Hey, so the tomshardware forum helped me get my first pc built and put together and its running nice, I'm just a little curious about the temps I'm reaching with my cpu and gpu, and if adding a fan or something might help (if it's necessary). I hope this is the right sections, I wasn't really sure where to place it.
So my rig is as follows:
CPU: i5-2500k
MOBO: Gigabyte z68x-ud4-b3
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 2x4gb 1866
GPU: Sapphire 7850 OC edition
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320gb
PSU: Antec 550w
CD/DVD:Asus cd/dvd-r E-GREEN
Case: I'm not sure what type of case I have
Fan: I currently only have one exhaust fan at the upper rear I think it's specs are as follows:
Globe
1,200 RPM
45.2CFM
22.3 dBA
0.26A at 12V
Everything is stock, no OCing.
So I finally got it all up and running, installed windows 7 and my antivirus/firewall stuff, I also downloaded coretemp and GPU-Z to check my temps, I installed SW:TOR and played for about and hour and a half, looking at coretemp and GPU-Z it looks like while I was playing my GPU hit 60*C (I believe it was running at 100% load) and my CPU hit 60*C as well (might have been 61 can't remember now).
Just wondering first off if this was ok/normal temperatures?
Second would adding a lower front intake fan like this Scythe KAMA Flow-2 (http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX26950) reduce temps?
Third should I consider a better exhaust fan?
Finally should I be monitoring any other temps in my PC or using different monitoring tools?
I think that's all I appreciate you guys taking the time to read this over, I may have a few other questions if I think of them.
