The liquid cooler, I suspect, is the Asetek 550LC. The radiator is sandwiched between two fans. With default fan curves (the speeds at different/higher temperatures), the CPU runs at about 40 Celsius idle. I would, however, recommend resetting the BIOS (press DELETE on the MSI screen to access the BIOS, then F6 in the BIOS menu to reset to default) so that you can enable Intel Turbo Boost, then set aggressive fan curves (higher fan speeds). My CPU now idles at about 36 Celsius after tinkering with fan speeds.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine was idling at 40c I ended up upgrading to a 240mm large radiator installed in the front panel. h100i v2. Now I idle at 28c-32c overclocked to 4.6 at 1.22 volts. tops out at 75c-80c on Prime 95 latest version
