Hi guys,
My current CPU right now is Intel core i7 3770k and I know that Ivy bridge generation is pretty hot compare to others. I have upgraded my VGA to GTX770 just last week and since then my rig temp increase to nearly unsafe temp (95 degree celsius as I remember) under load (obviously gaming like battlefield 4, watch dogs and other heavy games) and my idle temp is 45 degree celsius. I'm using stock CPU fan with its own thermal paste for almost a year now and I think it could be the paste that is out of order.
So here's my question: are these temps safe enough for gaming? If it is not, is my plan to slap on a Cooler Master Hyper 212X and 3 more 120mm with 1200rpm will be sufficient for my rig?
Some extra info just to be safe: My case is Cooler Master Elite 431 plus, I only have one 120mm fan in front and I live in tropical climate (Vietnam) so yeah that is another reason for the hot temp. My room temp can go up to 38 degree in summer! Luckily I have AC so it's not matter much,isn't it? No OC all are stock speed and I am not planning to OC anything.
Thank you for answering my question and sorry if I am being too detailed or make any grammar mistake!
