Hello
I have recently had a gaming PC for Christmas and love it but i recently installed a GPU monitor and a CPU monitor on my desktop as a gadget and i set an alarm for if either of them went over 80 i thought no way but when i play a game it does.So i started to worry can anyone help me?

My specs:

Sure, it's okay. That is the source of your high temps likely (the location and overclocking). Are you familiar with drag racing at all ? When you add horsepower to a car it goes faster, but as you add more and more, the gains get less and less. Pretty soon you add gobs of power and it only makes a tiny .02 of a sec difference; even though you went from 600 hp to 2000. The returns get diminishing the more you add.

Guess what, the exact same thing with overclocking, except you draw gobs more power and generate gobs more heat for that extra little bit.

Likely your temps are okay considering all your factors. Another bit is that stock intel and AMD coolers blow air down over the Motherboard to keep the voltage regulators cooler. That...

Also i've overclocked my cpu to 4.3GHz i think with the gigabyte easy tune app and is that ok with an intel stock cooler.

Likely your temps are okay considering all your factors. Another bit is that stock intel and AMD coolers blow air down over the Motherboard to keep the voltage regulators cooler. That air isn't taking the direct route out of your case. Neither is the hot air from your GPU. The hot air from the gpu can also rise into the intake path of your cpu cooler. Hard to say without a fancy smoke chamber and all kinds of testing (unless you have a video card with a fully enclosed cooler that vents out the back, like AMD and Nvidia cards with reference coolers.

I can't give you personal temperature help because my rig is in:

An ice cold basement in Minnesota
An open area of the room
Has a big A$$ CPU cooler (dark knight 2 ceramic)
140mm fans x 4

I don't think 80 is that bad though unless that's idle...

whats the ambient temperature, the temp you are reading on the CPU, are they the temps for the cores or the actual CPU temperature. there is a difference.

do you hyave any other fans in your case? you should invest in an intake fan in the front and an exhaust fan at the back to get some airflow going to refresh your air. otherwise ytour PC will just function like an oven.

You could have a conflict with the GPU and CPU monitors that is giving you the wrong reading. I would uninstall one an see if the temperature goes down in the reading. I had the same problem on my system and I uninstall the cpu monitor, also if the bios have a cpu temperature reading use that one to take your temp readings.
