Are my CPU and GPU staying cool enough?

[FellIndigo]

I have a 4790k and a MSI GTX 970 4GD5T, which is the cheaper version of the gaming one.

I ran some tests and since its my first build i wanted to know for what i have if its running cool enough. (I have a hyper 212 evo cooling the cpu, not OC'd right now, neither is gpu [Planning to in the future]).

I ran FurMark along with a hardware monitor (which showed same temps almost exactly) and prime95 with a hardware monitor as well.

Results showed that the cpu at 100% load reached a max 72c and avg 70c. (for some reason fans never got above 60%)

GPU results were max 70c at 99.x% load avg 67. (Fans never got above 57%)

The furmark 1 minute "Burn in" at 1080 got 5204 at a max 89, min 83, avg 88. (Is that good? Monitor is at 144hz)

Thanks !

For your 2/3 of the bottom info is good, as long as it stays below 85C, then it is good, according to most people anyways. I prefer to super cool my systems and keep them below 60C. So if you can keep your systems at like 70 or lower then it'd be nice

Should I try and keep it below 70c? How do I get it cooler? By 2/3 of the bottom info you are saying the performance is doing good for that card?

Yeah, I'd try to keep it under 70C, always try to keep it as low as possible, as for controlling it, try download a fan control program by go ogling it. Then you can control it to set to 75% or 100% usage. The 2/3 part I meant the 100% load info at the bottom of your paragraph.

Your temps are just fine.

If you want, you can work on the airflow in your chassis, its cheap and can easily get a 5-10C of your temps, ESPECIALLY graphics cards with dual fan cooler.

Do you have any recommendations?

Do you have any recommendations?

Sure, but then you would need to give more info.

What chassis do you have?
What fans are intakes and what are exhausts?
Which way does your CPU cooler blow?

I have CoolerMaster HAF 912, 1 200mm fan intake in front (Because my mobo doesnt support more than 5 fans, and i didnt want to plug it into psu because of the wiring mess) 2 top 120 mm fans, one rear 120 mm fan and the cpu cooler faces the back outtake fan.

 

[Novuake]

So I assume the top and rear fans are extracting?

Sounds like you have a negative pressure inside your chassis, nothing wrong with that, but you could try adding one more side intake, this COULD improve airflow over your graphics card. As is your setup is pretty well ventilated, so there is not much to improve on.

if you want lower temps on your CPU simply disable turbo mode, set core voltage to offset mode and set it to auto and enable EPU, took my 4790k from 81c in aida 64 to 54c with barely any performance loss whatsoever.
