are my pc temps too high?

[simon_133]

hi so i brought a custom built pc about 3 days ago and just started playing battlefield 1 at 4k, 120fps max settings and i noticed my case getting warm, i then monitored my temps, this recording is from about 40mins of battlefield 1 at the above settings

Speedfan is kinda bad at reading temps.
HWinfo64 is good: https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php
Your CPU temps actually look fine.
Your GPU temps are a smidge high, but not really dangerous.

 

[simon_133]

ok i'll give a test with that software, i think the card itself is designed to stay at that temp as my titan x before it also got to that temp and stayed there, i can get it down to about 71 with 100% fan speed

 

[simon_133]

here are my readings during battlefield 1, 4k, 120fps, ultra - the game was only on for 30 mins

[James Mason]

yeah, all looks fine in HWinfo, cpu maxs out below 70c, same with GPU. Anything below 80c is of no concern.
It'd be hard/expensive to try and lower those temps, and since it's summer there isn't really even any need to.

 

[simon_133]

ok thats good to know, what fan curve do you think i should use? as the default the fan doesnt even turn on until 60 degrees do you think its better to put fans up high when the temps are at 75/80? as the benchmark and refrence show the card at 84 degrees and doesnt get higher than that, im not too used to pc's yet so sorry for stupid sounding questions

 

[James Mason]

Fan curve you have to do yourself, it's about how much heat/noise you want to deal with.
Or don't touch the fan curve at all and let the CPU decide.

 

[simon_133]

right ok, i dont care about noise at all as my headphones block 90% of sound except pc, is there a negative to having a higher fan speed to cool the pc down?

mainly just noise.

 

[simon_133]

ok thanks i'll probably just increase the fan to what is needed at that point in time to keep it below 80

 

[Mike_144]

Using a game as benchmarking for temps. aint the best solution if you wanna be sure about your hardware.

But the temperatures are fine - As we say in Danish: No cow on the ice...

Those gpu temps seem to be a bit high for a non blower/reference card.

 

[simon_133]

everyones seem to be at 80-84 degrees whilst gaming, guess it doesnt help that the default fan curve has the fan off until 60 degrees (takes the fan to 50%) and then once it hits 90 degrees the fan goes to 100% i'll monitor it with my custom fan curve to see what it maxes at

 

[simon_133]

i also have my idle fan at 20% and the card is now at 28/9 degrees with the default it was 35-40 degrees which is what the reviewers got

 

[simon_133]

ok so i now have my fans at 100% when the card hits 70degrees my card now sits at 66-70degrees and all my cpu temps are below 40 degrees, high fan speed wont damage my card right?
