used to sit at 30c and 45c load now 36c sit 52c load since playing bf4. at start of playing i get slow load but speeds up a little afterwards. cpu is still fine sitting at 26c no problems. even though bf4 is a bit graphic extensive never seen it go over 50c and then not cool off below 35c. i dont know the safe area for gpu temps but i may be just over cautious about it.
 


BF4 is pretty intensive. The ambient room temp can also play a part. I don't think you have any issues and the temp is good.

I can say that my 7870 hawk gets hotter in bf4 than any other game, but make sure to rule out anything else that could be running in the background such as mining programs and what not. Open msi afterburner and see what your idle gpu usage is. Have you added a new monitor? Has the room temperature changed? Have you not cleaned your computer? Have you been running more intensive cpu tasks? These could all be reasons for a higher temperature on the gpu. Don't forget though that anything under 50c on a gpu is very very very good. BTW, what is your gpu?

NVM, found the card in your signature.

as of right now its at 30c i have my computer to sleep an hour of no use. it sits at 0% usage but since i woke it up went up to 34c must be room temp cause cpu is even at 30. yeah its a slow build lol
