Do you realize how cool that is? If you were approaching 70°C, then I might think a cooler upgrade is called for. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw almost no change with an AIO.

The 980 Ti's are new enough that you shouldn't have to. What brand/model are you getting?

Yea I realize that is a good temp. EVGA GTX 980 TI.

I noticed that during the beta. But who cares if it's at 100% if the game still runs good?

Depend on you. Coz I usually watch youtube while Im playing and sometimes I use OBS to stream so 100% cpu usage cant do that without lag.

Ah I see. Well I'll see how it runs, if it ain't broke I'm not gonna fix it lol

As for the BF1 if I'm playing a game like that then I'm not usually mutlitasking.
