Hi!
I have an obvious issue, if you've read title you already know, yeah.. heat
My story is: I upgraded my CPU to i7 4790k, and for 2 months it was working just fine, until I realised that my BIOS hasn't been updated ever, so I have version that's over 5 y/o
This was causing my CPU to run at 3.7GHz instead of 4.0 and 4.4 with turbo boost. So I have successfully updated my BIOS and I thought everything would be fine, I even learned how to OC my GPU with MSI afterburner
I ran OCCT and it stopped after 5 minutes 2 times, second time I read that core #0 overheated, and I looked at HWMonitor, I saw that it hit 92 degrees, Package git 92 degrees too, but I don't know what it is
So I have 2 questions now, first: I don't have any fans which take heat out of my PC case, I only have radiator mounted on my CPU, would buying one fan just to take some heat out solve this temperature issue?
Second: Can I use my PC for gaming safely before I get fan?
