Hi Guys,
Rig specs
Corsair 540 cube
asus ranger viii
16gb DDR4 - 3000mhz
6700K - clocked to 4.5ghz
GTX 1080 asus
Cpu cooler - Raijin paladin low profile (Originally was going for a ATX case which didn't turn out)
Right here is my question and need help understanding,
my Cpu has always idled at 35-40c but when I play games it can go up to 70-80c or even higher at times, so when I played games for a long period i have always wondered why i get stuttering or drop in fps and thought could it be throttling? what indications are there that is throttling which i don't understand to much about ...
So in the end i went out and bought the coolermaster masterair and installed it last night with ease, and now getting idle temps of 25-30c with games max at 65-70 with no fps drops or stuttering.
could it have been the heat sink not being able to cope with the temps of the cpu?
sorry if i haven't explained it to well so much info in my head right now in trying to think how to explain ha
Kind regards
Jadc
