Just built my new system today, 2500k build.
The temperatures idle when I first used it after I ran about 25 - 30 minutes of Prime95 with Large FFTs and let it settle were 33 - 37c. Load temperatures during that Prime test were 68 - 72c. They are a tad high but given it's a HTPC case inside a TV stand with a closed door and a stock cooler I thought they were okay.
However I rebooted to enable that extended memory profile on my RAM as it was running at 1.5v / 1333 mhz rather than 1.65v / 1600 mhz. After I did that (basically just turned XMP on and it put the correct stuff in) the idle temperatures of the CPU are now about 50c and the load temperatures are 80c which is a bit toasty.
I've reseated the cooler three times after the change, and also used Arctic paste rather than the Intel stuff and no difference.
Any idea why?
