I'm a bit concerned about my motherboard temperature during heavy CPU load.
Idle:
Playing Overwatch (heavy on video, easy on CPU)
Playing Beam.NG (soft body vehicle simulation, very heavy on CPU and video)
Temperature rises to 59-61 instantly and stays there, with random, semi-rare spikes reaching as high as 65. Is this a cause for concern?
Question 1: I took a look at my setup, and noticed that there is nothing actively pumping air where the orange rectangle is. This is where I want to install a new fan. Is this a good idea? Green rectangles are active fans.
Excuse some messy wires, I had tried for hours and found ho physically possible way to run them better without using extension cords (which I may buy in the future).
Question 2: The case fans are currently connected to the case itself, which is connected to the PSU. The case has switches for off-mid-high fan speed. Should I use them like that, or is it better to connect the fans straight to my mobo for better results?
