Is my GPU causing my CPU to go on fire?

Androbot10 · Jul 6, 2017

Idles temps are around 36-40. Under prime 95 and aida 64, never broke 70 degrees with celcius for core 3 and never broke 65 with cores 0-2. While playing games, it reaches 73 with core 3 and core0-2 reach 68. These are safe temps but very hot compared to everyone else.

Which motherboard and CPU do you have? There are many i5s...what games are you playing?

Your graphics card generates heat inside your case. Your H60 is pulling warm air from inside the case over the radiator. That is less efficient that cool outside air. You may need more intake fans to allow more heat to be exhausted by the graphics card vents. You can test this theory by running with the side panel off.

4.2 ghz with i5 7600k with a MSI z270 gaming carbon pro motherboard at 1.15 volts. Rainbow six siege and csgo. And for the other person. If I use the radiator as I take then it will just be pulling the hot air that went out of the case back in

that's why it should be intaking from the front.

There's no room in the front

Yes, it turns out it helps by taking off the side off the case. There is no room for intakes. Any suggestions?

Change the intake fans to higher CFM. They will probably be louder.
