I have the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero motherboard. Idle temperature is about 40-45 degrees Celsius. When rendering a video it goes up to around 75-80 degrees, just wondering if that's an alright temp for it to be or should I get more case fans? I only have one 120mm fan in the back and I'm using a Cooler Master TX3 EVO cooler on my cpu and even my cpu is around 39 degrees idle / 77 on full load, not quite as high as my motherboard. What do you guys think?
 
Solution
80C is not to bad but higher than I would run mine.
The TX3 is a very entry level cooler I would add a extra case fan blowing in and if that does not lower it then also replace the CPU cooler.
Both of these are good choices depending where you can buy parts from and what will fit inside your case.

Yeah thanks I'll try that, I was going to get the 212 evo but apparently it doesn't fit in my thermaltake versa h22. That cryorig might be the next thing I try if needed but I'll look for a good case fan for now.
