E8200 with stock cooler, too hot?

[Ronaldo]

hi guys just installed e8200 with stock cooler, but temps seem to be high.

installing cod4 it was around 58*C , is this too hot?

I did have a fight with installing cooler, it did look like intel needed to put bit more paste on sink.

cheers

well i dont think so. its running on ga-p31-ds3l

i did have a problem with cpu_fan header (the fan stopped) so i switched it to case_fan1

doing a RMA for cpu header seems to be a bother but if i need to i will.

i think it was running at 1700RPM in bios, is this slow?

not planing to OC this as its not for me, its for niece.

What is the rpm for stock cooler?

 

[Ronaldo]

ok i just turned the new pc on and i'm getting like 45*C cpu1 52*C cpu2 idle....that why speed step

do maybe i need to resit sink? 1700RPM normal or should it be more?

cheers

yh i did something wrong, after it clicked in i turned it (the pins) now re seated and AS5 is on after i cleaned with tissue and water...(dont ask LOL)

its better. Happy with the system.

Thanks
