I have a 3770k and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus cooling it. Although recently I've noticed that the temperatures are way too high for the load it was under. My friend has a Hydro H100 and a 3770k and his temps are cooler on every level. I don't mind if my fan gets loud but is there any way to make the fan rotate faster to get it cooler? There must be some BIOS settings I can configure but I'm not sure how to. If not BIOS is there any 3rd party application?

Here is a temp of my reading at idle:

Since it wouldn't let me take a screenshot during a CPU stress test the temps hovered around 82-85C while under 99-100% load.

I feel like my temps while idle are too high, I can understand 100% load being 85C (even though that is still really high, bcz my friend only gets in the low 70s.)

My fan just doesn't sound very loud and I definitely think I might burn my CPU out in the near future bcz some CPU demanding games are already starting to stutter.

Thanks in advance.

When you applied the thermal paste, did you fill in the gaps between the heatpipes like this?

If not, then that's the culprit. Even with thermal paste applied properly like this, the cooling performance will still be inferior to the H100.

Do you have 2 fans on the cooler? How is airflow in your case?

Yeah I'm thinking of picking up a liquid cooling unit perhaps I'll get better results. I just remember applying thermal paste regularly and it was quite a while ago. Havent changed the paste in well over 2 years. Should I?

Just 1 fan on the cooler. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065 thats the cooler right there.

Airflow is good, it goes right out the side of the case and the top gets sucked in thru the back plate.

Yeah, and make sure it fills the gaps as shown on the page I linked to. The 212+ has good performance when thermal paste is applied completely. This is the only solution for getting the 212+ to perform as it was intended to perform.
