Question Best temperature curve for gaming on the fans

[theboss306]

Hi,

I'm struggling to find the best temperature for my components, especially my CPU when playing high demanding games. Would you be able to let me know if you have any recommendations for what the temps should be setup as?

My components are as follow:

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8Ghz
- GPU : RTX 4060 Ti
- Processor cooler: NOCTUA DH-14
- Case: LianLi LANCOOL 216 RGB
- Motherboard: MPG B550 GAMING PLUS


Thank you,

for both CPU & GPU
i would aim for low 30s while idle,
max high 60s while being stressed.

Thank you for the recommendation, do you know any software that would be compatible for this case/motherboard in order to change the temps? Or should I just do it directly from the BIOS?

do you know any software that would be compatible

the motherboard control software, available from the product support download page(s), should offer board fan header control.
though i always have a BIOS profile loaded for when/if i'm not booting directly into the OS.

there are also 3rd party options like SpeedFan that should offer detailed settings for any available fan headers.

for GPU control i always use MSI Afterburner along with RivaTuner.
it is produced by MSI but can detect any manufacturer's card's settings and has a very light use load.

However, if you reach 70c, it will not affect the CPU much, if any. The max safe temp is 80c. I would not go above that, and I recommend being at least 5-10c below the max, so 70-75c is "okay," but below 70c is ideal.

Thank you for the help, I would also like to opt for quieter but efficient fan speeds
