now my i5-3570K temp is too low?

I have a thread right below this one but now the temperature of my CPU UNDER LOAD is around 26 degrees celsius? The room temperature is fairly cool aronud 25 degrees celcius.

It sounds like your temp monitoring program is misreading the temps. Look for a different one like core temp or RealTemp

is it overclocked at all? CM 212+ isn't a bad cooler and those 22nm chips run really cool, or so I've heard. For reference, my 32nm i3-540 runs VERY COOL under load at 3.85GHz. 100% load on sensor test with RealTemp gets me 32 and 37C each core

Not overclocked, it remains at stock level at the moment.

I had my RAM (8GB in total) used up around 40%, my CPU is like... at 26C, doesn't make sense.

But of course, the CM 212 might just be doing its job but keep in mind, I don't have a GPU in my system yet.

I also noticed that the cold breeze kept blowing towards my tower, keeping it a bit cold?

hmm... I thought using the Intel HD Graphics instead of a separate GPU would also overheat the CPU itself, but quite the contrary....

I'll try Core Temp when I get home.

First one is under no load (still have a game running using 1 GB of RAM but not active)

Second one is under load (focusing on that game which uses up hella lot of CPU and RAM)

I still cannot comprehend 4 different temperatures

(In case you can't see
1. 27, 36, 23, 31 degress celsius respectively
2. 29, 38, 28, 39 degrees celsius respectively with 43% of my RAM taken up)

those temps are for the individual cores, but i have trouble making sense of my temps in my i7, theres also a cpu temp i have that bounces around a bit... its not seeming to be related to the individual cores...and goes up when my load goes down, its weird o_O

hmm... so what do I look at? the average?

At like 40% ish load, they all go above 30C and two of them go above 40C.
