Hi, before I begin, my specs are :
Motherboard : ASRock Z87 Extreme 4
CPU : Intel I-5 4570 3.2 Ghz - upgraded the cooler to an aftermarket cooler Hyper EVO TX3.
Ram : 8GB
GPU : EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+
PSU : 530 ATCSx
Monitor : Samsung 32" HDTV 1920x1080
Case : Aerocool GT Black Edition
With recent upgrade : Two air fans, one on the side cooling the whole MB with cpu and gpu and one on the back for a good airflow.
Tbh, the case is now colder than ever and I have not really the issues I had with scorching hands when I touch the case while gaming. Today, I played Dark Souls III and I upscaled the graphics from High to Max, and after a while I was hearing a slightly buzzing sound, coming from my rig, I atl+tabbed, run speccy, and everything was on low like 40-50C temps, but the gpu was like 75-78-80 and it was becoming orange the color. So, I downscaled the graphics of DSIII to high, and it's now like 65-70.
^Is this even safe? Is that even considered normal for a game to make the gpu that hot? My case is cool and cold, maybe slightly - very very very slightly faintly - warm, where the gpu rests, but overall it's just cool and cold. Should I worry? Are these 80+ temps with the buzzing sound gonna destroy my gpu or the whole pc in general?
Please, honest answers, I know I may be overacting, but I need to know.
