Temp Questions

brianblaze

I've installed SpeedFan, and I know it's only registering 2 fans (GPU and Heat Sink) as the rest from the case aren't MoBo compatible so are powered direct and on 100% by default.

Just wondering what the temps I need to worry about are. Specs below, and a Sapphire 7870 GPU installed. I was playing Witcher2 (Which auto detected to High Settings) and after a few mins gameplay I went to check the temps, as I keep an eye on them due to paranoia, and it was at 55 degrees! At idle it's about 25 to 29 normally, so just wondering if I need to change/ upgrade something in my cooling setup, or is this a good temp?

Perfectly normal in fact 55 degrees is very good. I wouldn't be even the slightest bit concerned unless the CPU was heading well above 60 degrees and the GPU north of 80 degrees (Although in theory a gpu could withstand even higher temps into the 100-105 degree range is would certainly not good for it in the longer term).

Tdlr nothing to worry about from what I can see

Up to 70 degrees for a GPU is a healthy temperature, so nothing to worry about.
