Hello.
I have a I7 3770 with a stock cooler at stocks clocks and while gaming on ultra settings the temps go up to 85 degrees. Ambient temperature is 30.
I had a problem with power draw on most parts so all the temps. were way lower than normal and today I finally fixed it the temps went up massively.
GPU went up to 75 while under load which is normal I guess but it's the CPU that I'm worried about.
I had to completely open my case up to get it down to stable 85 as while the case was closed it was reaching 92+. I have no additional coolers case coolers.
So a few questions.
Is a stable 85 too high while under load for few hours ? Is it possible for me to only change the thermal paste as it wasn't changed for 3 years or do I have to buy a new cooler as well ?
What are the target temps I should be looking for on this CPU idle/load. I know it's max temp. is 105 but I'd like to keep it under 80 if possible.
I have read many threads on this topic but couldn't find a consistent answer. Thank you!
