Evening all,
Lurker for years but 1st time writer.
I need your opinions on my CPU temps. Im upgrading my graphics on a 4 year old system so I wanted to check on my cooling. It hasn't been touched since I built it.
CPU temp in BIOS is 45°c. CPU with core temp app is 54°c while idling. 89°c under stress test.
GPU is 56°c while idle. System temp is 32°c. Set up below.
i5 2500k overclocked to 4.4ghz cooled by an Arctic freezer 13
MSI Twin Frozr II HD6870
Fractal Design R3 with 2 stock case fans. 1 front in, 1 rear out.
I have an XFX 850 PSU (non modular) so with its many thick wires it could be blocking the lonely fan upfront. Iv ordered a couple of case fans to improve air flow but with it not being touched over the last 4 years I could have some other issues. Thermal paste degraded? Dust? I can fix these if needs be but without a frame of reference I really don't know.
So I would appreciate your opinions.
Cheers
