First Build, I7 CPU Temps

Watlinguk · 6 Nov 2010 at 19:58

Hey folks. Just finished building my first build today, and it appears to be great so far.

The only one thing that is worrying me is the CPU temps. At the moment its idleing at around 45 degrees, havent had it full load yet, but im just worried that is way too hot? I have an i7 with a h50 corsair cooler on it. Ive fitted it correctly, im just woundering how i could reduce the temps please.

Also this is a speed fan reading it may help you, im not sure why it says theres only one fan running (cpu)

Idle seems ok, try running full load.

ive got a nzxt case which has a huge 200mm fan sucking the air out, just right above the h50 cooler. and a couple of 120mm fans on the door of the nzxt phnatom, the h50 comes with thermal paster applied to it and apparently cures almost instantly

Ideally run Prime or Intel Burn Test

Ah brilliant, well ive just done interl burn test and it completed successfully and for some reason my cpu temp is now 33 degrees, it must be fluxuating :/
