Just completed my first every build inside the RVZ01 itx case, I understand that in a smaller case temps will be higher how ever I'm pretty scared as to how high they are.

Idle the CPU sits usually around 33-36 degrees Celsius though on occasion can jump to 44c. GPU idle usually is around 34.

However when running Unigine on loop at Ultra, 4x AA after 20ish minutes the GPU reached 80/81c and stayed at that temp for the next 10 minutes before I stopped the test. Also while playing Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon the CPU reaches around 75c and GPU around 79c

The CPU has a Zalman Quiet CNPS8900 cooler which I was told was good however these temps are worrying in comparison to what other people are getting. I understand that it is summer and my room is very very hot but I don't think it would make the much of a difference?
Also the fans never CPU and case fans never spin above 1600rpm as AI suite won't allow it.

Anyway are these temps safe, or have I connected something wrong?
