i7 3770k my tops out at 80c

[madcap42]

Hi now I run a i7 3770k with boost to 3.9 ghz and have a gigabyte GTX 780 3x windforce not the temps of my i7 reach in MEGA multiplayer gaming bf3/4 planetside2 80-81 has not gone further using Artic cooler Freezer 13 and my gaphics card reaches temps of 75-80 Now i'm pretty sure i'm fine and in no way damaging my components But i would like to be sure from other people's opionions

That's well within Intel's thermal threshold for that processor, could be lower, but you aren't going to damage it or shorten its lifespan to any appreciable degree.

Your video card temperature is perfectly normal as well, you're all good!

actually 80c is really hot for the cpu and most likely to cause damage. is your case well ventilated? is the heatsink properly seated? have you re-applied new thermal paste? is there dust in your system? is your system cable managed?

Yeah i built it properly i hope lol NO seriously i'm getting no interuptions in games processoer cools down pretty quickly when i come out of games remember i'm not using liquid cooling and i am boosting to 3.9hhz

Also as i stated it does not go further than 81c and i have been in extreme muiliplayer battles where everything is going on

in that case you're ok i have my 4770k clocked to 4.6GHz i usually get 64c load but in recommendation the cooler master hyper evo 212 helps alot at only 29.99$

it seems there is likely to much heat building up in your case.
although the processor has a high threshold before malfunctioning and starting a fire your mother board has other components on it that will quickly show they have been running that hot.
your video card temp is fine but optimal stability and real clock rate under load is reached with low temps as is the same for the cpu
u need 60c and under for decent stability and 50c in everything u do for optimal performance and stability overtime or u simply have to much heat to even really call it stable in my opinion
