Hi all-
When I first built this system, I was having a major heat issue which was causing bad performance while playing video games. I ended up taking the chip out, re-doing the thermal paste and reinstalling it. That took care of the problems I was having, idle temps were around 30 degrees.
Fast forward 5 months to tonight when I just randomly decided to check my temps and saw that both cores idle around 43-45 degrees...
When I play a game, it goes up to the high 60s. There have been no problems whatsoever, and if I hadn't looked I wouldn't have known the temps have been this high.
Question is, should I worry? Or should I not care as long as there are no apparent performance issues?
