Will this setup overheat or no

Will a i7 4770k with a GTX 770 2gb overheat bad while playing these games: Guildwars 1 and 2, World of Warcraft, Runescape 3 after many hours of gaming? (of cource not all at once 😛)

I'm buying a prebuilt hp with these specs and i am worried i'll have overheating issues.

You should be fine! as long as the heatsink for the i7 is sufficient, such as no overclock, youd be fine with stock. and nVidias cards tend to run a bit cooler than AMDs, so as long as you have decent airflow within the case you should be fine!

I never "overclocked" a cpu, at least i don't think i have.. Do you have to actually set your cpu to overclock it? Or does it automatically overclock itself?

And thanks for that info, makes me feel better now 🙂

You have to do it manually, with a 4770K it has a base freq of 3.5Ghz, and turbo to 3.9Ghz, If you want higher frequencies than that you will need to do some overclocking a change CPU voltages, I would highly recommend doing some reading into OC'ing before you attempt to do anything if your a beginner.

In reality, unless you need to, you should be fine at the stock frequencies. Especially if you are not liquid cooling it, or at least upgrading the heatsink, because putting more voltage to it will make it run hotter.

Hope this helps some
