Hi there!
I recently started building a new computer because my old one crashed and burned (literally). I had to get a new motherboard and cpu, so I went from my old i7 920 @ 2.67GHz to an AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5GHz. I recycled my old GTX 260 from my old computer into my new one along with the RAM, then bought an SSD and installed Windows 8.1. I've been keeping a close eye on temperatures, because I'm always afraid when I build something that I'll mess it up somehow. I wanted to ask the community here if my temps were looking good or not.
CPU Temperatures:
At Idle (0-5% Usage): 17°C to 24°C
Under Typical Load (30-50% Usage): 28°C to 35°C
Under Peak (For me) Load (60-80% Usage): 35°C to 45°C, sometimes peaking up 50°C for a second or two
GPU 1 (NVidia GeForce GTX 260 Reference Card)
At Idle: 57-60°C
Under Load: 85°C
GPU 2 (ATI Radeon HD 5670)
At Idle: 50°C
Under Typical load: 52°C - 55°C
*This GPU is used to power two additional monitors and isn't used for gaming
SSD:
At Idle: 36°C
Under load: 40°C
HDD 1:
At Idle: 35°C-37°C
Under load: 40°C-45°C
HDD 2:
At Idle: 41°C
Under load: 42°C-46°C
Ambient Case Temperatures (From CPUID HWMonitor)
TMPIN0: 42°C-49°C
TMPIN1: 41°C-47°C
TMPIN2: 23°C-36°C
Do these temperatures look good? I'm already planning on adding more fans to the case, specifically a 120mm fan to the forward-facing side-panel and an additional 120mm fan on my CPU cooler, possibly with one more 120mm fan on the top of my case, although this would require a modification to the case as it doesn't have a built-in fan slot.
Thanks,
Kayla ~
