i5 2500k NH-D14 temperatues - Are they too high?
Ok i have recently built my new, and first, rig. Had a little trouble with some software issues but the great guys here helped handle that. So i thought i would see if more help could be recieved.
With i5 2500k, nh-d14 and a corsair 600t white case i am experiencing idle temperatures of about 36/37 to about 40 ( C ). Now i am new to the whole thing but thought they would be lower as i had people telling me it would be kept very cool. When i ran Prime 95 for 10minutes the temp was at 51-53.
So are these normal, or is this high? I was wanting to OC, but these are just stock temps. Im trying to know if i have installed it correctly (more about the paste part as i had not done it before. i dont believe i put too much paste on.
Any advice would be much appriciated.
