Hi, im currently having a paranoia about my 1st built pc's temp.

Here's the specs:

CPU: Intel i3-4150
MoBo: MSI H81M-P33
VC: Palit GTX 750Ti 2GB StormX Dual
RAM: x2 4GB Kingston HyperX Fury Blue 1600MHZ
HDD: 500GB Seagate 7200 rpm
PSU: Corsair VS450
Optical Drive: Asus 24x
Case: AeroCool GT-Black

Now, my concern is, when the system is on idle, my GPU gets a 35-38 degrees C, and CPU at 36-40 degrees C.

And when it's on load, GPU can reach 68-70 degrees C, and CPU at 80 degrees at max.

Using MSI afterburner to monitor the temps.

My pc case only got one exhaust 120mm fan at the back. PSU is getting air from the bottom of the case. Room temp is abit hot when its afternoon time. (Im from Philippines).

Will an additional fan on the side of the case help? Should i worry about the current temps?

Thanks in advance.

Those are completely perfect temperatures for stock cooler. If You want more power, go after aftermarket cooler. And also, get a fan for intake on Your case. I suggest following:

Entry: Gelid Tranquillo Rev 2.0
Mainstream: Noctua NH-U12P-SE2 [not sure if it fits Your case]
High-end: Noctua NH-D14/15 [not sure if it fits Your case]

Am gone after client, will write more when I come back, but I'm sure some others may too.

Phew! Okay thanks for your time, gonna buy a 140mm side fan and maybe an aftermarket cpu cooler.

Thanks again. :)

 
No problemo. And if I may, the aftermarket cpu cooler will do more work for CPU, and AeroCool GT-Black is built for side fan directly, it's a loss not to use it. Let me show You something.

This is what happens on Cosmos S, cooled by water, but chipset block is kind of weird, eventhough it was the top of the class. I've hit the Cosmos S with side fan [the built in one] and that's the result of chipset temperatures, within few seconds.

Enjoy!

wow! from 50 degrees down to 36 on system temp, very nice, thanks mate! also, nice cpu temp! :love:
 
That was Core i7 930, it was my only "water-powered" rig ever.

I got it because of GTX 480. She was a savage, I was unable to tame, so I put custom water cooling on her, which was about 1200 eur with work at those days, and she purred like a kitty under some EK waterblock. Had 28-32°C idle and up to 40-45°C in burn, maybe 50°C. Don't remember, really.

I also tried some aftermarket coolers on her, but they were just no good :/.
