Need opinion for my CM Hyper 212 Evo
Hello peeps,

I installed my brand new cpu cooler and on idle i'm around 40c and on gaming mode aka BF4 etc max i'm reaching 50c.Isn't it a bit strange to get on idle so high temps?

And to answer your questions i did mount the heatsink 3 times and temps are stable and same

Any ideas?

A btw my cpu FX8120 (not oc'ed)

Also depends on your ambient temp in the room. My i5-3570k idles at around 38C, maxes in Prime95 at ~68C. In a ~30C room.

Your temps are fine.

Depends how agressive your fan curve is. 40C isn't a problem for anything so there isn't much of a reason to have the fan going at high speed and making extra noise. As long as your load temps are fine, and it seems they are, don't worry.
