My processor only got a stock cooler and I got a gtx 1070. Is it okay? I am still saving up for a new cooler. Is it okay to use the stock cooler and gtx 1070 or I will not use the gtx 1070 and save up for a new cpu cooler?
 
Solution
The GPU will make little difference to the temperatures of your CPU, it may increase the temperature by 4-5c but it wont be anything major. You should be good to go to use the GTX 1070, and when you have enough for an aftermarket CPU cooler, then go ahead and purchase one. Most

The GPU generally wont change the temp of the CPU providing that you have an adequate airflow layout through your case. If you are worried about the CPU temps use something like MSI Afterburner or Corsair Link to monitor the CPU's temps while in use.
