Hi!

I have these question, this is my first build and im having these temperatures, is this normal?? i dont really know which must be the normal temps...

Case: HAF X,

Using only the stock fans, stock CPU cooler and i have not overclock anything

Idle Temps:

Temps after running FFXIV Benchmark (it lasts like 7 min)

Temps look fine :)

Im presuming your SSD isnt actually running at 128 degrees though 😛

For refrence im running:
Arctic Freezer 13 CPU cooler
i5-2500k OC'd to 4.4GHz
GTX 560Ti OC'd to 950MHz

CPU Temps:
Idle - low 30's
Load - Mid 60's

GPU Temps:
Idle - low 40's
Load - low 70's
 
Right now on my Intel® Core™ i7-2600K I am averaging low 30’s per core and 33c package at idle with a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ with 2 fans. So you could bring it down but it doesn’t seem outside overly hot with a stock HSF (heatsink/fan).

hi!, i got another question... hehe..

so i have an ssd as my boot and apps drive.. but lately i have been reading that is best to move the temp files and paging to another hard drive, so this way it will not cause more degrade to the ssd because of the constant read/write....

I always have many open tabs in my explorer and download many things.. so i have always many temp files... what do you think about this'??? should i move temp files and paging to another hard drive??

and also, is there any problem in having the pc running always 24/7??? i have always my pc on... anything i should be worried... ???

Is there any component that degrades a lot for being always ON?

i have the case fans connected to the power supply, so they are always spinning....


thanks!
 
Your temps looks fine :) Nothing to worry about there.

Unless you have some high overclocks you should be fine to run your PC 24/7 - components will obviously last a little less than if you for example ran it for 10 hours a day but thats to be expected.

Is there a reason you leave it on? Unless its actually doing something its probably best to drop it into sleep/hibernate.

As for the SSD question, i dont use one personally so i cant be of much help there.
 
You should move the page file to another drive, unnecessary I/Os to the SSD. Dont worry much about temp files, they are not deleted immediately after use and mostly just read plus having the temp files on the SSD will increase speed of applications that use them.
