Some further testing (with standard fan mode): Overwatch 66-72 °C BF1 69-75 °C Cinebench 1064 (almost 100 increase) OpenGL 168.16 fps Think everything is safe and stable. Pretty sure you can run this card into the 80's safely anyway. Cheers.

Hi, I just overclocked my new i7-7700K to 4.8 GHz at 1.225V and would like some feedback on results and temps as I know there's some controversy around this chip. Case: Corsair Carbide Series 200R Mid tower (2 chasis fans) CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D15S (with second additional fan) Motherboard...

Just ran AIDA64 for 10 mins, here are the results: https://gyazo.com/da5aa8eaeccf67c1e4b7f10b68ebd837 https://gyazo.com/9f3c16402178b97069a64f4552e2b1bf Seen a couple people get slightly better results but they have better coolers, so I think it's pretty standard for 7700K's to run this hot...

I had a check just to be sure but it looks like it's mounted correctly. And it only peaked at 83, most of the time it sits around 70-77. Intel have said that reaching 75-80 is normal. 100 degrees is the T-junction for the processor and any temperatures below that value are considered expected...

Hi there, I have recently upgraded to an i7 7700K and obviously it is running much hotter than my previous i5. I've already hit 83 degrees when gaming, which is well safe at stock speeds but I do plan to overclock which throws Intel's 100 degrees limit out the window. I therefore would like to...

Hi there, I have just set up my first overclock and have a couple questions I would like to ask. Using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility I am clocking my i5 4690K to 4.3 GHz with 1.170V. The highest temperature I saw during stress tests was 74C, however after a long gaming session I noticed it...

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my CPU and would like some suggestions or advice. Current rig: CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K GPU: NVIDIA GTX 970 RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz I am tempted to buy the Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2 GHz, which is currently selling for only £10 more...

I know this was a long time ago, but thought I might update in case anyone has a similar issue as I discovered the problem. It was in fact the BenQ monitor software (that came on the disc) that was interfering with my settings. Once I uninstalled that, I had no problems. It saved my settings and...

Hi, I'm currently having an issue with my Lenovo G50-30 laptop. When the laptop is bumped or sometimes just moved, the screen cuts out to black and only turning the power off and on restores it. I am pretty sure the most sensitive area is the bottom left corner, below the keyboard, where even...
