CPU & GPU temperature scary high

[Vlada011]

For that GPU you need i5-8600K + Noctua NH-U9S.
You can OC him to 4.8GHz on NH-U9S or NH-U12.

On your place I would use ASUS Z270E + i5-8600K.
If you sell your mobo and CPU you can buy even better combination, some cooler.
But i5-8600K is your priority.

For 120hz+.
For 60hz I say go with 8400 if price are normal, or get a 2600 if intel's price are too high.

Also,a 92mm cooler for 8600K OC ? really ?

 

[looniam]

just thought i'd mention that mobo supports a i7-7700.

 

[Vya Domus]

If it's just the temperatures that are bothering you so much just buy a cheap tower cooler, literally anything will be better than the stock one.

 

[Aquinus]

the glass side of the case gets really hot.

Add a half decent exhaust fan. It sounds like airflow isn't very good.

This is the problem,not the cooler. This case is shit, I'm surprised with what manufacturers do these days. Put 3x rgb fans in front, no exhaust, closed top. Stupid, just stupid.

errr----with Intel's pricing ... Fat chance ...

selling the i3 and mobo/RAM could Yield a better deal with a R5 2600/2600X

There is a single rear exhaust fan according to pictures and specs about the case.

What pictures and specs are you looking at

As Corsair official website only list 3x Intake fans

And even the picture OP posted shows no exhaust fan

 

[Splinterdog]

The OP mentioned 'over 70c' for his CPU when gaming and now he's being advised to change both his mobo and CPU, which no doubt would also require a third party cooler too, to replace an Intel stock cooler, adding to the expense.
If he couldn't afford to do all that, a decent rear exhaust fan and a six pipe third party cooler would bring the heat down dramatically.

Case fans will not influence on temperature of processor and GPU.
Hot GPU and Hot CPU will always be stronger than Case fans.
Need better cooling for specific components.

Um, no? Temperature of components depends on the ambient temperature inside of the case. If the case fans aren't moving the warm air out of the case, components will get warmer. Heat flows across a temperature gradient and if the temperature inside of the case is hotter, the components will get hotter as well. Low ambient temperatures mean lower component temperatures because regardless of temperature, the difference in temperature (ΔT), is going to remain, more or less, constant. So if the temperature inside of the case is 10°C hotter, I would expect components to be 10°C hotter as well. An exhaust fan helps remove that already warm air from the case and helps the intake fans trying to pull in cooler air from outside of the case. That lowers ambient temperatures inside of the case, which will in turn lower component temperatures.

The best cooler in the world would mean nothing if it couldn't remove the heat out of the case.

You can’t be serious right

Go remove all the case fans in your PC and than come back and tell me proper air flow doesn’t affect the temps of components

 

[Vya Domus]

Those 3 front fans are pushing plenty fresh air inside the case, the case isn't a problem and any extra fans wouldn't make a big difference. This is a dual core i3 were talking about, how much heat can it produce such that not even 3 fans wouldn't be enough ? Seriously.

That's a stock cooler, that's bottom of the barrel in terms of cooling. That's the bottleneck, though 75c is still well within safe limits. I am always baffled about these sorts of threads that derail into recommendations that are completely unrelated to the original issue. A new motherboard and CPU ? Seriously ? The guy was simply wondering whether or not those temps are fine and guess what, they are.

This debate that has unfolded is beyond me.

He actively put a youtube link to the case specified in his specs... but for the sake of argument, lets say it's the one in the link in the OP. That has a bracket for a rear fan too.

Blowing hot air out of the case is kind of important. It's the whole airflow thing.

Edit: If the PSU has a fan, the path of least resistance is airflow towards the bottom of the case, not the top. This is another reason why an exhaust fan is important.

 

[Vya Domus]

Hot air is still being blown out out of the case even if you have front fans only. That air that goes in doesn't go into a void, it gets out.

Air that goes in == air that goes out. No matter the configuration, you can't defy the laws that govern air pressure. The only thing that you can influence is where most of that air goes out.

 

[cucker tarlson]

yes,it goes out,at a lousy rate where it needs to be dumped asap.

 

[Splinterdog]

I would be far from happy with temps like that, regardless of whether they're within acceptable tolerances, which reminds me...
"Uh...it's probably not a problem...probably...but I'm showing a small discrepancy in...well, no, it's well within acceptable bounds again.
Sustaining sequence.Nothing you need to worry about, Gordon.
Go ahead."
"Just change the heatsink and add a rear cooler will you please Gordon?"

But the fans dictate the path which the bulk of the air goes. If none of the air goes by the CPU, it’s not effectively going to move heat. Where the air flows is just as important as it flowing at all.

The OP even said that the glass side panel is hot to the touch so say what you will, it’s not removing the heat well enough.

 

[cucker tarlson]

when using an AIB card,the rear exhaust is the most crucial one in the whole system.

 

[rtwjunkie]

Those proposing expensive solutions to the OP, go back and read, please.

His system is not in danger, but it is obviously outside of the OP’s comfort zone. So, way back early on I suggested a cheap, simple step to try first: buy a good fan for the rear exhaust. It will speed up the rate at which hot air is being expelled from his case.

The fact his case ambient temp is high is proof that his heatsinks are working. But that hot air will accumulate in dead pockets without active work to reroute it, which an exhaust fan will do.

Let’s let the OP take this step before moving further, please.

That's hogwash.

At OP.

You nee exhaust fans bad, 71.6 degrees is a good temp but you are getting thermal buildup.

Those who say you need a cpu upgrade are only 45% right.

actually those who mentioned CPU change and such ... was because the OP paired a 1080 with a i3 ... (it it was a 1050Ti or a 1060 that would be different)

now on the temperatures issue ... there is no issues at all ...
