Hello everyone,
I recently got a new system which includes an i7 4770k and a Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev. A. I set it up, ran Aida 64 and the temps peaked at 74-78C in a room with around 25C. I google'd the results and found out these are way higher that it should be with this cooler. In idle, it stays between 23 and 30C. I don't do OC, i keep everything standard. I asked on another forum and the replys were to change the CPU. I doubt the warranty covers that, since the CPU works, i didn't look into it. First, i wanna try more simple solutions. The thermal paste i used was the MX-2. Do you guys think the paste that comes with the cooler is better? If not, you have other sugestions? Maybe the MX-4? I'm a total noob when it comes to hardware, so keep it somewhat simple, not "delid the CPU"
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

The paste that comes with a cooler is generally 'Ok' but aftermarket paste is almost always better
