H80i + 4770K question

I recently bought both, and have never used a water cooler before. I'm running stock speeds on the processor. However I'm curious about temps. From what I can tell i am getting average temps.
At idle its hovering around 30-32C, and running a stress test it hovers around 60C. I'm a complete noob with the this sort of thing. And am wondering if those seem normal?

Thanks
 
What exactly are you using to stress and what settings? As a 140ºF under stress is pretty good for a H80i. Or it could be down clocking from the heat. Are you watching the cpu speed and temp the whole time you are stressing out the cpu?

Are you using the full amount of ram int he settings? And I'm assuming you are using the latest build of prime95 also? I rather use Intel Burn Test than p95. But that is just me as it seems the latest p95 makes it heat up a little more then I feel safe with.
 
Those temps seem about right. What is your ambient room temp? One thing I noticed with my H80i on my 4670k is the position of the block on the CPU. I had to move the block around a little to get it perfectly centered otherwise temps shot up a little. You can try that.

Also, what is your vcore set to? The stock settings on my motherboard were horrible. Unnecessary high voltages for stock speeds. Just by dropping the voltages down to where they should be cut my temps a lot.

Post your BIOS settings.
 
I checked the water block, and seems to be centered. Also the vcore in the bios is set to auto at 1.034V
 
That is about what all of them idle at for the 4770k. I would be more worried about the load temps than the idle temps. I like coretemp for reading temps. As it seems to work a little better than realtemp. But honestly 60ºC seems to be great for a single aio loop. They are just hot running 22nm chips.
