Hello guys,
Just need your help with regards to my CPU.
Just got my Corsair H60 today and installed it right away.
And these are the results:
Stock fan= idle: 32-35c max load: 65c-68c
Corsair H60 =idle: 41-45c and Max load(Prime95) = 51-54c
I used the fan on the radiator as intake.
btw, this cpu fan pin connected on PWM.

Specs:
i5 4460 -9mos old and the rest of my components are 5mos old.
B85M Gamer
2x4gb Hyper X
1TB Seagate
N200case (2x120mm intake fan in front and 1x120mm exhaust fan in top)
960 Strix 2gb
Seasonic M12 II 520W

The max temp is significantly lower, and that's all that matters really. Whether it idles at 30, or 40, it makes no difference as the chip will run just as good on either temp. My guess would be the stock fan runs high RPM @ idle, whereas the H60 runs very low RPM @ idle.

Hi thanks for that
I did a couple of restart and it run smoothly now.. my idle temp is 32c max load(prime95) = 61c
I believed this should be fine. The only bothering me right now is my Windows 10, sometimes at startup CPU gets 80% workload and my temps rise up to 40-45c(this is what happened earlier that makes me believe its my wcs)
Any idea if how to fix this? this is random, sometimes I get 80% load on my cpu at startup and sometimes normal.

Do you have a lot of start up programs? This could be causing it. How long has it been since you've done a fresh install - this could help. Put all your files you want to keep onto a backup USB/HD and clear Windows 10 (Do this overnight as it takes up to 10 hours)

Settings > Update & Security > Reset this PC (Get started)

I have this issue since I upgraded from Win7 to Win10. Done on the msconfig thing. Thanks buddy I'll do that since this so annoying.
Thanks Joshua
