So I'm new here. I use to be big on gaming back in the day (2000-2005), but I finish school and started spending most my time working in the industrial field (I'm an E&I Technician)
So one day I had the crazy idea to build a new power PC, because I wanted to start a few youtube channels for all the hobbies I'm into (fishing, cooking, boating, firearms, forging, gaming...etc) I needed a powerful PC to use for audio and video editing. Long story short I'm a bit odd/weird/extreme type of person so I made a coffee table into a gaming PC. Here are the specs:
Intel Core i5-7600K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.8 GHz (didn't know for $50 more I could have got the i7..UGH!)
Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer 120 CPU Water Cooler
ASUS ROG STRIX GTX1060 with a Barrow GPU Water Block
ASUS TUF Z270 Mark 1 LGA1151
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4
SAMSUNG MZNTE512HMJH 512GB M.2 SSD Solid State
All running on Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate(I wanted to use Ubuntu 17.04 to use VMWARE with a passthrough but I was having too many issues with drivers.)
I have at the moment the input and output 1/4 inch 15ft hoses running under the carpet, behind the sofa, and to a mini refrigerator with 15ft of 1/4 inch copper tubing going to a 16oz glass mason jar acting as a reservoir.
I been out of the gaming crowd for awhile but playing GTA5 on very high settings I'm getting 20-24 degrees C after playing for 1 hour. I'm looking online for an average temp and I'm seeing 25 - 40 C. I just completed today and wanted to post pictures, video, and do a benchmark but I'm working shift until Tuesday. I'm using the software that came with my GPU (ASUS GPU Tweak II) and set it to "gaming mode" for overclocking. It just cause the GPU temp to raise 3 degrees to a steady 23 degrees. It peaked at I think 25 C degree because I was playing GTA5 while I was running backup and Windows updates.
My question is if 20 to 25 degrees C normal for the specs I have under a load?
