80°C constant on my CPU and GPU both while gaming

rawfiul · Apr 14, 2018

Its a brand new build:
i5 8400 (stock cooler) [I cant buy a new cooler rn]
zotac 1060 6gb (dual fan)
MB: Asus Prime b306m k
1 chassis intake fan
i live in Kolkata, India (33°C in mid april)

Is this temperature ok or i have done something wrong?

This question has been asked alot but im concerned because its a new build and my first.
Really appreciate replies

Thanks

Temp is fine, if you can adding new fan, 1 intake 1 exhaust to create some air flow.

zyh1987 :

can i do that a week later? Will it be a problem if i delay it?

also i have an intake fan in front exactly at mid
im thinking of using an exhaust not on rear top but on upper side.back, feels like alot of hot air releases from that area instead of rear top.

It’s not too much of an issue, you might want to have another intake fan at from lower, your 1060 is generating lots of heat too, you want to get rid of that as well.

Your CPU is running 80C? 80C is fine for the GPU, but I personally don't like my CPU getting above 60 or 65C. 70C tops for sure. If you see 80C while stress testing that's fine. But if you see that while gaming I'd try to bring that down some.

how to?

80C while gaming or stress testing?

You'll need to get a new cooler probably. I haven't ran a stock cooler in "forever". They are too noisy and run the CPU too hot. More so if you are in a warm climate. My Hyper 212+ keeps my i7 3770K under 65C while gaming. Quietly. They why I use it.

while gaming.
i can afford Hyper 212+ at the moment

how to get rid of gpu heat?

rawfiul · Apr 14, 2018

i was so excited to play on this setup and now i just cant think of anything else than temperatures. Some say 80 is ok for cpu but not for gpu, some say vice versa. Will setting an exhaust even help?

4745454b · Apr 14, 2018

80C is fine for a GPU, not for a CPU. If you don't have a budget for fans there really isn't anything you can do. An exhaust fan might help, might not make a difference at all. A budget of zero means there isn't much you can do.

4745454b :

what if i do extend my budget to more than an exhaust? what suggestions then? please help

A better than stock HSF. What are you settings? Vcore and what not?

havnt messed with any settings yet.

please suggest what can be done with the minimum costs so that i can use my pc properly

I don't know Indian stores. In the USA, a better heatsink would run ~$25. Notice I said a better HSF, not just a new HSF. There are many cheap ones out there that are no better than what you already have.

25 dollar? cooler master 212 is 45 here

4745454b · Apr 17, 2018

As I said, in the USA. There isn't anything magical you can do to remove heat. Even fans won't help tons. You have to have a good cooler. That's it.
