Just built my new system. When I first installed TAT, I noticed that my core temps for both cores were 51-53 celcius at stock.
I have reseated the heat sink fan, added an additional 80mm fan as exhaust, and pointed the cpu fan towards the CPU instead of pulling out from it.
I have lowered the average temp at stock to 42-44 celcius. That seems more in line with what it should be for stock heatsink with no thermal compound. My question is that I want to do some moderate overclocking, just to get it to 2.8 for now (I'll go higher with a better cooler). That will probably raise the idle temp some but I think I'll stay under 50 celcius. Is that ok temps?
