Are these temps normal when using a Cooler Master Silencio 550 case?

Hello people,

Recently I started to use this site to get some knowledge about installing a new CPU and GPU and how to cool them properly. Normally I buy pre-build pc's but yesterday I installed a new CPU, I7-4970k, and a GPU, GTX 980 4gb MSI gaming. When I installed the new CPU, i used thermal paste and added a Cooler Master TX3 EVO as cooler. After installing I started to check my temps when idle and gaming. For my CPU that is around 34 when idle and a maximum of 73 when playing Shadow of Mordor at ultra settings. My GPU is 45 when idle and 68 when playing Shadow of Mordor at ultra settings. I was wondering if these temps are normal when using the Cooler Master Silencio 550 case, since it is known for not being the best case regarding to cooling. Should I be worried with these temps or are they acceptable (keeping the case I use in mind)? What could I do to get less temps if they are too high? (I do not want to buy a new case since I have 0 experience with building a competely new comp.) Thanks for the great information!

They are normal as well, your case is not the problem, it's good enough. Not every card is the same though, you can buy one which runs under 33 C while idle and goes up to 74 at 100% and another which idles at 45, but stops at 68 under max pressure (both cards are the same model). Some cards and CPUs allow for higher overclocks and voltages than others, for example, I could OC my i7-3770K to 5 GHz with my Corsair H110 water cooling, while someone else's 3770K might end up in the trash after applying the exact same voltage I did on mine to drive it that far, so yeah.. it's pretty much luck if you'll get a good CPU temperature...

The temperature of the card is absolutely normal as well as that of the CPU. Don't change anything except maybe the thermal paste of your CPU with something like Noctua NT-H1, though even if you don't, 73 C is acceptable.

Thanks for your help Connectonight!
Just to be sure, so 45 C for the GTX 980 when idle is normal?
Because I read a lot of people saying their temps when Idle are around 33
or has this to do with the Case (Silencio 550) I am suing?

A maximum of 68 C for your GPU is perfect, you couldn't be asking for more.

Though again, since your card maxes at about 68 C I think you should be more than happy, because most go above that.
