I finally got i5 2500K yesterday and noticed in BIOS that CPU temperature is about 55 °C which seemed way too high for idle CPU. I figured I didn't attach the CPU heatsink properly so I reattached it. BIOS then showed about 45-58 °C.
I installed RealTemp and did some testing, turns out temperature is in anywhere between mid 30s and low 40s when idle and in all ranges of 60 when under 100% load.
Are these temperatures normal for stock heatsink? I'm also using the default thermal compound. I can't say I'm not worried about temperatures being to high.
I'm getting Zalman CNPS9900 MAX next month and I hope idle temperatures could be below 30 °C and 100% load temperatures below 50 °C on stock clock speeds. I plan to OC to 4.0-4.5 GHz as well.
Help is much appreciated.
