Hello Mam/Sir, I just wanted to know if my computer's overall temperature is okay.. I live in a very hot country, Philippines.

I am very worried if my PC is still running at safezone because I do 3D modeling and lots of rendering stuffs...

Here are my Computer Specs:
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix z270f
Processor: i7 6700k OCed to 4.5Ghz
Memory: Kingston HyperX 2400MHz
GPU: GTX 780 ichill Herculez 2000 OCed 135% (3yrs. old GPU)
PSU: CX750M (3yrs. old PSU)

Cooling system:
AIO: Corsair H60
FANs: 3 RGB Lighting Rakk Maris Fans (Local Philippine PC lighting kit.)
2 Corsair fans

With the total of 6 fans... can my PSU handle this?? PC seems running okay and I've checked it with a lot of heavy games like GTA V, Metro Last Light, Watchdogs 2, and Miscreated.
I'm not knowledgeable enough when it comes to voltages so please help.. and are there any incompatibilities on this rig? I pretty much spent all my money in getting the new ROG Strix z270f and
I hope my rig is fine. I'm a self supporting student hehe so please if you'd like to recommend me some stuff that needs to upgrade, give me something cheap/budget hardware...

here is my idle temp:


I used Cinebench and CPU-Z to for the stress test and benchmark.

Full Load, Open Chassis


Full Load, Closed Chassis


is VID the CPU Voltage? because I have this problem.... I set it to 1.260 on my BIOS but it's still running on 1.300+1.400v. I tried to set it through ASUS AI Suite 3 but still not working.

please help.

Because you are overclocking, I wonder if you have changed the load line calibration settings...
Load-line calibration can have a moderate impact on CPU voltages at load.
Basically, pick a setting somewhere in the middle. On Asus motherboards (I have one), the options are between 1 and 9. Picking 6 places it nicely in the middle which should keep the voltage exactly the same across all loads.

I also agree with what Dooop805 has said - lowering your voltage as much as possible is always a good idea.

There can be many ways to do this... the one I am familiar with is as follows:
- Set your CPU voltage mode to 'Adaptive', or the equivalent. This means voltage only increases by CPU speed and if AVX instructions are present.
- Modify the...

To answer the temperature question: under 75c on a CPU and GPU is absolutely fine, nothing to worry about.

As for voltages, the voltage sensors on motherboards are usually unreliable and are not very accurate.
With the voltage being higher than expected, as long as you CPU temperature isn't really high and the voltage in the BIOS is less than 1.35v you will be fine.
Personally I recommend no more than 1.3v because things start getting hot and noisy.

thank you! I run a stability test for 2 hours using Aida64 and here is the result.


It seems like it's still running at the average of 1.374v and max of 1.410.
should I drop my voltage to 1.250? It's currently set to 1.260v but it seems like it's not applying...

Thank you, I downloaded HWinfo and it says that my voltage is at 1.37--v

I already put the core voltage to 1.260v at BIOS but it seems like it's not working.. :(

There can be many ways to do this... the one I am familiar with is as follows:
- Set your CPU voltage mode to 'Adaptive', or the equivalent. This means voltage only increases by CPU speed and if AVX instructions are present.
- Modify the voltage offset. Set it to a positive offset.
- Set the offset low to begin with, and gradually work up until your CPU is stable and no crashes.
*Starting with an offset of 0 or low values may cause your computer to not boot or windows will crash quickly. This is fine. Low voltages cannot harm your computer. Keep increasing by a little bit each time until it is fully stable.
My experience with a 4790k was that the max stock voltage was 1.22v and to keep it stable at 4.6GHz, I added an offset of +0.060v, which takes the maximum normal voltage to 1.278v, or slightly higher if AVX is being used.
