hi everyone,

I have a pc with an intel core i5 750 @2.67 GHz (not oc'd). I have recently swapped my gpu and while I was testing it and checking temps I noticed my cpu cores were above 60 °C. I stopped and when idle the cpu is 50-53 °C. I read that the max operating temperature for this cpu is 72 °C.

I only have the stock intel cooler installed and it is dust-free, is it normal that it runs this hot?

thanks!

I will do that, while i'm at it I think I'm going to install an aftermarket cooler. Is the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO a good option? It only costs €25 and it's only for running on stock speeds
