I3-2120 High Temps (Newly Installed)

[Regor245]

Hello, I've bought a Brandnew Intel i3-2120 with mobo and ram today.

I've installed parts just a few minutes ago and i saw temps are too high.. Is it normal? or i have to reseat/replace thermal paste.

Using stock cooler...

By the way, My 2nd question is, is it recommended to reprogram/reinstall OS after changing motherboard and processor?

is it on load or idle?

Idle..

By the way, The stock cooler was lack of push.

But i already changed my cooler to DeepCool icedge Mini FS and it's 2-3c lower at idle. But still kinda high.

____________
I will try to set bios in default, becaused i've changed the Fan rpm limit to "ignore", because it's giving me an error (CPU Fan Error) in bios everytime i boot.

I'm using Asus P8H61-M LX3 Plus motherboard...

i think its suppose to be at that temps, if its 60-70 at load it should be ok
