Hello.

I have the following system http://speccy.piriform.com/results/lk8Ev04StYunBdXI1V1KCyM, and it is reaching 50-60 degrees c sometimes with 30% load while playing guild wars.

I have a Corsair liquid cooler. H55 and its only a mid size case which is pretty crowded.

Just think the CPU is getting a bit hot? Its over clocked to 4mhz

Those temps are perfectly normal.

The MAXIMUM temp for that CPU is about 105degC at which point the CPU actually throttles itself down to protect itself.

I have a good cooler, the Noctua NH-D14 and have my fans set to run very SLOWLY in idle then ramp up.

I stay just under 30degC in idle, and my gameplay is sometimes high 40's. You could easily be in the 50's depending on room temperature and how good your case cooling is.

I also have two FRONT fans sucking air in and a TOP-REAR fan to exhaust, and it's fairly cool in the room.

I've been told quite a bit lately that the 4770K is a pretty warm chip without an overclock.
Try using CoreTemp to measure your temperatures and comparing it's output with speccy's.

P.s. -- Are you Idling at 44 C???

(I see the list of running programs, idling just has an elastic meaning here)
