I recently got my self a Hyper 212 Evo, while i was installing the actual cooler on with the x brackets, i would lock down 3, but the 4th one would be hovering high over the screw. So i unscrewed everything and lined up, and put a little more pressure onto the screws and finally got all 4 to fit. In this process, i moved the cooler quite a bit. I'm just wondering if my temps are good and ok, idles around 28-32c and while playing planetside 2, on ultra settings, i saw it reach 56c. My cpu for some reason oc'd it self, so it would be at max of 3.82hz, normal stock is 3.5hz. Are these temps good? or did i mess something up while installing. Im only asking because while i was browsing, i saw people oc'ing their i5s to 4.4 and saying they only reach mid 60s (all using the same cooler Hyper 212 evo). I was just wondering if i got a pretty good temps or not. Ty for your time!
Thermal Compound: Mx-4 (using pea method)
Had to apply twice because the first time the third screw was hard to push in, so i got scared and took it all off, cleaned everything and reapplied.
