i just put together a new machine consisting of a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H motherboard and an intel i5-3570k CPU in a Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced case. I have a cooler Master TX3 CPU cooler on top of the CPU. I got in to the bios and see the idle temp for the CPU ranges between 37c and 40c. When i applied the thermal compound(Cooler Master High Performance) by placing a small amount on top of the cpu and slightly wiggling the cooler. I want to make sure that i did this step correctly since i'm not sure what the normal operating temp is for this cpu.

Re: New PC build question
temps are fine,remember that cpu will be running at full 3.5ghz until you enter windows so that power saving can be applied,then it will run at around 1.6ghz idle and full load clocks if needed,so idle temps will be around 22-30cGigabyte z77x UP4-TH F11c Modded Bios

Re: New PC build question
the cpu speed/voltage can scale up and down depending on the cpu load,if browsing the web it will run at low clocks if gaming or heavy video editing it will run at full cpu speed/voltages,you can turn this feature off in the bios but it should not affect stability and helps to use less power and run cooler if enabled,all modern graphic cards do this aswellGigabyte z77x UP4-TH F11c Modded Bios
