Warm temps? Better air flow?

Can I change my airflow someway?

Was playing Elder Scrolls Online, Ultra Settings for 4+ hours so far and just checked me temps like always and noticed it was 79C for my GPU.

My CPU also hit 61C

The air coming out of the case felt hotter than average.

I can't see you imgur post at work but 79C isn't horrible for a GPU. 61C for your CPU is a little worse, Do you have the 212 setup in push pull? what other case fans do you have? Recommended airflow setup for fans is front/bottom intake, top/rear for exhaust.

Sorry if you picture would have answered these questions, but again I can't see it.

Try the new imgur link. Sorry about that.

Okay ya the GPU isn't too bad, I do not have push pull. Should I?

I can't see your link because I am at work and they block certain websites, your link is probably fine for other people. Configuring your cooler with push pull should help drop temperatures but how much depends on other things such as how good the contact between the cooler and the CPU is. Have you overclocked your CPU at all? What is your ambient temperature?

Okay np I understand, thanks for the responses while at work.

I will look into Push Pull setup, the CPU and Cooler should be in good contact.

I haven't OCed anything.

Ambient temp like as in outside of pc area? I would say 68-70 Fahrenheit

Yeah I would thing you should be getting better temps than that without an overclock and with those ambient temperatures. How many intake/exhaust fans do you have in the case?

Yeah, that should be plenty for better temps. I am gonna suggest that you try removing your cooler, cleaning off the thermal compound and reinstalling it.

I just built this computer a little over a week ago did the thermal correct, rice grain size on center of cpu and let it spread naturally. Arctic Silver 5 and used their instructions from their website.

logang · Mar 31, 2014

Yeah, other than putting it in push/pull I can't think of anything else, sorry.

What CPU is this?

D32013 · Mar 31, 2014

logang :

AMD FX 8320

logang · Mar 31, 2014

Yeah it should be doing better than that. I had an 8320 with the 212 and I had to OC it over 4.2 ghz to get it to those temps.

Hmm ya, I probably did mess up the thermal compound cpu cooler seating....

logang · Mar 31, 2014

You can set voltage manually in the bios instead of leaving it on auto as auto voltage usually adds more than is necessary for a stable clock rate.

logang :

How would you suggest I put the thermal compound on? How would you do it?

logang · Mar 31, 2014

The way you described it is how I do it. I just can't believe you aren't getting better temps than that.
