    Cazapciu Alin reacted to cartrucks in rx 480 or r9 390 ?!   
    Honestly, I think that the 1070 is a bit overkill for 1080p. The 480 should be enough for gaming at high/ultra at 1080p and maybe even bump it up to 1440p at medium.

    Hello everyone.
     
    I have a fx 8350 with a Noctua NH-U9B cooler on it.
    I have a Asus r9 290 with the stock cooler.
    I have 3 120mm fans 1 mounted on the back and one on the top both as exhaust and one in front as intake.
     
    In some games my CPU goes up to 70 degrees, which is the top heat after it starts to throttle. In Battlefield 4 it hits 71 and throttles from time to time. My gpu is running on 94 degrees, with it's fan at 55%, to lower the noise.
    In any other game the CPU is running around 65 degrees. 
     
    My question is, is it because the GPU is running so hot, or are there some BIOS settings to be made, or something like that ? Amd overdrive is also off.
    Also, what should i do to lower these temps ? I was considering water cooling the GPU, but I do not know for sure that's why the CPU is going so hot.
