cpu temps are very good only getting up to 40c on a h60 water cooler. usage I think drops on idle. cpu is overclocked to 3.8ghz 1.3 volts.
rgd1101 :
that the idle temp or load temp? if that the load temp, are you sure it running at 3.8?
BF1 multiplayer with lots of players really needs more than 4 cores/4 threads. The 1200 is an entry level gaming CPU, you can expect CPU related performance issues in games which can use more threads or cores. The 1200 and 1060 are a good pairing for 1080p gaming for the most part, but there will be exceptions.
