Hi, I am fairly new to overclocking, so before I started to overclock my new rig, I decided to run prime95 to see where the temperatures are, but the temp readings for idle are about the low 40s (Celsius) and under the stress test (high 60s - low 70s).
Is this normal for a 3770k processor? I have a CoolerMaster 212 EVO air cooler installed. I am thinking that my difficulty in applying the thermal paste and installing the cooler might be a cause for the high temps. I have also read about some heat issues with the ivy bridge which is why I am asking if this is normal for a 3770k.
