Hi Blue, and welcome.
You're CPU is with in operating spec's (max spec temp is 69.8C). However for best stability you'll want to get it as low as possible (as I'm sure you are aware).
You seem to be doing all the basic stuff right, a good HSF and plenty of moving air. So my first suspect would be your thermal paste. If I were you I'd remove my HSF clean off all the thermal paste get some Arctic Silver 5 and put on a THIN layer.
If this is your first DYI system you probably put on the thermal paste a little thick or not evenly (it's an acquired skill). I always use something like an old credit card put the paste in the middle of the CPU core and from there thin it out to all sides. You really want it as thin as you can possibly get it while still covering 100% of the core. |
