Hey guys..
I got a new rig..but I'm facing a lil heating issues. I don't blame my parts it's the room in which my system is a lil hot.
Please recommend a cpu fan(1150 socket) and cabinet fans (120mm)
After a 2hour gaming session..GPU temperature goes to 66-70°C and cpu around 55-57°C

Specs:
Core i5 4460
Corsair vengeance 8Gb(8×1)
Gigabyte H97M-D3H
Sapphire R9 270X with OC boost 2Gb GDDR5
Corsair VS650 650W PSU
Cooler master K380 cabinet
Thanks guys..u always help me

Are you using the stock Intel cooler? If you need cooler temps, then get something like a CM Hyper 212 EVO.

GPU temp is OK. But cpu is a little hot.

Blow out your case -especially fans, filters and coolers. Bump up your cpu fan to 1500rpm

Post back results.

@i7baby my stock CPU fan runs at 1700rpm idle. And more than 2300 rpm during heavy gaming

i7Baby · Jul 17, 2014

Did you blow out your case as suggested? What are the temps now?

hunter315 · Jul 17, 2014

Honestly, those are fine temps. 55-57 is pretty good, especially on the stock cooler, my 955 runs at 52C with a hyper 212+. Your GPU temp is still about 20C below the point where i would worry about it. Your system is doing just fine, don't worry about it.

If you want a quieter fan since the stock fans do tend to be loud then you will want to upgrade your cooler, but if the sound doesn't matter too much to you then you don't need to upgrade.

@i7baby my system is just 3days old. You really think I need to blow them this early?

@hunter315 : Thanks man! Fan noise is not an issue for me. I'm using only the stock coolers right now

i7Baby · Jul 18, 2014

Then you haven't put your cpu cooler on properly. Try it again.

rahulbeniwal · Jul 18, 2014

I did it..its not all that tricky with the stock cooler..just 4clips! But I don't know why it goes beyond 2500rpm by itself. And that's when fan speed setting shows *normal* option selected. There *fastest* as well..
And there's a feature of CPU temperature warning in the bios. At what temp should I set it? 60.70.80 or 90?

i7Baby · Jul 18, 2014

The fan is speeding up because your cpu is hot. That's what it's supposed to do. If you cooler and fan are Ok and the cooler is seated properly on the cpu, then the only way it can be geting hot is from a high Vcore. What's your Vcore (per bios/uefi)?

rahulbeniwal · Jul 18, 2014

CPU Vcore - 1.068
CPU Vrin - 1.728
CPU VAXG - 0.12V
CPU freq (always more or equal to) - 3397Mhz

rahulbeniwal · Jul 18, 2014

Hey I enabled the alarm for the if there's something wrong with the fan. And its beeping now when I boot. There is surely a problem now right?

i7Baby · Jul 18, 2014

1.068 is OK

Yes - check if the cpu fan is spinning. Did you remember to connect it? Properly?

rahulbeniwal · Jul 18, 2014

Okay I did everything again..alarm went off. But still 2300rpm idle

i7Baby · Jul 18, 2014

Can you actually see it spinning?

rahulbeniwal · Jul 18, 2014

That's a strange question

..yes yes. I can see it spinning comfortably

i7Baby · Jul 18, 2014

You sure you've got it in the cpu fan header on the motherboard?
