Hi Guys ,

I bought my gaming rig a year ago which is :-

Corsair 200R midtower case
Seagate Barracuda 2tb
Thermaltake Smart Se 730w
Gigabyte Z77-D3H
G-Skill Ripjaws 2×4 1600 mhz ram
Core i5 3570k
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
Corsair AF Performance Edition 120mm ×2
Sapphire 7970 Ghz Edition Vapor-X

And 3 months ago I bought Noctua NT H1 Cooling Paste and applied it on my gpu

Now my main question :-

My Room Temp is about 25

My Gpu Idle temp is about 35

And I played Watch dogs on 1080p and ultra settings and FXAA ( except texture quality set to high until ubisoft fix it ) for an hour and the max temp was 72 !

So is this temp good ? Safe ?

And if it wasn't good how could I fix it ..

And when should I start to worry about my gpu (( what is the max safe temp for the gpu ? ))

BTW ,, 4 months ago my idle was 30 as it was cold in my country but now in summer the outdoors temp reaches up to 40 so I use air conditioner @ 25
 
72C isn't too bad. They can run to 90C without problems. Not that I'd like anything running that hot. Watch Dogs stresses the gpu and so you should expect high temps.

Consider getting an 'airier' case - with a bit more air circulation. Can you add another fan to the 200R?
