I have a 700W Power Supply, a GTX 660 TI and a AMD FX-8120 8 Core. Will it be safe to turn off Cool N' Quiet and AMD Masters Mode even if I have no water cooler and temps can occasionally exceed 70 degrees celcius?
Everything there doesnt seem very worrisome... Except...
70C+? That is worrisome.
It only gets that high when I'm in fairly demanding games such as Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, or Battlefeild 3. How worried should I be?
Even at load, it shouldnt be that high.
Dont be too worried though. The temps are high; but they're not dangerously high. I suggest you fix the heat issue soon, but it isnt too damaging as it is now.
isnt cool n quiet just onderclocking the cpu and turning the fan down when the cpu is not fully utilized?
Guess turning it off would be fine. However your temps are really high. I would clean out the dust and reapply thermal paste to see if that does anything. Maybe get more airflow.
