i5 4670k stock clocks temps okay?

[cromedome]

My old mobo/cpu took a dump on me so i just bought an i5 4670k and MSI z87-g43 as the cpu was on a pretty decent special where i am. I am still using the Hyper 212 Plus though.

At idle the cpu is at 20 - 22 °C which is expected with the haswell chips. However, at stock clocks, and at load the temp quickly rises to 60+°C after just a few minutes and this was not expected (by me at least). I'm not worried as these temps are acceptable but i am a little disappointed as i expected about 10°C lower at load. Perhaps my cooler is not fitted perfectly.

My old i5 750 was overclocked to 3.5Ghz and while idle temps were a lot higher (say 8°C), the load temps were definitely not this high, about 8°C less than the 4670k.

Am i stuck with these temps or should i be getting better? I'm not that keen for summer to arrive now I will be remounting the heatsink soon as soon as i get a replacement board (faulty ram slots).

EDIT: Basically i want to know if i made a mistake buying a Haswell cpu and should i have rather gone with Ivy Bridge? I dont plan to overclock anymore....unless temps get a lot better or i get back into watercooling

Yes that look normal. As long you don't get sustained 80C on the cpu it is fine.

Yeah been playing games during the day and max temp on each respective core 45,45,46,43 °C, which im happy with. Was just very surprised as Prime 95 small FFT's cranked out 61 °C on all cores

I just read it isn't advisable to run Prime 95 on Haswell chips, whether or not that is the case, I am running Aida64 instead and the temps are considerably different. On CPU Stress only the temps are about 17°C lower than what Prime 95 cranked out. The CPU and FPU Stress has the core temps between 48 and 56 °C on average, it fluctuates a lot more than than just the CPU tests. Temps havent gone over 60°C yet and the ambient room temp is slightly higher than yesterday.

I am much happier now
