i5 3.4 h100i watercooled

Being in the BIOS this does usually put a little load on the cpu and this will be at full speed and not at a lower speedstep state.

Also your fans slow so yes, temps are good.

Fans on rad are running at 1000rpm? and i can barely here them...
 
Peace & Quiet :D

Idle temps are always hard to gauge, full load temps are more suitable to check.

Cool well ill install a new os tomorrow, first build in 8 years.. and it booted first time :)

Never done watercooling either :D
 
Nice :D

Always nice when it goes well :)

I'm in the middle of sorting mine, got the CPU & GPU. Just need to sort the motherboard :)
 
right now I have an i7 860 on an h60 doing 26c on idle and 50c at prime95 with the case open so you're about right there!

Yeah case closed its 30-32'c :) ill see how it is in prime95 tomorrow when booted in, if it does go too hot, is it usually just a reseat needed?
 
Pretty much if that does happen.

Well i had to reseat it anyhow, because the tubing was blocking me from installing an optical drive, so i switched it around, i booted up at bootup soon as i go into bios CPU temp reads at 22'c its then a very steady clim to 29-32'c and doesnt budge i think ive seen it once go to 33'c but it fluctuates 3'c +/-
 
Yeah that sounds fine.
Maybe a tad hotter than usual but not enough to worry about.

Was browsing the internet and apparently its common place for the haswells to run hot? only way of really lowering temps significantly, is to delid?
