Need advice: Strange thermal behaivior with SB

[Rygar9]

Hi all,

Need some advice. Here's the problem: Built my Sandybridge yesterday. Used 2600k, Assus P8P67, CM hyper 212 + in a CM 690 II Adv case.

What's occuring is that my temps at idle are around 28-30c in a 68 degree faranheit room at stock. When I run P95 my temps shoot up to over 60c, had them up to 62c.

I initially thought it was my cooler install. So I redid it...5 times. I used the paste that comes with the hyper212, trying it by drawing thin lines along the interior alluminum portions between the pipes, 3 different times. Tried the credit card spread once, and finally gave up and switched to AS5 and used the "Drop the size of a grain of rice on the processor" method.

None of it has worked. Each time I end up with the temps hovering around the same area.

Anyone have any advice? Do I suck at cooler installs? Do I have a chip with no headroom?

Any thoughts are much appriciated!

60C at Prime 95 doesn't seem high at all, even at stock. You are just being paranoid.

Really? Ok, good!

I wasn't sure what to expect and I'm coming from a C2Q, so it's a big difference to me. So I'll let the AS settle a little and then see what happens when I play with multipliers!

Tyvm for your answer!
