Hey guys!
Got all setup with my build the other day, all parts ordered from NCIX and was assembled by them and tested.
Case:NZXT Phantom 530 White
Power Supply:EVGA 750 Watt Supernova
OS:Windows 8.1 64-Bit
Motherboard:ASUS Z97-A
CPU:Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.4GHZ(I am sure this is because of the Turbo Mode but my CPU-Z/Task Manager show it as 4.3/4.4Ghz constantly, which I am not complaining about but I figured it would be @ 4ghz unless I OC it myself. Unless the NCIX assemblers tinkered with it)
Memory:Corsair Vengeance 16GB @ 1600Mhz
Storage:Seagate 1TB HD/Crucial 250GB SSD
Video Card:Gigabyte GTX 970
I was looking at my temperatures and during idle it hops all over the place. Idle temps are between 37C-50C(3rd core only hits 50C, others are generally 45C or lower) with a Noctua D14 CPU Cooler. I have 2 120MM fans on the top for intake, 200mm in the front, and a 140mm in the rear as exhaust I believe. Plan on adding more.
The weirder thing is that under load, it is generally 65C or lower. So that didn't bother me too much, it was simply the idle temps.
Is this normal?
