Idle temperatures are useless beyond telling you that there is a major cooling performance issue if you see 80-100C at idle. Do some measurements under load and only start worrying if you see temperatures above 75C.

My i5-3470 idles at 50C because I set my CPU fan profile to 25% (the minimum allowed) below 50C.

Set a more aggressive curve in the bios? You aren't trying to overclock with it right? It's only a bit better than the stock cooler (a decent bit, but still not really an oc friendly cooler)

Nope just the turbo clock... when needed..

hmm, while playing GTA or evolve stage 2 it can go up to 80.. when stress testing it can get to 85/90..

Check fan setting in bios make sure they aren't on silent

Supahos :

I reset the bios settings.. created a custom fan curve.. and in Idle my pc is 40c now..

Supahos · Jul 27, 2016

As ie mentioned idle temps really mean squat as the sensors are really made to measure that low they are most accurate in the 70-110 C range. That tells you that it was just a fan speed issue and I'd certainly check temps during a stress test before I considered ocing with that cooler

Supahos :

Hmm yeah ok but when gaming it can still go up as high as 80c, i'm thinking about getting the 212X instead... do you know a cooler in the 40 euro range??

Supahos · Jul 28, 2016

Cryorig h7 or a hyperevo 212 cryorig is much better but Not sure you can find it in europe

Danii · Jul 28, 2016

Supahos :

And whch one is the best out of these two? i can find them here..

the Cryorig H7 for 44 euro's and the hyper 212 EVO for 29 euro's

Supahos · Jul 28, 2016

H7 is much better but it is more

I wouldn't consider a 2-4C difference with the 212 EVO in the reviews that I have seen 'much better' considering the 30-40% price difference.
