What is a typical cpu temp for an idlling cpu (basic internet searching type activity)?
I am getting 96C which seems way too high.
My cpu speed currently is set to 1030 MHz.
I put the Cool master in and it has a mounting mechanism that doesn't let the base rest on the cpu. There is about 1/16 inch gap. I put the entire tube of thermal paste that came with the cpu, but I think either I mounted it wrong, or it needs a lot more paste.
Here is the cooler
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1366/1155
