Idle cpu temperature - x3230

[mak]

Finally, I got this cpu installed and other upgrades as well. Thanks again for awesome mr. Big bios.

I wanted to ask if any of you monitored the idle cpu temperature after the upgrade. Mine seems to hover around 40 - 45 c under idle and I don't know if that's normal range. I read somewhere that it should be around 20-30c.

The fan noise seems louder because I installed GeForce gt730 with fan on it.

If that's the case, I'm thinking I may have to redo thermo paste again??

I think those temps sound about right. I ran a Q6700 which was a bit hotter. See here:

I don't think you will get 20-30 with the VGX cooling setup.

Sounds similar to the temps I used to get on my x3230...



...and I never had any issues with my XL301

VGX-XL302 with X3230 working here between 51-58c. Very well aligned with previous comments

have the same temperature: 50-59c
