hi im new and sorry if im posting this in the wrong place,

im running a i5 2500k at 4.6GHz with a corsair A70 and i was thinking of maybe getting a H100 or something else so i thought id check my temps against others online and my temps seem low (well not high) so i dont know if there is any point in me changing,

my idle temp is between 25 and 29, my load temp is between 60 and 70, i know its a good thing having them low but does this seem right to you. if you need to know any other specs just ask.

thanks

M

60-70 on load doesn't seem too bad to me, if you're not comfortable with those get a better cooler, but i'd be happy with them.

Most likely cooler as they don't need as much power to run
