I recently built a new system. i have a intel i7 4790k and stock heat sink and fan. i didnt change the thermal paste that was already applied to the heat sink copper plate. at idle im getting about 37-40C and under load i usually get about 70-74C
Are these numbers okay or should i buy aftermarket thermal paste like arctic silver and re apply it?
I dont have enough money to get an aftermarket heat sink and fan at the moment so the stock intel ones will have to do.
please let me know what you guys think.
