CPU and GPU Getting Kinda Hot?

[Bector06]

Hello all,

I hope this is the correct category for my question (apologies if not). Basically, I am worried that my PC is overheating while playing games. To give context to my question, below is my build prior to my problem starting:

Case: NZXT S340
CPU: i5-7600K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: ASUS GE Force GTX 1070 8GB Dual Series Video Card
MB: ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K6 ATX LGA 1151
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z 16GB DDR4 3200
HD: WT Caviar Blue 1 TB
SSD: Kingston UV400 120GB
PSU: Thermaltake - Toughpower Grand RGB 750W 80 Gold+ Fully Modular

So with this setup the most demanding games I was playing were PUBG, and Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Played both at 1080p and didn't really have a problem with CPU/GPU temps (highest the CPU got to was 60C and GPU 70C).

I thought about my build and decided I wanted to game at 1440p, so I upgraded my GPU to the MSI GE Force GTX 1080 (it was just an extra $100 so why not) and got myself a 1440p monitor to go with it. Now when I play PUBG or Wildlands, I notice my CPU temp reaching 70-74C and the GPU reaching 80-82C. I did OC the GPU with the MSI gaming app at first, but stopped it after I noticed the temps getting higher than the previous norm, but the CPU/GPU remained just as hot.

So my question is: are these temperatures something I should be worrying about? I would really like to not fry my PC so any help is much appreciated.

PS: I did not change the stock fans that came with the case or added any additional fans, (if that influences anything)

Considering you are pushing the quad core probably at 100% usage all the time while gaming at 1440p with a GTX 1080, 70-74C is not surprising with the 212EVO. Might want to play around with the fan curve in BIOS if it allows. Or get a better cooler. (not that there's anything wrong with the 212 EVO for the price)

GPU is warm but perfectly safe at 82C. Again, if you want a cooler GPU, work on the fan curve.

get more fan, and btw if u want 1440p better go 1080 TI, also consider on changing to i7 7700k, with more raw power it should lessen the burden on CPU so that the temps won't get too high

That's not really all that hot for your CPU. Max temp before throttling is 100c.

Thank you all for the responses. I will definitely look into all the advice you guys just gave me. Also glad to know the temps aren't abnormal. I'm still pretty new to PC gaming so thanks for the help

if you have a small micro case try taking the side off see if the temps are less. also if the pc is a desk make sure there good airflow.
