I just put together a new machine with an i7 3770k, Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, Intel DZ77GA-70K and 16GB Corsair Vengeance Low Profile RAM. I feel like my temps are bit high on the CPU. I used Arctic Silver 5 and just put a pea-sized amount on the processor. Everything is running at stock speeds and I have disabled TurboBoost. I am idling 35-45 degrees on each core and load goes up to 60 degrees. Core 0 seems to be highest and closest to 45 while Core 1 is a little lower. Core 2 and 3 appear to be even lower (<40) and about the same temp. Is this normal? Should I try removing and re-applying the thermal paste?
