Hello,
I've recently upgraded my setup, changing the motherboard, the CPU and the PSU. Originally I wanted to get the i7 4790k with the hyper 212 evo, but they didn't have it at the time so they replaced it with Hyper TX3i. The motherboard I use is asrock z97 anniversary.
When I installed everything the Hyper TX3i was terrible as it gave me about 50-55 idle, so I replaced it with the stock cooler and it worked better at about 40-50 idle. I'm almost 100% certain I mounted both properly as I did it multiple times, re-applied thermal paste and I checked the back of the case to see if everything fit properly. Right now I'm worried whether the temperatures are ok with the stock cooler or if there is something wrong.
With core temp and hw monitor I get about 40-60C when I only have google chrome open and a few other applications (the cpu usage is at about 30%). The weird thing is that in games it doesn't go too crazy, I tried playing arma 3 multiplayer with a bunch of people which is very cpu intensive and I got to about 72 C. However when I ran prime95 it got to almost a 100 degrees real quick. Keep in mind all of this is at around 15-25C room temperature. Also I am not overclocking the cpu and I have turbo enabled. I did disable turbo in bios but it didn't really change much. So is it normal for the cpu to get to such temperatures, around 50 degrees when not much is going on? The main reason I'm worried is because I need this PC for video editing and room temperature is going to increase during the day.
I am planning to invest in a good cooler in a month or two, but is there anything I can do now, like decrease the voltage as at the moment I'd much rather have the pc not die than to run at max performance.
Configuration
i7 4790k
gtx 750ti
8gb Ram
EVGA 600W Power Supply
Also got an a screenshot of CPU-Z (https://gyazo.com/c4e9b8a9e0e8a7f09a9f682273ad8ffd) and Core Temp (https://gyazo.com/40ee73dc226d2dc450e4cfb925344fb4)
