!HELP! Heat Issues

[PicoMaster]

Recently I went out and bought the MSI Z97-G45 and i7-4790K

 

Before this I had a Asus GTX 780, and some AMD processor. I never had issues with heat until now

 

When I am playing for example DayZ my GPU gets up to 70+ degrees Celcius, and my cpu with my Corsair H55 gets to 40-50 degrees Celcius.

 

This even happens when I have a big fan blowing air into the side of my case.

 

Is this safe? Will I break my GPU  because its too hot? Is there something I can do to fix this?

 

Please help I am worried!

70 Celsius is fine for a GPU.

If you have MSI Afterburner, you can set a temperature target for GPU Boost.

If that temperature target not reached, the GPU will turbo as crazy as it can until it reaches that temperature target.

That target is usually 80°C for nvidia GPUs.

If your cooler is good enough, it won't reach that target, but on the reference cooler it easily gets to 80°C.

When playing on BF4 or DayZ with the fan at 100% it still stays around 62C but its really loud, and it never was this hot before.

Maybe your old CPU couldn't handle the full potential of that GPU and you CPU now can.

Just set the fan to auto and you should be good to go.

Everything up to 80°C is abseolutely fine for a new GPU.
