6700k with 212 Evo Temps at 70 playing witcher 3

[asgharmusani]

So, just built a pc for a friend. Until the Evo was delivered was using stock intel cooler (4th gen one). Got Temps of 82-86 on witcher 3 playing 20 minutes. Not good. After that I didn't game on it waited for the cooler.

Got the cooler and then replaced it. At first, I used the cooler master thermal compound that came with it and got around 80 again.
I tried again with a chinese thermal compound available for 30rs... After which the Temps went max at 72° for playing 45 minutes. The Temps seem high :/

I'm running at normal 4ghz, No overclocking. The board is a z170a gaming m5. Running the Evo with push only config.

Anyone who is using a similar setup can you relate to it? Or tell me your Temps.
Is it just me or karachi is really hot these days?

ANOTHER PROBLEM with the windows was that after going to sleep there was no way reviving it up. Had to do a force shutdown using the power button. Anyway around that?

72 degrees is fine for that processor with air cooling, especially in the ambient temperatures of Pakistan. Ensure that for your Keyboard and Mouse, the Allow this device to wake the computer setting is checked. You will see this setting in the devices Properties box, under Power Management tab, this could be a reason for PC not waking up.

Add another fan to improve the cpu temperature

If above option does not work than try to reset the bios

Either the cooler is not installed properly. Or the thermal paste is not good.

Yes. Will add a fan.

The keyboard mouse thing will be another case the damn pc doesn't even turn on when the power button is pressed. The pc itself does turn on, but no display.

Tried thrice with the installation. Used the pea method ( a little less than pea) for thermal compound.
Yes the thermal paste is a cheap one. But still how many degrees can it factor to?

Alot. Try to get a decent thermal compound, you have spent a good money on components don't cheap out on thermal paste. 2nd ambient in pk is high this time ..put computer in room with ac plus add descent fans

72 is absolutely fine bro, considering the ambient temps and also that your on air cooling.
