[SOLVED] CPU temperature 90degrees

[ScreamX]

well..i've a core i7-3770K and it gets really hot when i am playing video games liek apex/Rust etc..the temp keeps raising till it reaches 85-90degrees so i don't know if that is normal temperature for that CPU or is it overheating..i've 2fans in front of the PC case and 1radiotor with a pump (liquid cooling) from asetek

PC specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K -Not overclocked
GPU: Nvidia geforce GTX 1660 (Gigabyte)
RAM: 16GB
Windows: 10 x64

My goodness, that price gap is huge; there's no in-between the cheap and expensive coolers. That's definitely hurting your options.
The most promising ones are the Gamdias Boreas M1-610 and the Aorus ATC800, but the latter is quite overkill for a 3770K.

Sadly that is how is it here..as i stated the Aorus is really really so expensive i can't afford buying a cooler for 1800EGP lol..that is like my whole month salary after 2years so by excluding it..i think i should go with the GAMDIAS but sorry i've 2questions,
first i've never heard about GAMDIAS trade mark before te be honest so is it trusted? like will it work properly etc..?as i heard about cooler master alot and it is kidna common and famous..i've searched and compared the 2 coolers and i saw that the GAMDIAS is 160MM and the fan speed ranges from 800-2600 RPM ±10% unlike the coolermaster which is 120mm and averages from 650-1800 RPM (PWM) ± 10% so in numbers the GAMDIAS is much better but is it really better than the coolermaster in real?

second, is the liquid cooling better than the air cooling? and if yes..is the only downside of it that it can be worn up in average 5years like mine? as it if it is that the case (the AIO is better than the normal air cooling) and can do well with OC ad it is kinda the same price..so i may just go with it? like we got the DeepCool and Xigmatek and both are kinda well known trademarks too so what do you recommend?like i don't really have a problem if i would change my cooler every 5years it is kinda ok but i would rather have a better cooling you know

My old PC ( built Jan. 2013) does have a 3770k, overclocked to 4.3 with 1.14 volt, cooled by corsair H80 ( still working without any problems ).

With prime95 it reached about 70-75 degree. That means, your temperature is very high for a not overclocked 3770k.

In the meantime I built a new PC (Jan. 2020), and the Oldie is only used as backup.

Alright..that actually means kinda proves that the cooler is the problem..i am actually planning to build a new PC but after 3years minimum so that is why i was thinking about over clocking my CPU..so i want to get a cooler that will be able to handle the i7-3770k temps when over clocked..that is why i was thinking about the liquid coolers as i think they are better at cooling other than normal air coolers?

I couldn't tell you about Gamdias, because they have a small presence here in the US.
Cooler Master, yeah, they're popular, but I think they're asking a bit much for that Hyper 212(750EGP) that's listed. That's like 160-230EGP more than what it would normally go for in the US.
Corsair, Cooler Master, NZXT and the like are going to be expensive(import taxes and whatnot), almost forcing you and your fellow citizens to look at other brands.

In most situations, a good hybrid cooler is going to 'beat' a good air cooler. But there are good and bad hybrid coolers just like there are good and bad air coolers.
120mm. These things don't have enough going for them. The only time these are worth getting is in scenarios where the clearance is so low, that a tower air cooler can't fit.
A tower air cooler is going to perform just as well, last longer, and be more affordable.

140mm. Seems to have been phased out.

240mm. This is in a similar boat to 120mm, IMO. They just don't have enough on offer Vs either big air or 280mm hybrids. If either big air or 280mm fits, 240mm is a hard pass.

280mm. Best hybrid class all around, IMO. Ironically, it's the 2nd least popular of the sizes available...

I could go on, but no...
I've been using hybrids for almost a year now, and some of the biggest downsides with them I've noticed is that:
-They are deceptively expensive, because of the following...
-You need a backup cooler on hand when - not if - it inevitably fails, or endure extensive downtime until you can get the replacement cooler. The backup can also help confirm that the hybrid has failed.
-Chance of leaks is very low, but the possibility is still there. Odds go up if being careless. People buy into them anyway knowing the risks, or at least I hope they do.
-Longevity isn't their strong suit. Depending on use, abuse, component quality, and perhaps luck, they can give up in under a year, or go as far as like, 9 years(rare).

Thank for for all these information dude <3 i really appreciate that so much..so from your words i see that the best choice currently is the Gamdias and i think i will be going for it as you stated but do you think that the Gamdias will be fine if i overclocked my CPU?? as it is a 160mm
