Dear members of this lovely forum,

According to Speedfan my GPU is running very hot! It's showing the fire icon. Specifically 50 C. Also my CPU is running hot too at 43 C. How can I lower the temperature?

Thank you very much,

MI6

If you're running AMD system you want to keep temps on the CPU core under 50C at all times. This can be achieved with an after market cooling solution like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

Your GPU temps are fine unless you get to a point to where they begin to exceed 60-70C...then you need to worry.

I would recommend ensuring your case has at least a few large fans exhausting air from inside, as things tend to get hot in a poorly ventilated case. So for the cost of a $10 case fan and a $25-30 CPU fan, you can get your temps down to a much cooler window inside your case and inside your CPU.

If this answer is most helpful please select it as the best solution :)

if you want to lower temp get a cooler for the cpu and in the gpu case depends on the gpu, old gpu dont av coolers. also make sure you have good air circulation in your case
