so I recently built a new system with a 3570k with an h100 in an asrock z77 extreme4. the h100 was from my previous build so I cleaned off the old thermal paste and applied some arctic silver 5, I know I should have probably gotten the mx4 but thats beside the point. I know that AS5 has a break in period but I just had a few questions if these temps are good, I want to overclock at some point and I wanna know if I have the room so here are my results.
I hopped on BF3 64 player to load up the CPU, I like prime95 but it scares me a little bit especially with this new equipment. I Idle at around 30* C and at full load on bf3 64 player I maxxed out at about 59* C on the hottest core.
I applied the thermal paste in a line method that was suggested on the arctic silver website, and I dont think I put too much on. The room I am in was quite warm at the time because in my house my room seems to be the hottest of them all. the fans are not push pull but I do have plenty of ventilation in the case. Also I do have dual graphics cards.
My question is are these temps acceptable for a stock 3570k with an h100? should I try and reseat the heatsink and apply the thermal paste again? or should I wait for break in period and see what temps are then? I tried doing a search on this forum and others but I really couldn't find much.
