Title. When I had GT 1030, CPU had 50C temperature during gaming. Now, I installed GTX 1070 ti and CPU is stable on 70C. I was wondering if that's normal? Which temperature is dangerous and which is "kill zone"?

These are all the PCIe cables, coming with Type 4.

Alright! Is it normal, however, that a slot of pins seem empty?

Before I get called "noob", let me assure you that I never installed a monster GPU card that also required PSU cables to be connected (used gt 1030 low profile for long). I got Corsair RMX 650 wat. Those cables... Type 4 is for PSU while PCIe is for the gtx 1070 ti?

Ok, thanks for addressing my concerns! Aside of the lack of CPU Cooler (Which I MAY get in future if needed), is my build good enough? GPU is weak, I know but it's a temporarily card until I will buy a gtx 1070 ti in the next months. I assume GT 1030 can fit just fine in that MOBO?

I don't even know how to mess CPUs like that. I mean, turning on turbo, overclocking, etc.. I literally never touched CPUs before lol and probably won't as I am not even interested about them. I assume turbo mode is disabled on default. So with the locked CPU on default (3.2ghz), I will get less temperature in general?

Uhm.. What are the acceptable temperature for i7 8700 and which temperature are "danger zone" for it?

We will see how it will go! The noise issue is irrelevant for me as I am deaf so.. I will see how high the temperature goes during gaming and video editing though. If it becomes an issue, I could buy a H121 cooler.

Elaborate on lighter tasks? I don't play 6 hours a day for gaming for example. :c

Stock cooler for now. I was told it should be good enough with no issues.

This will be my first soon-to-be-gaming PC. I ordered the following specs: Case: NZXT H500 CPU: I7 8700 RAM: 16GB RAM GPU: GT 1030 2GB (Temporarily card, I am planning to upgrade it to GTX 1070 ti in next months) MOBO: ASUS PRIME B360-PLUS RETAIL PSU: CORSAIR RMX650 GOLD CERTIFIED Opinion?
