Hey everyone, iv recently been watching my CPU temperature's.

I bought a H100i, got rid of my Hyper evo 212

Idle temps were good, except under load... it got around 70-78c which for me was too hot.

So then im like hmm maybe because i didnt remove the thermal paste correctly before adding new paste, so i bought the proper stuff Artic clean Thermal paste remove and the surface purifier, added new thermal paste and put her back together.

Now my idle temps are between 35-40 which is WORSE than before BUT my 100% load temps are between 60-68c which is alot better.... i really dont understand what is going on... worse idle temps but better under load temps??

please someone help

This is all with NO OC
