Is my idle temp too high ?

ok, today i re-applied TIM and monitored temps with some benches ( prime95, fur-mark). Now my cpu idle temps are within 42-45C and load temp arround 60-56C (no oc, turbo off). Does it sounds good now ?

These temps are not even close to good. Ur temp shud be mid 30's. Load temp not exceeding 50-55. and this temp shud be stock Intel HSF. With air cooling u shud be running cooler.

Get it RMA'd dude!

Do they really RMA CPUs for this problem?
Well my temps. at stock is around 45c-50c. Should i too get my CPU RMAed?

No, seriously.

His temps are fine. I am having the same chip - seen it go from all the way 22 C idle in winter to now 44 C idle in summer. Load 50-60 C. (Hyper 212 Evo)

With Yintel stock cooler, i5-2500k crossed 75 C running Prime95. (In Winter)

Ambient is 38 C at the moment.

ico - really?? 60°C + at stock speed with Hyper212 is still pretty high temps.......

My 1090T is idling at 35°C.... and its not touching 55°C under prime95...
I thought 2500k wud be a little cooler due to lower TDP... anyways I haven't tested it personally in summers, I talk from a retailers experience.. :)

saswat - Yes, apparently they do RMA for that reason...

tbh, in my opinion - Temperature junction of Phenom II processors is borked by 5+ degrees.

AMD Phenom II comes with much better stock coolers compared to Intel ;-)

AMD should look into their HSF design one last time. i really find it odd that instead of using a bigger fan (and silent one) they are using heatpipes that only drives the end price high.

Core i5 2500k with Hyper 212 Evo

Ambient temp- 40C

Idles - 43-46C

Load - 57-59 @ 99-100% Usage

The temp is fine in stock settings, however overclocking the CPU in summer days is something you'd avoid with this cooler.

ico - Really? Ive had pretty accurate readings from the 790FXTA+X6...

topgear - check out the stock HSF that comes with Athlon II X3. :p
