This is abomination. My build is fairly new, and i haven't even touched my CPU clocks since i bought the entire thing.
I have an EVO 212 cooler installed, and my CPU idles at 38 - 40C, reaching 57C while playing AC Syndicate for less than a couple of hours. How could this be normal?
Here's the rest of my build:
GTX 970
8GB RAM 1600MHZ
ASUS M5A99XPRO
COOLER MASTER 750CX
A cooler master HAF tower (mid sized)
I used to not bat an eye to temps, until a couple of months ago i checked my gaming temps and they were at a whopping 63C. I then re-applied thermal paste (correct way and all), but as you can see, barley any improvement.
The only thing i feel could be wrong was that the Heatsink mount was applied too tightly onto the CPU. However i think that ceases to be an issue since the EVO 212 is known for its barley-fittable mount.
fun fact: my cpu barley lasts a few minutes in prime95 without 1 error.
