i7 4790k at 80C on CSGO?

[Mazhar Malim]

I am currently using i7 4790k with the stock cooler and i am also using its integrated graphics but i wanted to know if these temps are safe because I think this is very hot. Is there any reason to be concerned? (BTW my cpu idles around 36C) And also will adding a dedicated graphics card decrease the temperatures cause i am going to get one this month.

it's high but within safe limits, but the stock intel cooler is junk

adding a GPU will technically take some load off the CPU but won't necessarily decrease temps, as the GPU will add heat to the internal case temp

get a better cooler for the CPU

I also tested Warface and GTA 5 but the temperatures arent that hot around 60-65C

the source engine for CSGO is fairly CPU intensive, hence the higher temps
