Hi,,


Does installing a soundcard will increase the CPU temp? usually my idle CPU temp was 40c, but when the soundcard was installed, it became 50c and when playing music was 60c. When playing an ultra game settings like BF4, my cpu temp goes up at 110c, I paly the BF4 for about 5 mins and just close it, afraid that my cpu will fried. Till now I was just playing DOTA 2 or LOL all at max settings. CPU temp is at 60c-70c but my GPU temp is at 55c-60c . I was looking the temp at my corsairLink software and also in the HWMonitor CPUID.




So, when I install the soundcard, CPU temp goes up and GPU temp goes down, it's like there temperature got exchange.
