First, yea, these seem high for a liquid cooling solution. Are you sure you have the mass properly mounted to the processor ​with a reasonable amount of TIM? Second, the idle temperatures are only concerning is the loaded temperatures are similarly high. If you aren't reaching 85c under heavy load, then I wouldn't worry as much.</P><P>​</P><P>...S</P> Mon, 09 Dec 2019 10:01:08 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/I7-9700k-idling-between-50-degrees-C-and-60/m-p/730398#M44173 n_scott_pearson 2019-12-09T10:01:08Z
