Is it normal that my 46 degrees idle and 57 on load?
using hyper 212+ with AS5
ambient temperature is around 28 probably, non aircond enviroment

don't worry. max temp. including amd website says temp max 70.
btw. u should work around to bring the idle temp down. my rig setup ( refer to my siggy) . i'll always got 42 idle temp. when in verry hot day. i mean very hot, make me don't go home after work. look here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1480866/+20. post #23

should i take the cpu temp or core temp?

cpu temp only.

u should worry more about the core temp though, cpu temp is usually the socket temp, not the cpu.

Go and reapply back ur thermal paste...and make sure the HSF mounting is great...

Or else, change to new cooler....

reapplied my thermal paste like 5-6 times, same result, tried AS5 and also the stock CM thermal paste

may i know about that more? my opinion is, i can make 1 core usage 100% using prime95. if 1 core that high, my cpu temp raise about 2 to 5 degree. if, prime 95 used by default setting, 100% cpu usage will distribute evenly between each core. each core do less. so, core temp always show less then cpu temp. so, my opinion again if wanna bring heat down usually i look the bigger figure. so, the bigger temp is cpu temp.

refer = cpu temp

worry = core temp

core temp high = cpu burn

Added on September 26, 2010, 12:09 pmjust bought a hyper 212 plus yesterday, i have to say its really a good cooler, (this result is with 2 fans, refer siggy)

my cpu(refer siggy) temp:

(cool and quiet off, c1e support off, cpu vid 1.4v, 3.6Ghz) idle 39C, load 48C, room temperature(no aircond)

(cool and quiet off, c1e support off, cpu vid 1.4875v, 3.8Ghz) idle 42C, load 54C, room temperature(no aircond)

what Thermal paste you using and how u apply it?

i use the thermal paste given, i just put lines between the pipes(something like this, the last one, http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?opti...1&limitstart=5)

make sure the srews are tight

and in a correct position
