Just wanted to make sure, to be on the safe side when I game.

(Temps are in Celsius)

CPU - Intel Core i5-4670k @3.4Ghz w/ Stock Cooler
Idle: 30 degrees
Full load: 60 degrees

GPU - EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked w/ ACX Cooler
Idle: 35 degrees
Full load: 75 degrees

HDD - Western Digital RE3 1TB 7200 RPM
Idle: 37 degrees
Full load: 47 degrees

Please answer, thanks!

those temps are fine. especially the i5 w/stock cooler which leads me to ask how did you get the max temp? did you stress it w/prime95? did you lower the voltage? i just would expect it to be a bit closer to 70c is all.

nice job.

Well actually it was rounded off. I think the highest I ever saw it was 65 degrees.
GeForce experience optimizes my graphics to the perfect settings, I never get too hot, yet I get great graphics and a wonderful gaming experience.

I need new case fans, though, because the front fan was blowing loads of hot air out, I practically used it as a heater. My case itself is great for airflow. It's steel and has mesh on all sides so once I get really high-end fans it'll run no problem, I might be able to overclock a bit if I see fit.

Ok, 65 sounds more like it but please get at least a coolermaster 212 EVO before you venture off into OCing. and you ought to have the front fans blowing IN to supply cool air. the top/back fan(s) are for exhaust to remove the heat.

maybe this would be a good read:

65 was the absolute max I ever recorded, and I might even be going over a bit.
But 60 was definitely the average, sometimes it went to 50 when the cutscenes rolled in.

But you don't have to convince me, I already know about the Hyper 212 EVO
I am actually saving for it, I had it in my original build but I couldn't afford to have it in the build
It's amazing for the price and performance I'm getting. I don't know if I'll overclock with it though.
Maybe 100 or 200mhz, because after all I do have a K series CPU ;)
