CPU & GPU temps at 70-80 C, worried?

[mikkel.iuel]

I have an i7-7700k and an Asus gtx 1080 ti strix. They both get around 70-80 C when playing games like AC Origins, Prey and BF1. Is this something I should get worried about? I've tried googling a many people complain about having temps at around 60-70 so I'm kind of confused as I have decent fans in my system and even watercooling for my cpu.

I think 70-80C is ok...but I'd like to keep it under 80C.
The Tjunction spec on that processor is 100C.

70-80C is pretty normal for a video card under load.

If anything...you might try improved airflow in the case...but actually....as it is....it isn't really bad.

You're fine with those temps in my experience.

Not to worry.
80c. is a normal temperature for a graphics card under load.
Similarly, 70-85c. is not a problem for an intel chip under load.

Perhaps bothersome is why your liquid cooler is not doing better.
If it is mounted well and operating properly, I would expect to see 10-15c. over ambient at idle.

What is your case and fan arrangement?
Any cooler needs a source of fresh air to do it's job.
Do you do better with the case sides off?

he orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
Past that, A AIO radiator complicates creating a positive pressure filtered cooling setup which can keep your parts clean.

Intel is famous in using cheap thermal paste in cpu, replacing it with drop 20c .
There you go

Gpu is normal
