I got really hung up on temperature but I think for mose of us non-OC'ers,
unless your PC is crashing all the time, your PC is fine.

Your temps do seem a little high. You said you put a thin coat of Arctic Silver 5,,,I think your CPU only needs a dab. See info below:

have you looked at your cpu fan. I know when mine was runing at 72 and my computer was got crazy slow I ended up taking a look, ok well after trying to swap cpus with a friend, anywho There was a think layer of dust between my cpu and heat sinc so the fan was doing nothing. I cleaned it out and it dropped back down to about 38-41, much much better.

Wow... you bought a such a highest quality aircooling heatsink for CPU that doesn't need high end heatsinks.

Anyways... temperature is alright as long as your system is stable.

But what I am thinking is your case cooling isn't too adequate? like it isn't exhusting the hot air from your CPU too good?

Running the same CPU on a MSI board - I get idle temps of 26-28 degrees, highest I've seen was 38 after doing some gaming. I'm just using a standard Intel heatsink fan btw.

So yeah, your temps seem a little high compared to mine at least.

Try reseating your heatsink, it was probably installed improperly.
