I have Coolermaster Hyper 612 on my i5-2500.
http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6728
The idle temp is 35 C. Load at 52-53 C. I touch the heatsink.....cold.
I tried multiplier 40 with everything else at stock.
Running 4000 Mhz at stock voltage, Idle temp is 40 C. Prime testing (100% each core) reach 65-67C. Room temp: 30C.
I touch the heatsink.....hardly even warm......strange .....as if there is very little heat transfer from the CPU to heatsink.
Is it normal that the heatsink is still so cool while the CPU temp reaches 65-67C ?
I wonder whether it is the characteristic of the thin-fin design of the heatsink.
I remember my old Athlon heatsink feels so hot when the cpu reaches 60C, but then the heatsink is made of thick aluminium.
Does my CPU temperature sound right to you ?
Or should I reinstall the heatsink ?
I'd rather not unless it is really bad, because I have to take off everything again, which means serious business.
