Hi All,
My build is listed below. The CPU temps never get too high when I play demanding games on high quality, but do get too high by a few degrees Celsius when I process/encode videos. I think my supported core temp is about 71 degrees C. and the temps get up to around 75 degrees C. I'd like to have the temps at or below the supported temp.
I used arctic thermal paste. I am certain I applied it correctly.
I am wondering if I ought to have popped for a better CPU cooler? Or is there something in my bios settings I should be adjusting to make the CPU fan run at higher RPMs to keep the CPU cooler? My case has lots of room for ventilation, I don't think it's that.
Open to any and all ideas here.
- Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
- Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
- GSkill Ripjaws X Series 16GB DDR3 2133 RAM
- EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card
- Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower Case
- SeaSonic 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
- Samsung 840 EVO 500 GB SSD
- Windows 8.1 64-bit
Thanks in advance!
