Kind of new to the whole temperature thing with computers here and want to be sure I'm not doing something wrong here but these temps seem a bit too high for the parts and case that I'm using with the idle temps. Let me know what you guys think, thanks!
Room Temperature fluctuates between 70°F/21°C - 74°F/23°C
Idle Temps and parts are:
CPU
Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz (No Turbo or OC) - 82°F/28 °C
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z97X-Gaming 5 - 89°F/32 °C
Graphics
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 ACX 2.0 FTW (EVGA) - 84°F/29 °C
Storage
111GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 120GB (SSD) - 93°F/34 °C
3726GB Seagate ST4000DX001-1CE168 (SATA) - 89°F/32 °C
Cooling Setup is:
Case: Corsair Air 540 with 5 case fans, 1 CPU fan - 2 in front for intake, 2 on top and 1 on rear for exhaust.
Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo using a Noctua NF-P14 FLX (140mm) Fan instead of stock. Using Noctua's NT-H1 Thermal Compound.
GPU is standard heatsink that came with card, thermal compound has not been re-applied. Also using MSI Afterburner for fan curve to keep idle and load temps lower.
