Tumpang thread.

Is it normal to see a i5-4570 non k hitting 80c when playing games ? I have not performed any OC and have just installed an old aftermarket cooler - CM Hyper TX 3.

The temp seems worst than the stock cooler....idle is 30 - 40c

was just worrying wrongfully applied thermal paste while changing to the old cooler which led to high core temp while gaming.

Any advice would be appreciated

the temp is quite abnormal plus u use 3rd party cooler..
mayb u can try to reapply TIM with cross method,proper thickness
or double check whether ur heatsink sit/fit properly on cpu....if not resit it back nicely

Thanks for your reply.

I have removed the cooler and found out that i have applied too much thermal paste and the heatsink is not stick firmly on the surface of CPU.

Wipe some thermal paste off and then reapplied the heat sink.

Idle temp is now 10 celsius lesser at 20 - 30c

Expect temp while gaming should be around 50 to 60c . haven't really tried that.

A lesson learnt.
