Asus directcu2 gtx 560 and I5 2500k Temps to high in Mini itx case

k1ng0d · Feb 16, 2015

Ok First I want to say I know the gtx 560 is old. I am wondering if my temps are to high My gtx 560 and I5 2500k go up to around 70c while playing Battlefield 4. I am using a Coolermaster elite 120 advanced. Is the temps high enough that I should maybe just get a new case or are they normal for small enclosures like this? Thanks.

yes, small enclosures tend to heat more compared to normal ones...

So yes they are to high and should get a new case?

70c on 100% usage seems pretty normal, especially in an itx system. I am assuming you use stock cooler for both components right?

Yes I am using the stock for both. Would it damage anything to have the temps that high?

No doubt man... the small case is the issue, get something in the Corsair Carbide series, the entry lvl 200r is a good case and it`s really good value!

That case is pretty expensive.. The n400 is a good option too.

Ooohh okay... maybe it`s different here where I live, it`s very cheap over here, but yes the CM N400 is a very good chassis also!!
