So I got a new CPU cooler (Cooler Master 212 Evo) and that fixed my CPU temps from being 60 degrees Celsius with no load... Around 30 now. I hope I put the right amount of thermal paste on.

How is the fan's speed controlled? Externally with a knob, temp sensor on the cooler or automatically? (using the header on the motherboard)

Personally I've always been partial to coolers where you have an external knob to control the fan with, I can simply ramp the fan to 100% before I start loading the CPU and I know for certain the cooler is operating at 100% of it's ability when it's needed.

I've gotten my 1090T up to like 58C just playing Minecraft, so that's not too insane, but idling at 60 is a little absurd.


I faintly remember you posting what case you have, is it one of the cases with a side-mount fan that's almost the size of the side panel? That sort of fan could very well interrupt the airflow the CPU cooler is relying on to operate properly, and even stop it from operating properly at all.
