It's summer and 42 is my idle temp for my i5 4460.
I already bought an aftermarket cooler

Don't complain. It's winter here and my 955 BE is at 45-ish degrees.
I'm running the stock cooler, but the temps weren't that bad last year.
Maybe the MX-4 is really dry...

Intel is meant to be cooler than AMD housefires no?
>>55522562
Your shit is busted, my i7-2600k is idling at 36c and that's with the fan speed down to ~650 RPM

>42 is my idle temp
Who cares about idle? Run linpack and if temps are below 85 you're good.
>>55522562
Who the fuck cares? As long as it's sub-80 under 24/7 load, or sub-85 under a non-24/7 load, you're fine and it won't make any difference.
>mah sub 65 temps!
You're a moron who cares more about a number than the actual significance that number has.

th-thanks
But don't high temps shorten the cpu life?
>>55522680
AMD sensors fuck up under idle. I'd take that with a grain of salt.
>>55523540
low temps will shorten your life you fucking pussy
>>55523540 Theoretically yes, electron migration and all that shit, but in practice cpus lifespan is well above 10 years even at harshest conditions.
