so i just bought a new pc... since i didnt trust in my pc-building skills -i bought a prebuild setup...

i knew i shouldnt have tried a cheap watercooling system, but i wanted to see what it could do...

still, i think my watercooling system might be broken or something like that..

i installed ''CPUID hardware monitor'' and it shows me i run 35* when i idle... and 90!!-95!! when i play something like blacklight retribution on maximum.

it tells me my mainboard have been over 200*!!! (is there another program i should try?)

im going to call the guy who sold me the pc tomorrow, but should i demand a new cpu/motherboard because it could have damaged it?

this is my pc (and yes you can tell me why i am a retard for having bought this system)


i4670K @ 3,4
asus 760gtx direct cu2
8gb 2133 hyperXbeast RAM
coolermaster GX650W
coolermaster seidon 120v watercool
asus z87k

(have i forgot anything?)

CPUID is honestly pretty good. but I would try real temp and hwmonitor just to double check

heat shouldn't damage an Intel system nowadays since the system would throttle down to cool off before it damages itself
