Cooling What temps you getting you on your 2600/2600k?

I've just installed one and this is the idle temp, this high or not too bad? I think it's ok myself



Also what cooler you using with your setup?

 

Why cooler are you using? They seem ok maybe just a couple of degrees higher. I get around the 30c on my 2700k idle and im using a H100

 

Whats your ambient chaps? The temps dont mean much without knowing your room temp

 

on high fan settings on my antec 1200, at a ambient room temp of 21 degrees c, at idle,

i get about 28-29

on prime95, other variables same as above, it ranges from about 58-64

cooler is nh-d14


also your temps look pretty normal, i take it you aren't using an aftermarket cooler. if you were then they would be way too high

 

also, think yourself lucky your cores are so close in temperature! 2 of my cores are about 5 degrees higher than the other two.. so i could potentially get my temps lower haha

 

I know not 2600k but 2500k I get 30 with ambient about 26/27 and full load about 54-58 with an OC to 4.5 and dark rock pro

Dark Rock Pro Advanced, nowhere near as good as the Corsair H100 you're using though so I can live with my temps I reckon

Right now about 21 degrees celsius.

I am actually! lol. I'm using a Dark Rock Pro Advanced..

I doubt using Intel's stock cooler the temps would be anywhere near 35 degrees celsius, more like 50 probably.

 

hmm that does seem slightly high then. try reseating it?

 

Well I would (it looked pretty flush/seated right when I fitted it though) but that would mean taking my whole pc apart and unscrewing the motherboard from the case etc which would be a major ballache!

This ThermalTake Element S case DOES have a cutout for attaching a backplate to the motherboard but stupidly doesn't account for the bottom 2 holes (for the screws that screw the backplate in place) on the motherboard to be screwed into AFTER attaching the motherboard to the case, so I had to do it before..

I mean idling at 36 degrees celsius isn't a problem anyway I wouldn't think, and certainly not something I'm worried about

I may well sell this Dark Rock Pro Advanced soon though! If I can find a cooler that doesn't need screwing in from the bottom of the motherboard!

 

21ºc ambient

 

Oh what I forgot was I've overclocked my CPU to 4.8ghz so around 30c is very nice idle

 

But what cooler are you using?

I should have really posted what are your temps using only the standard intel cooler or an aftermarket heatsink/fan lol.

Watercooling or similar such as Corsair H100 (extreme performance liquid CPU cooler) will always beat any aftermarket cooler such as the Dark Rock Pro Advanced

Considering your using a H100 (which is far better than my Dark Rock Pro Advanced) and getting 30 degrees celsius is pretty decent (even though you've overclocked to 4.5ghz) so my temps of 35, 37, 35 and 37 across the four core @ 3.4ghz I wouldn't say is too shabby at all.
