I5 2500k no overclock temp question

[lex-321]

So i have the stock cpu cooler that came with, and I have the asus p8p67 evo rev 3 mobo. Coolermaster 690 2, with 2 fans + the power supply fan, and a gtx 560 oc2.

I've noticed that one of the fan of my rig is extra noisy, and after downloading the monitoring tools from asus it seems to either be my cpu fan or the video card fan (which I can't tell)

Under gaming (f1 2010, civ v, lotro, all games under fullest of graphics) which is where I notice this, the cpu fan will often run at 3k rpm and the cpu will range between 45% to 80% at a temp hovering around 65 to 70C.

Is that at all normal?

I was already thinking of getting an other cpu cooler, but would still appreciate advice if it's needed under the current use or not. I don't overclock this pc, yet as it also serve as my work station for recording.

Forgot to mention that as I'm writing this the ambiant temp is 32c with humidex.

"the cpu fan will often run at 3k rpm and the cpu will range between 45% to 80% at a temp hovering around 65 to 70C."

This is definitely an indication that you need better cooling at the CPU. Pick youreslf up a CoolerMaster hyper 212 EVO cooler and you'll get lower fan speeds and cooler temps.

normal temps with the stock cooler and 32 degrees ambient temperature

Yeah, but the fan is running at 3k to achieve 70 degrees. Not very good. An aftermarket cooler will yield better results, as well as lower his noise.

I would recommend you get a aftermarket cooler one of either of these would do the trick CPU Cooler:COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+

Seems normal to me, especially if you're at 32c ambient.

Alright thanks Guys, think I'll go with the hyper 212 since it's seems the smallest of the two, and I don't want to lost my side fan options. Not to mention it's twice cheaper than the v6 gt, at my usual dealer, and has a lower db noise ration when it's in idle.

Good choice
