Have i applied too much thermal paste
Last response: in CPUs
Well i got a 2600k a few days ago and the temps im having seem to be very high on idle. About 50c. I did apply quite a bit or thermal paste. Could this be causing the temps to be too high. Under max laod its at about 70c max. Should i take off the cooler and apply only a small amount. I have a corsair H50.
Some more info, it has been extremely hot in the past few days ~36+

This is a great video to give you an idea of how thermal paist spreads, and how much you need. I have been using the spread method for years but then my q9650 (very hot chip) was hitting 75 so I tired a the pea-bb in the middle method temp went down like 5-10 degrees.

May have put a bit more then that one. Should i re-apply
Best solution
Maybe. Didn't it come w/ thermal paste pre-applied? According to this review, the H50 idles at a higher temp than a stock HSF. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1025/6/
