Need Help: Haswell temps higher idle than under load

Hi guys, I recently did a build i5-4430 and I am experiencing a problem. The temps under idle are higher than load. I am using the stock Intel cooler.

I have attached photos to better show what I am trying say.

Does anyone know what the cause is and how I could fix it?
 
Your fan isn't spinning very quickly at idle.

At load, the CPU heats up, the fan spins faster, and the CPU ends up cooling even more than at idle.

You can go to BIOS and set a higher default speed or a lower desired temperature.

However, it doesn't matter, the temperatures you show look fine.
 
I disabled smart fan in motherboard bios and still the same thing. This is weird because temps should generally be lower when idle, not higher.

Need your guys' advice to what action to take here.

Thank You.
 
Nevermind guys. I apologize for this thread. Please delete if possible.

I updated my version of coretemp to the latest one and now see correct temps. The idle is at 31 degrees.


Thank You.
 
CoreTemp is showing you the delta to TjMax, not the actual temp. The lower the delta, the hotter the CPU is running. Thus, your numbers are correct.

Side note: CoreTemp does this for CPUs that it doesn't recognize because it needs to know TjMax a priori.
