New Build Temps Advice

[E17_Hammer]

I recently built my 1st build, i posted a few questions on here in the build, thanks for the advice people. anyway ive been up and running for just over 2 weeks. When im ideal im running at about 36oC. Im running a i7 920, not overclocked and im using a titan fenrir cooler with a coolermaster haf case. here are the results after while running prime95, small ftps test for about 10mins.



are these ok temps? im just wondering.

thanks.

Looks normal to me, but it seems that your heatsink may be the culprit. I have the same temperature, yet I'm using a stock Intel fan (a true POS).

Not 100% sure what the operating temps for i7 are, but I always feel a bit off if I see prime causing temps higher than 70...

Recheck your HSF and thermal paste.

Ok thanks, with the titan fenrir how much paste should i apply, i applied a thin layer across the whole chip?
