i7 4770K Running 49-52 deg Celsius on BIOS?
Hello, recently I built my own PC (it's my first time), and I had the i7 4770K, and when I booted it to the BIOS, I noticed that it was pretty hot, about as hot as it should be when it's on full load.
I used the default cooler, and I even switched out the thermal paste, and still nothing has changed.
I have the default 2 fans installed (but I'm waiting for my Corsair case fan to arrive).
Here's my Build
