Hi,

I have my sig system and it sits around 40C on idle and 68C at load with a ambient temp of 28C (2500k @4.5/1.28v, Corsair a50)

Does this seem hot, and should I reseat my heatsink?

I'm just asking because I see people with similar heat sinks idle in the mid 30's and load at 60C or so

Thanks

That sounds about right. That's a really high ambient temp. Most have their's around 18-20c.

Your idle is a little high, but nothing outrageous.

It does seem higher than it should be to me. Is your rig in an enclosed area like a desk hole by chance?

Edit: or maybe I'm really finicky.

It's under my desk, but not enclosed by any means

Perhaps it's my ambient like Jaguarbamf stated, I might remount my heatsink later and see if it changes anything

Your ambients are on the high side and i would try and remount the a50. When reapplying the tim use a half sized grain of rice application. Using to much can be just as bad. All in all i think it's just a matter of lowering your ambients.
