3400+ getting pretty hot

[drpootums]

I just put my comp together with the Zalman 7000A AlCu and when i check the temps through the software that DFI gave me it shows me to be at 45 C idle and 50 C load (usually). I'm using stock thermalpaste, and it's probably been on for a total of 3 hours.

Is this normal? Will the temps get lower as time goes on?

Or is this caused by the stock bois?

Thanks for help!

i was just told by someone that 45 idle 50 load is ok as long as it's stable. That makes me feel better, but wat do u guys think?

Thats a pretty good temp, your fine.

If your comp is stable and can pass prime95 and memtest86 than dont worry about temps

that does seem a little high but not to bad. It probably has to do with the stock paste a little bit.
