I am running with a Xigamatek S1283.



Does this seem like the correct temperatures?
Looking around it seems a bit high, and certain cores runs higher then others.
After doing some research, my temperatures seem high, as people are getting better temperatures with the Stock Cooler, or the Xigamatek at 3.6GHZ.

I ran Prime95 and hit around 59C after a bit, max.
Those above are pretty much Idle Temps.

Anyone know why my temps might be so high? Or what I can do to fix this?
I run with a NZXT Tempest, so airflow isn't a issue.
Ambient temperature 74-80F.
Also, I used AS5 for Thermal Compound.

Appreciate it.
 
those temps are normal. Idle is a bit high but who cares about that, load temps are what matter and those are fine.
 
So lets assume it hit 65C, would that be fine?
What is a temperature that I should watch for and back away from?
(Of course higher temperatures, but what is the limit?)

Thanks a bunch.
 
temps look high to me, volts look low.

idle should be just over room temp (25-27ish). if you keep your house at 21 (70f)
 
lookin OK to me... but you'll have to make sure you got nice airflow in your case to help the heat transfer out... what voltage are you actually at?? BIOS and actual?

VID is rather high, so you'll have to start cranking the voltage soon...
 
i spose its not too high compared to some of these newer q6600s, but there's definitely better
