just installed a new aio watercooler for my cpu. can anyone advice on whether the temps are fine?

previously stock fans idle at around 35-37 degrees.
with this new cpu cooler it idles around 32-35 degrees

ran prime95 with this new cpu cooler for about 20mins, max temps on full load are around 52-58 degrees. never tried prime95 with stock heatsink..

no aircon on. i did read quite abit of reviews on this new cooler though, many have idle temps in the mid 20's low 30's range and full load in the 40's range. so not sure if installed it wrong or is it just our weather.

the cooler i'm using is thermaltake water 3.0 performer.

edit: right now i'm using an i5 4440. going to upgrade soon.

Your temps are perfectly fine.

The only thing that why you see are 20-30 deg range is because the reviews are done in ang moh country. Their ambient temps are definitely lower than us. CPU temps cannot go lower than ambient, if it is lower than ambient you may see condensation. And that is not what you wanna see.

thanks! was getting a bit worried there. anyway, prime95 is more taxing than playing games right? so in reality, i wouldn't really be hitting those temps / load while gaming?
