2600k stock temps

[iamloco724]

i finished building my first pc a few months ago but still didnt finalize it just put in my video card and added some more fans so i ran some tests again


i dont know if will ever overlock but i assume down the line i will

i have a coolermaster 212 evo

so firstly when people talk about there idel temps do they mean temps while in windows and nothing is really doing anything or do you they mean in bios before windows loads

well if its in windows i goes anywhere from 30-45c it seems with it just sitting doing nothing

so i ran prime95 for about 18 hours and that maxes it out at 64-66c during that 18 hours room temp was anywhere from 71-78 f

then today i ran ibt ran that at max 8 threads 10 passes max was 68c with room temps being around 75-77 f

both ran with no errors

does this seem like good temps? for running stock? and do you think my cooler is sitting good?

besides the cpu fan i have 2 140mm fans on top for exhaust one in the back for exhaust and 2 front intake

stock cooler is like that... most likely you will never reach those Prime95/IBT temps unless you do like F@H/prime testing 24/7. they seem fine...

most people talk about idle temps in Windows. For 1155, inside the BIOS, the CPU has SOME load, not totally idle...

stock cooler is like that

He's not using the stock cooler, he's using a 212 Evo. He's at stock speeds.

In that case, I would say that the OP's temps sound high to me. Many people OC their SB to 4.5, and get those temps. Not at stock speeds.

the stock cooler happens to keep my 2500k at around 60cel max load with stock thermal paste

see whats weird is ive been reading elsewhere like its said above that bios temps are higher but i just checked in bios and its idel at 27-30c which is lower then what im getting in windows

You might need to use another program to ensure you are seeing the correct temps, I use HWMonitor, I think Speccy also has some limited info too. Those temps do seem too high though -- 45c at idle is a little eye-raising. I have a 2700k and I see like 25c idle and like 45c load. P95 will take it to the low-mid 50s depending on ambient and IBT a little higher and will sometimes even hit the low 60s depending on ambient. However, without using any stress tester and just using the computer in everday use I rarely get above 45c. So I've had the computer up for 6 days now and HWMonitor loaded the entire time and the max temp on the highest core is maybe 46. Ambient temp is the biggest factor my ambient environmental temps have ranged from like 50-80 deg farenheit when in use as it's been winter. Plus my computer likely sees more use at night when its cooler...so again ambient.

You also might want to have resource monitor open -- can run it from task manager as while you may THINK your computer is idling there may be some background process(es) that's actually using a fair amount of resources. IE -- windows file search indexing, virus/malware scan, defragging, updating, or even a crashed program. This weekend Java kept crashing on me streaming a certain file to my TV and it would stay resident gobbling like 15+% CPU and if I did it again it again would crash with another instance using another 15+% -- (was just an issue with the file -- probably invalid wrapper/corrupt). I did not notice the extra CPU usage, but as I like ALWAYS have HWMonitor running I noticed it extremely quickly. I recommend running a temp monitor a while 24/7 to get a feel for what temps are typical for your system depending on ambient & load.

It also seems like multi-display can tax the CPU -- I will occasionally hook mine up to my TV and one night for some reason unhooking the HDMI cable did not trigger the computer to switch back to primary only and so in the morning I noticed some unusual CPU temps of like 35c when it is usually low 20s c. And of course your build setup and cabling management matters - I have a Corsair 600T case w/2x200MM fans, plus Corsair H60 cooler w/additional fan+rad. It sounds like what you are seeing could be the correct temps and while they could be better it doesn't appear to be anything to be concerned about.

I have the 212 plus on a 2600k. Stock speeds so no overclock. Case is an Antec 1100.
2 - 120mm fans bottom front blowing in across drive bay
1 - 200mm fan on top rear blowing out (so it is right above the cpu cooler)
1 - 120mm fan top back blowing out
1 - 120mm fan on side (behind motherboard) blowing in at the rear of cpu/motherboard

at the windows 7 desktop with nothing running. my idle temp is average 18c
and after several hours of gaming it tops out at 35c - 40c
The cpu cooler fan is set to run at %20 at idle (~750rpm) and ramp up as temp rises.
the fan only at 40% after hours of gaming.

your idle temps seem too high. you sure the evo is connected correctly? too much thermal paste?
