I built my computer yesterday, my first build but I am having some concerns and wonder if anyone can weigh in.
The program speedfan is telling me my cpu is sitting at around 85C while idle, this seems pretty damn high to me for doing nothing. I wasn't to sure I put on my thermal paste correctly, could this be the problem? Its at 85C with both fans of my thermaltake frio on full speed. If thermal paste is the problem, should I just get it off and then when I reapply it this time, I just put a pea sized glob on the cpu and then let it spread when I press the thermaltake on it? My CPU is an Intel Core i5-2500K.
My other problem is my top rear exhaust fan seems to be behaving strangely. It will or will not start spinning when I turn on my computer, it just seems to choose at random when I start up. If it doesn't start up, if I give it a tap with my finger it starts up and then it spins by itself. I had it directly hooked to the motherboard before and it gave my this problem, so I hooked it up to the PSU and it is still persisting. In all I have two thermaltake frio fans, the front fan, and the rear exhaust fan. The case I am using is the Cooler master HAF 912.
Thanks for assistance.
Also for reference of all the heats Speedfan is telling me atm
