Hello,
I have an i5 4690k cooled by the Corsair h75 water cooler but i am getting around 37c on idle and max load temps of 56c using intel burn test. Are these good temps because i seen other people with the same cooler and a more powerful I7 processor get 30c on idle. Also my build is in a mini itx case so i don't know maybe if the smaller inclosure is contributing to the temps even though the radiator is mounted on the outside of the case. Is there any way to lower these temps because i am planning on overclocking in the future.

Specs:
i5 4690k
In Win 901 case
MSI Z97i ac
cx500m
16gb kingston hyperx ram
gtx 960 g1 gaming
corsair h75

Certainly those are great temperatures- perfectly fine and nothing to worry about...You are also perfectly right when you mention the case as a factor of you having slightly higher temperatures than other people. You temperatures are fine and there is nothing to worry about- if you are still concerned though, you could look into installing additional case fan if there is any space to facilitate it as well as you always have the option of leaving your PC case opened when running intensive programs. This allows increased cool air intake as well as hot air emission.
