HELP! I think my CPU is getting too hot when i play games!

[Bobskibruno]

I play FPS games like BF4 and 3 I currently have them on high settings, When I play my CPU gets to temperatures from 70*C - 85*C. My Graphics card gets around 70*C. My CPU is a Intel i7 4790K @ 4.00 GHz with the stock cooler. My Graphics card is an EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 SC with 2GB Graphics. My case is a Thermaltake A31 with 2 stock fans. I've only had this computer for around a month now and I am getting worried about the temps that my CPU is getting. The program that I am using to monitor my CPU's temp is Real Temp and the one for my graphics card is the GPU Meter Desktop Gadget.

Yes, that cpu certainly is running a little hot. Has the cooler been fitted correctly? Also, do the BIOS temp read-outs concur with your software read-outs?
The graphics card temps are well within normal limits, so no worries there.

cpu very hot, gpu not so much
put 4 more 120mm fans and a fan controler so that uyouy can adjust the speed of the fans depending on the games you play
get a cpu cooler, air noctua 14 or water corair h100i,

Replace stock cooler with Coolermaster hyper 212 evo.

That's one way to reduce your temps, but you can do it for a bit cheaper. A CM Hyper 212 Evo would cool your CPU plenty, and it's only around $30. A couple case fans could also help so the cooler isn't just blowing around the same hot air. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099&cm_re=hyper_212_evo-_-35-103-099-_-Product (Not the cheapest price, I'm sure)

Thanks for replying. I'm 99.99% sure that the CPU is fitted correctly, it doesn't move at all when I push it a bit and the pins are pushed all the way down. I'm kind of a noob so I have no clue what your second sentence means 😛 sorry. btw the idle temps are 30-40*C and when the computer turns on like the initial start-up its around 55-65*C. Thanks for your help.

Yes, getting more fans was my first option. I am going to go with corsair AF Performance fans and maybe a SP one for the drive cage. Idk what fan controller to get any suggestions.
As for cooler I was thinking to go with the http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23&products_id=12959 or the http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_1694&products_id=26099&zenid=802f3c03fb7996ea2def596946ed41c3 .
Thanks for replying!!

Idk man id rather pay like $70-120 and get something better, the evo doesn't look like it would do much!
im thinking to get either the http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_1694&products_id=26099&zenid=802f3c03fb7996ea2def596946ed41c3 or the http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23&products_id=12959 .

Like I said to Boosted1g I would rather get a better one! 😛

I'd go with the other suggestions and replace the stock cooler. Don't forget the thermal grease!

Do you have any suggestions on what cooler to get e\besides the CM Hyper 212 Evo

I gather from your mail address that you are in Oz?
Look around on http://au.pcpartpicker.com/
They have many coolers listed there and I see that the CM part being recommended comes in at around $37.

I cannot personally recommend any cooler. Run a stock cooler on my little i3 and it serves me well enough.

There is no way the Hyper 212 Evo will be insufficient, but if you really want to spend more, you can go for a Corsair H100i or H105.
