Custom Build computer high temperatures Sorry if this is the wrong section although from my understanding it should be here.
SO i have built myself a new PC with these specs:
CoolerMaster HAF 912 Combat with Window
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H Motherboard
Intel Core i7 3770k
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-10666CL9D-16GBXL 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti Power Edition OC 2GB
Corsair HX-750 V2 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply
Intel 520 Series 120GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
Lite-On IHES312 12X Blu-Ray DVD Combo Drive
ASUS PCE-N53 Dual Band Wireless N600 PCI-E Adapter
So Basically im getting around 37-47° C idle and on full load im getting 95-100° C, Now is that high temperatures? I dont understand, It is being cooled very well, It must be the thermal paste even though im positive i installed it right. Any Suggestions on what it could be?
*EDIT*
BTW Its Celsius the degrees are in Celsius not Fahrenheit.

If you are not using Arctic Silver thermal paste, get some as it will help the CPU cooling. Remove the old from the top of the CPU and bottom of the CPU cooler and apply the Arctic Silver, as directed, to the top of the CPU.
I tried several different coolers for my i7 3770 and finally settled on a Corsair H80 Liquid Cooling system. My CPU is not overclocked and at idle runs around 30 deg C and rarely goes above 40 deg C. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number My Own Build OS Windows 7, 64 bit Home SP1, Win 8 Pro 64 bit CPU Intel i7 3770 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Memory 16GB GSkill Ripsaw F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL Graphics Card Sapphire HD7770 Sound Card RealTek Monitor(s) Displays Viewsonic VA2448 Series 24" LED Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Kensington wired Mouse Logitech Wireless PSU Antec High Current Gamer HCG-620M Modular Case Coolermaster HAF XM Cooling Corsair H80 Liquid cooling with aftermarket Nexus quiet fans Hard Drives 240GB Intel 520 SSD for Win 7

To start,STOP using your computer, unless you want to fry your processor. You have a decent cooling unit and my best guess is, your thermal paste is improperly applied or your cooler is not probably installed. I presume you are not overclocking at this point in time even though you have an unlocked processor. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Homemade OS Win 7 64 bit professional CPU CPU: 3930K @ 4.8 MHz Stable as a rock Motherboard ASUS Rampage IV Extreme LGA 2011 Memory CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 Graphics Card EVGA SuperClocked+ GeForce GTX 680 Monitor(s) Displays Dell 3007WFP Screen Resolution 2560 x 1600 Mouse ratZ-7 PSU CORSAIR AX1200i 1200W Digital ATX12V v2.31 and EPS 2.92 SLI Cooling Water cooling EK Supremacy ELITE Hard Drives Vector(256gb) x 2

The thing is i NEVER reach full load, I barely use up 30% of the CPU at a time and no i am not overclocking, and i am 100% sure the thermal paste is applied properly, You apply a pea sized blob of thermal paste, Smooth it out on the top (I used a plastic bag to wipe it on), Make sure there are no bubbles or holes. It cant be the thermal paste. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit CPU AMD Athlon II X4 610e Quad-Core Processor Memory 6GB DDR3 Ram Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 6570 1024MB Screen Resolution 1080p Keyboard Razer Lycosa Mouse Razer DeathAdder Hard Drives 1TB Hdd Internet Speed 1.5MBps |
