2600K Stock Cooler Temps Normal?

I'm wondering if these stock cooler temps are normal, they seem very high to me, even for the crappy intel cooler.

Running prime95 blend test.

Idle temps are 40°c-45°c

What is your room temp?

it is high but under full load for an extended period the temps might rise to that. it would be definitely worth getting an after market cooler even if you intend to keep it stock speed, things like dark rock pro's and dark knights seem to work well without too much noise

I'm not sure on room temps.

I will be getting an aftermarket cooler (Silver Arrow) next week.

Thanks.

That is the way to go as the standard cooler is pretty useless...

Probably about right there crap.

On my rig when i had stock fan on i stress tested on stock setting and temps went into the 80s so i stopped it.

Im on water so i wasn't bothered anyway was just testing new rig
