Posted January 19, 2019 Just activated game boost in the bios on my msi motherboard, getting idle temps of around 50c wonder if this normal Or safe I assume the idle temps haven't changed after activation as the clock speed hasn't changed and under 100% load I'm seeing temps of over 90c nearly 100c I'm using a i5 9600k and corsair h75 cooler Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 19, 2019 90 to 100°C sounds a tad too hot to me... I guess you might wanna turn that boost feature off and/or crank up your fan speed...

Posted January 19, 2019 Author Just realised I've installed one of the fans on the rad the wrong way round, I'm now thinking that's why the temps are so high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
