Hi guys,
This has probably been asked before but I just want to be sure for my specific scenario.
When I am running Star Citizen Arena Commander on very high graphics (1920x1080) I am seeing my CPU temp sit around the 58-60C and my GPU sit at about 60C as well (been able to drop this from 70C). I dread to think what it will be like when the game is finished!
I just want to know if these temperatures are anything to worry about/if I should look at improving my cooling.
my rig;
Corsair C70 case (green) with bottom HDD cage removed
2 Apache Fans in the very front (intake)
1 Apache Fan on the top HDD cage (intake)
2 Apache Fans on the base of the case (Intake)
1 Apache Fan on the top rear of the case (Intake)
2 Corsair SP120 Fans on my H100 CPU cooler, radiator at top of the case (Exhaust)
Asus Maximus VI Hero MB
I7-4770k OC 4.2 Ghz
GTX780 SC + ACX (in bottom slot)
32Gb Vengance (1600) Ram
I am able to add 2 more fans to the side of the case 7 possibly add 2 fans on the top to work as a push pull over the CPU radiator
As i got it custom built from Scan.co.uk I am asking them for a quote to upgrade to water cooling as well. I know I could do it myself, but if I do I will loose my 3 year warrenty so im in 2 minds about it! (hence why I am asking for a quote from them)
Do I need to upgrade my cooling or are these temperatures fine? (My rig will probably be at these temperatures for prolonged lengths as I can game for up to 4 hours straight a day if I'm bored!)
any help/advice would be great
