Hi all!

I’ve recently purchased a new 8th Gen i5 8400, and am a little concerned with the idle temp I’m getting... It’s sitting around 50 degrees, which seems high to me. I’m using a Corsiar H110i GTX cooler, which I used on my previous cpu (i7 4790) and was getting idle temps at around 28-30 degrees...

I’ve now reapplied the thermal paste twice thinking it might have been that, but no change. To worried to put it under load at this stage as I don’t want it to spike up! Any feedback or ideas!?!?

Thank’s everyone.

Okay, so I just updated the bios and temps at idle now showing around 40 degrees (in bios and using RealTemp). Now Corsiar link temps match up this also.

Just did a stress test - At full load went up to around 80 degrees, 85 max.

Is this reasonable?
 


those temp are in the safe range but still with AIO cooler high if the cooler is mounter properly you sure its working properly too?
Need screenshot of corsair link at idle and at full load after 5-10 min
