Using stock cooler, yeah. I've had the processor for 2 years now, but not upgrading at the moment. Will these temperatures be alright until, say, mid-2017? That's when I intend to upgrade my PC. I don't need to reduce the clockspeed in the BIOS though, right?[/quotemsg] No you dont need to...

My first advice would be to ensure that your computer is not using the integrated graphics card (Intel) on the board and is using the Gtx, you can check this in the GeForce Control panel, or by using performance mode in your energy saver options menu in the EDIT: Windows control panel
