Hey guys,
I'm running a system with the following specs;
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980
Intel Core I7 4970K @ 4.00 GHZ
16GB of DDR3 1600MHZ Ballistix Elite ram
Republic of Gamers Maximus VII Ranger motherboard
Strike-X 800 watts silver rated PSU
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit OS
My CPU's core voltage is at 1.224 V and I'm getting about 65c whilst playing Counter Strike Global Offensive. I haven't reached 70's yet while playing a game, but I was really close to when playing Skyrim with about 110 mods and an ENB on top of it. The idle temperatures are on an average of 31c and it just feels a little high so I was wondering if I should undervolt it a little bit to reduce temps?
I also ran prime 95 and after 6 minutes of testing, all cores got up to high 80's and low 90's.
So, should I undervolt a little bit or are these temperatures normal? I'm using an after market cooler, the "Cooler Master V8 GTS" and I have one front intake fan, one back outtake and one top outtake as well.
Thanks in advance.
