I just built a pain in the A$$ m-itx pc for when I leave as bringing the HEAVY full tower not convenient.

I'm using as "cooler master elite 130" and "GA-f2a88xn-wifi gigabyte mobo".
There is "default fans" in the case and a " aritc cooling alpine 64 GT rev 2 cooler"

Idles mostly in 30s
Then a few minutes of BF4 it takes a whack of 69 degrees speedfan recorded the highest being 71
The tjmax is 74 so i turned it off let it cool ran prime 95 it was 61 degrees after an hour of use
What really is system temp becuase that idles 44-45 degrees and goes very high also.

Im getting a watercooler next week for it i was just wondering why it run so hot im not using that stock cooler which is a useless piece of metal and a fan stuck on.

Thanks for any reply to help.

74c is the absolute maximum recommended temperature for the 750k. So, you really don't need a liquid cooler, OP. You are at the safe temp.

Read that and do those steps, see if the same problem still occurs. Some monitoring programs fail to read AMD temps.
