Hi guys, this is my first post here. Well, I wanted some advice on whether I need to get an aftermarket cooler or not. My rig -
Intel i5 4670 (non K) at 3.4ghz - stock cooler
EVGA GTX 1060 sc Gfx card
Corsair 1600 Mhz 8gb ram (will upgrade soon)
Seasonic S12II series 620W PSU
And a cooler master storm enforcer case with a 200mm inlet fan at the front and a 125mm at the back.
Now my issue is, on idle, my pc is currently around 32-36'C @ 5% usage which is fine since I come from a warm place and the ambient temperature is around that much. But I just got the game "Watch dogs 2" recently and when i run it at high, My Cpu usage shoots up to around 60 - 70% usage and the temperatures shoot up, in-between 70 - 78 'C (maybe more in other big titles).
I want to know, if getting a new budget cpu cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 103 ) is a good idea since while I am sure it would reduce the temps while gaming significantly, would it unnecessarily reduce my idle temperature by too much as well? Currently, the climate is 29'c in winter. Will it reduce is too much on idle, and how dangerous would that be, keeping condensation in mind. I don't want my idle temps to reduce by too much and I obviously don't know if a cooler comes with a base temperature. I'm pretty new to these things. So any reply/ help on my question would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
