So when gaming my CPU temps raise to 70 degrees +, and my GPU to 90 degrees + (Celsius). I've put this down to using the generic fans that came with the CPU and Case. Anyway my fan budget is around £20-30 My motherboard is the GA-Z97X-Gaming 7, and CPU i7-4790k (Need a fan that is compatable...

Ok so recently HWMontior I found out that my: CPU temperatures were 60-70 (degrees Celsius) - (i7-4790k) GPU temperatures were 85-90 (degrees Celsius) - (GTX 980 ti) There have been a few knock on effects to this (such as display driver errors). Now I think the cause of this is due to me...

Ok thanks, now my psu came with multiple VGA wires. Should i use 2 wires 1 which connects to the 8 pin and 1 to the 6 pin. Or should i use only 1 wire which has both the 8 pin and 6 pin and connect that to the 2.

So this graphics card has Supplementary Power Connectors of 6 pin and 8 pin. Do I need to connect both of those pins? My psu does have a wire with a 8 pin and 6 pin connector. (Or do I just connect the 8 pin). PS: Sorry this may be a stupid question, first time builder here :D
