All,
I am not at all happy with the temps on my new system, and wanted to get some feedback.
Here are my temps (per SpeedFan) at idle:
CPU: 48C
Core1: 59C
Core2: 59C
Core3: 51C
Core4: 51C
At load these all go up about 10C, but never breach the 70C mark.
I am concerned at the idle temps most of all. Could it be airflow in my case (Cosmos 1000)? I am running a Zalman CNPS9700 CPU cooler with ArticSilver 5 thermal paste (which I re-did once already because I wanted to be sure of the application).
I do see a 7C+ drop in temps when I take off the side of the case, and am considering ordering some better fans (I am using the Coolermaster fans that came with the case now. 2 on top, 1 back, 1 bottom - 120mm).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
