So I build my first PC two weeks ago and from then until now the CPU has been about 30-35 degrees Celsius idle and 50-60 on load. The most important specs are below
Intel i5 4960k Stock
ASUS Maximus VII Hero Motherboard
MSI GTX 970 OC
Fractal Design Define R4 Case with stock fans
Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
The thing that worries me about this is the fact that with the cooler and no overclocks I'd expect the CPU temps to be much smaller than they are. These temps are all with RealTemp so I doubt that it's the sensors that are faulty. I also tested Wolfenstein: The New Order and there was a noticeable drop in frame rates in a scene that before had 55-60fps constantly. The temperatures at load never increased past 60 degrees, so it's the idle temps I'm worried about.
What I most want to know is that if there is something wrong with the build whether it's permanent or can be fixed with either a new cooler (I'm thinking of getting the H100i) or a re installation of the CPU cooler with a reapplication of thermal paste? I'm scared that I've messed something up in the build process and have screwed my CPU in some way.
[EDIT] I have also noticed that Speccy isn't recognizing my ODD and when inserting a disc nothing happens. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
