Fan speed doesn't change CPU Core temps

[scott]

I have my case setup with

-1 240m Intake fan Front
-1 120m Bottom Intake fan
-1 Radiator w 2 120m fans as exhaust
-1 Rear 120m fan as exhaust

I'll turn on my fans full speed and the temps don't really change vs when they're silent.
I'm also concerned because when i'm just doing stuff like browsing the internet (I have 15 tabs open) along with having corsair link, hwmonitor and steam in the background the package temp will hit a max of 58 c and it bounces in the 40's and 50's. I'm confused as to what to do.

I also can turn off everything other than asus ai and HWmonitor and I idle in the 40's with 1 core reaching into the 50's and going at 54 as my max. I feel though that this is what I should be gaming at, not what I should be idling at.

Whereas most of my cores are generally in the 30's 40's range, there is always 1 that's in the 50's, and it fluctuates between which core that is.

You need to focus on whats important; does it exceed 85*C on sustained high CPU + GPU loads?

If not, then everything is doing its job.

Doesn't matter if its 1 browser tab or 1000; that is more of an impact on CPU + RAM; but more RAM. CPU loads with your browser won't really occur unless it's doing something active in a tab, like YouTube, Twitch... something that can use a good amount of CPU.

If temps rise cause of an open browser; go into the browser settings and disable hardware acceleration. If when this is disabled the browser chugs performance-wise, then re-enable it.

But it will impact GPU temps more, when hardware acceleration is enabled in a web browser.

50c is cool

adding more case fans will not be able to cool the cpu any better

if you want it cooler, get a better cpu cooler
but 50c is already a good temp

if its not breaking 80c dont worry about it

Plus it is Intel CPU; so yes 50*C (122*F) is rather cool...

Those would generally run 24/7 at 70-80*C just fine.

Now if it was AMD Desktop CPU, that would be a different story.

okay thanks.

idk what a better cpu cooler would be, using liquid cooling by the corsair h100i gtx, maybe an open loop but i ain't gonna try that lel. Long as it's okay then i'm fine. I hear skylake runs hot but i'm also reading about people who idle on 25c and it scares me that i'm in the 50's.

Also, when I play arma which is heavily CPU intensive, my temp stays in the mid/high 50's and low 60's, so it's not jumping into the 80c range like it was before

CPU temp sensors are notoriously poorly calibrated, since calibration costs money. They have four sensors that are under reporting, or are measuring in a cold room, or lying. You have at least one sensor that is (massively) overreporting, with 40°C idling in a room at normal temperature being normal. Stop worrying. Low 60's under load is perfectly fine and safe.
