Hi I am just poking my head in and wanting to see if my CPU is ok, especially with my setup. I am currently running Windows 10 Pro 64bit, a i7 3960X @ 3.30GHz, 16.0 GB DDR3 @ 667MHz (9-9-9-24) RAM, ASUSTeK RAMPAGE IV EXTREME, and a 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970. I currently have a full size tower with 4 regular case fans, 1 being at the back/ i/o board are, one on the bottom suck air in, two in the front. I also am running a triple fan radiator which cools my coolant system that is hooked up to my CPU then into a reservoir (not connected at all to my gpu). Of course I have the PSU fan, two fans on my GPU, but I'm still worried that 70*C on my CPU with watercooling is a bit high, however this is under a load (Currently running Black Desert Online on highest possibly settings getting about 30FPS, I also have chrome open with a few tabs like twitch tv, youtube, and soundcloud.) Is there anything that points directly to a hotter CPU such as programs I'm running, or not enough actually cooling, or something? Thanks.
