H70 2600k temps

I have a cooler master H70 on a 2600k CPU running @ 4400Mhz with a voltage of 1.355

I am getting what I feel is quite high idle temps,

36 - 39 - 41 - 36

under prime (small FTTS) my maxes are

65 - 71 - 75 - 67

PC was setup by OC'UK, so I am not sure what thermal paste was used?

Should I be worried about these temps?

edit:

Downgraded overclock a bit:

Now running at 4300 with a voltage of 1.335 (this is what OCUK Shipped with, even though their profile loads stock settings)

idle temps as follows:

31 - 33 - 38 - 32

Prime load Max temps

59 - 64 - 67 - 61

have you got the fan sucking air from out side your case blowing it into your case? if not put it that way and test again should drop temps a little.

some people will tell you its not the right way but the air on the out side of your case will always be cooler than the air inside your case.

so cooler air through your rad = cooler cpu temps.

if you do have your fan that way i would reseat your block as the temps do seem a little high. but its been warm the last week or 2
 
I didn't install in (was a full build from OCUK), but I think it's setup to suck air in was you suggest.

It is setup using the speed reducer cables also, but I have been told that they are very load without theses.

OCUK Support has suggested I can replace a Fan with ones of these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-059-AK, and actually run with the one fan?

Looking at how the Fan pins are installed, the fans are in the CPU fan header, and the other cable is plugged into the case fan header? IS this the correct way?
 
My H70 cooled core temps are all around 25-29'c idle and 50-55'c load on the same chip at 4.6ghz (from OcUK too) with the fans blowing out of the case (local temp is about 15-20'c).

If I turned my fans around then the hot air from the GPU exhaust (which is 2in below) would be sucked in as my case is only 3in from the wall so the GPU air has nowhere to go.

I'll be replacing the fans though as they are far too loud for me compared to my previous W/C'd setup. Both my fans are plugged into the CPU header on a splitter.

What voltage are you using? I am very concerned out how this has been installed, and for a new build, I don't really want to be taking the block out, and resitting it. Besides everything else, I don't have any thermal paste currently.

the air in your case will always be hotter.

if you must have it the other way you need a lot of air going into your case to cool it down to get be restults
 
MP3Duck - CPU Volts varies from stock to 1.35V (3.4ghz to 4.6ghz on "turbo")

I've an Antec 1200 so 4x 120mm fans blowing in, 1x 200mm & 2x120mm fan (H70) sucking out so lots of airflow :)
 
I think I'll upgrade the H70's fans to the one I mentioned earlier, set as intake, then install another 200mm fan in the top of the case to vent the hot air.

Also, the replacements fans are speed controllable, which means they can run faster whilst under load.

I have the speed reducer cable installed right now, as from what I've heard, they are very load at full speed.
 
I've just bought two Noctua NF-S12B FLX fans from OcUK - Same airflow but 8-10db quieter per fan at 1200rpm or only 15% less airflow for 16db less noise at 900rpm (if your temps are ok with less air).
 
1200rpm is their top speed with reducers for 900/600rpm included in box. At 1200rpm/18db it's producing 60CFM instead of the 50CFM the stock fans produce at 1600rpm/26db - They're very good!
 
I don't know about the Viper (not enough info about Noise vs Airflow vs Fan Speed) but for the H70 the NF-S12B FLX is better than the other Noctua and equal to the Apache Super Silent but the Noctua has a 150,000hr fail time (3 times as long as the others) with a 6year waranty, which sold them for me.

I started a thread above this one about fans with a chart in that is useful.
 
is there an easy tell, (by looking) to see which way the fan is mounted? I am trying to feel for air, but I am not sure if I am feeling air being sucked in, or blown out?

The coolermaster logo if facing out on the inside, but I have no clue if there is a logo on the other side too!

Just hold a strip of paper next to it!. If it's sucking then it will stick to the mesh cover/vent!

Thats usually the safest, what I've always done was use a fine bit of thread as a double check. I've always had it right. However, the part on the fan that has the 4 bars is normally the direction where the air will blow. Most fans it's obvious in their shape which way it blows. It's always why those bits are always manky with dust.
