ASUS H170 pro gaming reaches 70°c?

[Radiant]

Hey guys,

i was rendering my first 1080p 60fps video with vegas earlier and when i looked at my temps i say my CPU at about 68°c (which is ok), my GTX 1070 (2020 mhz) didnt even go above 52 but my motherboard went up to 72°c? what the heck???? is this normal??

help is appreciated

Sounds like you need some better case airflow.

If that is the VRM that's not a problem since it's under heavy perlonged load, the VRM is capable of working up to 125C. However if you want to keep it lower adding a fan or having more ambient airflow near the VRM heatsinks will help.

i have a be quiet silent base 600, with 2 fans pulling in from the front, 1 from the bottom, one pushes out at the top and at the back so i dont think its that

Where is the VRM? and i dont think it is a air flow problem considering i have a be quiet silent base 600,  2 fans pulling air in from the front, 1 from the bottom, one pushes out at the top and one at the back

But when you open your case does it feel hot inside?

Because your mobo clearly does....

just checked... doesnt even feel slightly warm, there is constant airflow and the only things that are warm are the motherboard and cpu, gpu doesnt even reach 52 and the backplate is chill af

 

maybe you need these:

VRM are the heatsinks or modules around the CPU socket, if there isn't goof airflow over them or it being limited can cause it be a little warm but I wouldn't say it's a worry until 85C.

do you think that might be because of my big cpu cooler?its a be quiet dark rock 3 i think, its massive

EDIT: i just touched one, its nearest to the backplate and it literally burned my fingers a bit that thing is really hot eventho it is right between the cpu cooler can and exhaust fan. i find this quite weird...

It should still have some incidental airflow over the VRM heatsinks to keep things relatively cool, as Enderman brought up what is the fan setup around the case.

2x 120mm fans pulling air in, toward my gpu, psu and hard drive. 1 pulling air in from the bottom because it gets a bit of air through my gpu (fans dont spin until 60°c)

1x 120mm fan pulling air out at the top and 1x 120 mm fan pulling air out at the back

That sounds pretty good to me, I think you'll be ok with that but if the temps still keep climbing then I would start to worry.

Thanks bud, i was just really worried haha. so do you think im good under 75? do me that still sounds ok considering my old amd motherboard ( god knows which one) often reached 85°c haha

For full load with 10% CPU rendering I would keep an eye on it for now but it should be ok, if things are a litle warmer than you like try doing some test by placing a fan right near the heatsinks to try and draw air over them.
