Hey guys a new 212Evo user here, and I just wanna check and see how my temps sound. I sometimes mess up seating coolers, as I have hand tremors. It makes it very difficult to get it on well and make sure I dont lift it after it goes there. For the record, I used Arctic Silver 5, tinned the sink, did a line down the proc, etc. But whenever I actually place it down my hand always slips, or shakes, or twists, or whatever, and I'm always worried its not seated right. Cooler anxiety, if you will.

Its a 3570k (ivy) oc'd to 4.1, auto voltages at the moment. I idle around 30C. Max it hit during a few hours (4) of prime95 earlier was 70. Usually does around 64-68 during load.

My first core usually runs about 7-9 cooler, although I am very aware that a core here or there may have a variance. The other 3 usually run pretty close to one another.

So guys, should I have lower temps with this modest OC? Does these sound right to anyone? I just always get a bit concerned b/c as a day or two goes by, temps seem to go up. I know the AS 5 has a long break in, so once again just may be that cooler anxiety over seating issues I may have.

And by the way, does anyone else always worry that they seated their coolers incorrectly? Am I the only one who gets "cooler anxiety?

Get off auto volts and OC manually. But those temps seem about right in the range of results. Depends on fan setup as well since that is an important factor

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)



I've seen people use a CD cut in half to remove the top fin. Seems to work very well.

But anyway... I think I might do that. Paint mine blue. What type of paint are you using btw?

I used some Rustoleum Clean Metal Primer and then sprayed it with some Krylon Engine Paint. If you don't want to spray primer first you could probably get by using Krylon Fusion, or pretty much any other spray paint.

It turned out really nice this way and if you are careful not to spray at too much of an angle you won't get any on the lower fins. Plus if you have paint and a piece of paper it won't cost anything extra.

Is there any negative effect from the tops of the copper pipes having paint on them?

Since they are probably the least effective fins due to little heat making its way up there... I would suspect not.
