I'm wondering if I should add some artic silver 5 behind my i7-3770K and my OEM heatsink.
I did not add because there was the original small layer of thermal compond from intel directly on the heatsink.
But when gaming I could notice temp going to 80degrees.
I have a good computer case tho, which is an Antec Nine Hundred two.
fans:
- 1 rear 120 x 25mm TriCool™ blue LED exhaust fan
- 1 top 200 x 30mm "Big Boy" TriCool™ blue LED exhaust fan
- 2 front 120 x 25mm special black blue LED intake fans with front speed control
- 1 side 120 x 25mm fan
- 2 middle 120mm fan
And room temp around 21 degree Celcius
Oh and a geforce 560, 1 ssd drive mushkin 256gb, 1.5tb western digital hd, 1 dvd drive and 16gb of g.skills 2133mhz are inside too
Should I add artic silver 5 thermal paste?
Should I buy a new cpu cooler ?
Thank you
