should I worry? And can the stock cooler stop working?

80 degrees is not normal for a pentium processor. I would suggest looking inside your computer and seeing if your heatsink is placed correctly. What is your pre-made computer? Alienware, Gateway, CyberPower, etc?

Yes, your temps are out of line.
Measure also with a different app like realtemp.

Check to see that your cooler is still well mounted. No wiggle if you nudge it, and all 4 pushpins are through the motherboard and locked.

The stock Intel cooler can be tricky to install.
A poor installation will result in higher cpu temperatures.

To mount the Intel stock cooler properly, place the motherboard on top of the foam or cardboard backing that was packed with the motherboard.
The stock cooler will come with paste pre applied, it looks like three grey strips.
The 4 push pins should come in the proper position for installation, that is with the pins rotated in the direction of the arrow,(counter clockwise) as far as they can go.
If you want, play with the pushpin mechanism until you know how they work.
Place the cooler so that all 4 pins are oriented over the holes in the motherboard.

Push down on the entire cooler so that all 4 pins are through the motherboard.
When you push down on the top black pins, it expands the white plastic pins to fix the cooler in place.

The trick to getting it on is to push down on a DIAGONAL pair of pins at the same time. Then the other pair.
If you do them one at a time, you will not get the cooler on straight.
Lastly, look at the back of the motherboard to verify that all 4 pins are equally through the motherboard, and that the cooler is on firmly.
This last step must be done, which is why the motherboard must be out of the case to do the job.
It is possible to mount the cooler with the motherboard mounted in the case, but you can then never be certain that the push pins are inserted properly.

If you should need to remove the cooler, turn the pins clockwise to unlock them.
You will need to clean off the old paste and reapply new if you ever take the cooler off.

Gigatron Scarface 9. It's a computer made by a shop. The components were mentioned above. The case is Spire Coolbox 201B with 500 Watts. Temperatures only recently started to rise to these numbers, and I don't think it's actually that hot. I'll touch it though the next time I play BF3. It was placed correctly when I got it, or else I'd start getting these waay earlier. I'll boot-up BF3 and tell you the results though.

Those temps are very high. I am not trying to worry you but I would save up money and buy a better airflow case and a aftermarket cooler or reapply thermal paste. Your stock cooler may or may not be running. You may need to peak inside and see if there are fans running on top of the processor.

Download a program called HW Monitor. Its works like a charm. It measure temps from your components.

I tried it, and the temps stay the same. But there's something scaring me: The Fans PWM section says 0% everywhere. There are 3 other Fan speeds under the MoBo section, they give about 1600RPMs. When I place my hand in the back of the case, there is a hole at the top. There is strong wind coming out of there. My question is: the wind that comes out, is it produced by the GPU or CPU fan? My case is Spire Coolbox 201B 500W, as I mentioned.

I assume they are just fans.

You might have found your problem.
Open up the case and look to see if the cpu cooler fan is spinning.
If you can't exactly tell, stick the tip of a piece of paper in it and you should hear a buzz if the fan is spinning.
If the fan is not working verify that it is securely plugged into the cpu fan header.

Peak inside the case and check if your cpu fan is running. If so, turn off your PC and re seat the cpu fan and make sure is is connected to the cpu fan header.

Hey, I have a question. If my PC passes P.O.S.T and if the hole in the back of the case (the hole at the top) blisters wind, is there a chance that my Cpu cooler is running? And also, what could cause it to stop? It was running for 6 months guaranteed, so it couldn't unmount itself.

It is probably running then. The hole on the top is just a fan to keep yout case cool.

I don't have a case fan. Spire CoolBox 201B 500W doesn't come with one.

I checked. The CPU Cooler is running, constantly, without skips and stops. I cleaned the dust from my whole case, including each component. I moved my unused cables that are coming from my PSU. Only thing i didn't do is to reapply the paste? Is it possible for a CPU to get 88c even if the CPU Cooler is running at full speed?
