Hi,

I've just built a PC (first timer) and I wanted to make sure my temperatures looked okay as I seemed to be getting very high temperatures with a very large range.

I have a i7 4790k with a H75 Corsair cooler configured in push-pull on a NZXT Phantom full ATX case.

This is the temperature after sitting with chrome open browsing some threads:

My initial thoughts are that it is quite high for just chrome and steam open in the background (no downloads or anything)

Here is the temperature after just loading Old School RS on the OSBuddy client -> https://rsbuddy.com/osbuddy/ without even playing:

And finally here are the temperatures after leaving it running and then using chrome for 5 minutes:

To be honest I think the last one is way to high and I'm not sure what could be wrong. I left the stock thermal paste on so I could always replace that with the paste that I bought which might help.
Any help would be appreciated.

Edit - forgot to mention I have already looked through the following:

I have looked through many other threads and I couldn't seem to find anyone with the same issue

You'll want to test the temps at 100% load, but that last picture suggests that you should probably reseat it first.
Make sure and clean the old paste off really good.
Make sure the back plate is fully on.
Make sure there isn't too much thermal paste.
Screw it on evenly to make sure you get an even distribution of paste.
Make sure the fans are plugged in and working.
I would try doing that first and then rechecking the temperatures.

I've just added the graphics card and checked the fan connections. I had the pump in the CPU2 fan spot so I swapped it with the push-pull fans. I disabled the smart fan option on my MSI motherboard as well so now it should be running at max all the time.

I'm going to see what is it like this evening and see what the temperatures get to while using it this evening before I do anything major. I need to get something to remove the paste with so it could be a few days before I reseat the cooler anyway.
