2500k C12P Temps

[taintedducky]

Hi! I'm just here wondering, if my temps are too high for my 2500k.

I use the Noctua C12P SE14, and my 2500k runs at 33 degrees idle, and about 52 degrees under intel burn test.

Can anyone please tell me if this is normal? Since I've read all the reviews, but none of the test builds used the 2500k.

Thanks!

The temps looks a little high for me, what case do you have?

 

[taintedducky]

Cooler Master HAF 932

What are the ambient temps? How do you apply the TIM at the moment of install the cooler?

 

[taintedducky]

TIM? I need to find a thermometer to find ambients.

 

[saint19]

TIM = Thermal Interface Material

I had my uncle do that part, it looked thin, but covered everything, but still had some depth to it.

Screenies or it didn't happen.

Can I suggest a better/real cooler? Something like the Hyper 212+ can give you much better temps.

Are those temps real? Since he still failed to give me a screenie on them.

 

[AdrianPerry]

I know the hyper 212+ gives better temps but i didnt want the huge heatsink since i wouldnt be able to fit my side fans on my case. At work currently ill try and post some screens of temps when i get home. Give me a few hours

My 2500k temps are very similar to Adrian's with a N520 cooler. (4.5ghz 63C max). OP, your temps seem normal to me. What speed were you running at?

I thought spreading the thermal paste on the cpu package had mixed reviews because some say it creates airbubbles while others say it gives a more even coat.

 

[AdrianPerry]

i dont think initial application of paste really makes any difference. when then CPU is tightned down properly the paste spreads out anyway and covers the whole CPU so it makes very little difference.

Are you using Freezer 13 or Freezer 13 Pro?
Do you have any idea on the ambient temperatures there?

I'm running the same cpu with stock cooling (the one that came in the cpu box). Under full load, at stock speed, the temperature is much higher than yours.

I was thinking to buy the freezer 13 (one of the few that is small enough to fit in my case) to get some lower temps and try some oc.
