Im bit worried about my CPU temps so im posting this.

Im using stock intel cooler and while idleing temps are around 50C but when i start watching streams or 1080p youtube i get temp high as 62C
BIOS version is 1002


Is this normal whit stock cooler and should i be worried?

That's probably normal for the stock cooler. You should also be worried -- the stock cooler really limits the abilities of unlocked K CPUs. A larger air cooler like the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo will drop those temperatures about 10C and give some room for more strenuous computing. If you could get it to fit, a giant air cooler could drop temperatures another 5-10C (5 at idle and 10 at load).

A small all-in-one water cooler would cost the same or less than a giant air cooler, fit on the M7H easily and get temperatures down 15 to 20C for the loads you mention.

Any of these cooling options comes with some thermal paste that is much better than the stuff on the stock cooler.

Are you looking forward to serious games? Overclocking? Those will certainly require water cooling and good thermal paste.

It all depends on what your ambient (room) temperature is and if you have OC'd your CPU at all.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

@HiVizMan

I didnt OCed my processor.
I dont know why when i set CStates on Auto in BIOS temps go high as 55C on idle but when i set Enable it goes under 40C.

But on my MicroATX board H81M-K on Auto CStates it works flawlessy even better then Enabled.

I would say this is BIOS issue rather then HW.
Please can you look into it?


Thanks

That is certainly not normal with my ambient of 20'C those temps you mentioned but I still do not know what your ambient is so can not say if they are normal or not for you.

I wonder if you have a corrupted bios flash. Use the bios USB flashback method and a fat formatted USB drive and re-flash your motherboard bios.

What other changes are you making in the bios, please so list them all.

My ambient temp is currently 30C

Im going to do BIOS Flashback now and will report.

But is it normal that CStates are not used if they are set to Auto in BIOS?

I think that some C states are not used on defaults. I leave my system on auto for C states and it sleeps perfectly. And I have low temps.

But you are using costum CPU cooler or?

Okay did BIOS Flashback.
Ambient temp is still 30C

All in BIOS is set to Default.
CStates are on Auto.
Temps are still high as 55C for idle.

What CPU cooler do you use?
Is there a way to check what CStates Windows is using?
Also note this that im using Windows power plan "High Performance"

check out power management in Windows..by default core speed min should be 5% under cpu management around 800 MHz..at that speed more or less temps are around 35 on stock cooler

if you crank that up temps will also increase depending on the work load of the cpu
