depends on how high the temps are

My system is the Dell Inspiron 15 5559 Microsoft Signature Edition

Absolutely. Esp with GPU's.

 

Example... Wicked aftermarket cooling systems are nice, thinking that you'll be fine, you realise that the memory chips on the back are not actively cooled...

This can restrict your mem clocking when overclocking and chasing stability, compared to them having active cooling and faring a lot better.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Thats a good point :)

Generally yes. You likely won't notice a difference between 70C and 80C, but if it gets close to 100C then the core will start downclocking to protect itself, and you will have issues at that point (other than the issue causing you gpu to be 100C xD)

Tis what came to mind...

 

Plus what if the PC builder/user.... only has one intake fan, and no exhaust fan (dont ask why) and then puts in a decent GPU, as well as having a stock CPU cooler, expecting the front fan to do all the work is one thing, expecting the heat to leave the area is another...

With heat pooling inside the case with minimal flow to leave, this could also make it less stable over time of not set up right, esp when at load temps for prolonged periods.

I doubt it would loose stability. But it would for sure throttle down until it stoped :P

Not all things overheating will throttle. Extended periods of heat, climbing over time, making the PSU less efficient on power delivery, same as Memory with ambient heat can = BSOD's ever so random, flaky at higher temps,..., even mechanical HDD's in excessive heat can do weird things...

 

Not common, but not unheard of.

 

/Could be reasons why we can't OC SSD/HDD controllers.....too flaky when pushed..
