This is the first aftermarket cooler i ever installed and i think i did it right. It was the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and my build is:
Asus p8z77-v pro
i5 3570k
GTX 680 FTW+ 4GB
NZXT Phantom Full Tower (I think the case fans are connected to the PSU since the Motherboard doesn't detect them)
2x4gb Corsair Vengeance RAM
Samsung 830 128gb SSD
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Asus DVD Drive
Corsair 850W Gold PSU
With the stock fan on 100% i was getting temps of ~45C Idle and now with the CM Hyper Evo at 100% i'm getting ~38C on Idle. Is this bad? Does something need to be RMAed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am really worried right now. Is the CPU being faulty a possible cause of this? Would it be ok to RMA now after i replaced the stock cooler with an aftermarket cooler?
