Homebuilt PC, CPU and GFX fans never throttle up?

[xxsjxx1]

Wondering if this is normal, il play games and my temps will get up to 70c on my i5-2500k with stock cooler and about 65c on my EVGA 560ti 448 and I never hear any difference in the fans, seems odd

Maybe you don't notice them? You can check the fan speed with things like GPU-Z

VGA coolers are usually supersized, my own VGA never throttles over 40%. You should check GPU-Z anyway, just to be sure.

Yes mine are around 40 or 45 percent, they rise a little bit it just never turns on high. Is there a certain temp that will trigger the CPU/ GPU fans to really kick up?

 

[metal orient]

Depends how the fan curve is programmed, just be glad it's quiet.

That temp is great for the graphics card, but not so much for the CPU. Is it set to stock clocks? Overclocking is not recommended with the stock HSF, and that CPU is begging to be overclocked.

Yes all stock, I read around and I guess my temps are normal for the CPU with the stock heatsink playing bf3. I might order a hyper 212 I jut hate taking my computer apart
