While Playing BF3 on ultra with AA off it seems stable 1 hour in with my GPU and CPU at 55-60c (the only game ive tested). Both are at stock speeds. I turned the turbo core (or something like that) on my cpu off in the bios and lowered its voltage to 1.25. am i running too hot? Can i do anything to lower the temps? Water-cooling wont fit in the case
My ventilation is
2x 120mm intake front
1x 120mm intake bottom
1x 120mm exhaust top
1x 120mm exhaust back
2x 120mm on 212 in Push and Pull.
(Im going be getting 2x 140mm fans on top for exhaust.)
(P.S. at the moment im using the thermal compound that came with the 212 evo. i have MX-4 on its way.)
