I currently have a AMD FX-8350 at stock temperatures with a Thermaltake Frio. I'm using a Sapphire HD7970 OC (got it for $239 on black friday) and the temperatures are quite hot.
I believe the reason for the heat is the higher TDP, as my last build was quiet and cooler (room would get to 81F max after hours of gameplay on 3570k OC'd and GTX 680).
My current build gets quite warm, with my room at no gameplay easily getting to 83F. If I play games I can expect the room to get to 84F if not 85F. When I tried to play Titanfall last time my room was 87F!
That is too hot. The AC in here is on too, set to 76F and I can feel it pumping out cool air but my current setup is too hot.
I think its a combination of a different PSU (I used corsair hx series psu's in my intel build before) my current psu is a Rosewill Capstone. The fan is always spinning hot air as well.
I just want to know if I should consider switching to 4770k or 4820k as microcenter is offering them at $269 each. If I switch I will have to sell my current mobo (Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3) and my FX-8350.
Here is my build:
X-Star 27" inch Korean 2560X1440p monitor
AMD FX-8350 stock clock with a Thermaltake Frio
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
Sapphire AMD HD 7970 OC edition
128GB Kingston SSD
1TB Western Digital Black HDD
NZXT Source 530
Rosewill Capstone 750W PSU
8GB RAM
