Abnormally high temps?

[Meepimus]

I recently installed and swapped some new hardware to my PC, but in terms of actual power draw, nothing considerable changed except the introduction of an SSD.

 

PSU hasn't changed. Screenshot of temps and hardware attached below, along with task manager for current progranms and usage. The system isn't idle, but is at average use (non gaming intensive). At full load the CPU can go as high as 60 degrees. At idle it seems to hang around 45 degrees.

Previous setup:

 

Mobo: p8z68-v pro/gen3

CPU:   I5 3570K

GPU:   GTX 660TI

HDD:   5400RPM Green (something)

Plus some optical drive (unchanged)

 

New setup:

 

Mobo: p8z68-v pro/gen3

CPU:   I5 3570K

GPU:   STRIX GTX 970

SSD:   250GB Samsung 850 Evo

HDD:   7200 RPM WD Blue

Plus some optical drive (unchanged)

 

The main case fan is side-mounted and has easy airflow access to the entirety of the machine.

 

The only thing that I can think of which might attribute to the higher SSD temp is that it's mounted directly above the HDD, which is mounted at the bottom of the case. There's about 1 inch clearence between the HDD and SSD.

When I opened up the case to transfer the hardware, I noticed the CPU heat sink and fan had a few dust bunnies and casually cleaned out the worst of it with an air duster. Maybe I blew some of the dust closer to the CPU (deeper into the ehat sink)

 

I didn't get a system screen of the temps before I altered my system, but I don't remember the CPU in particular being this high.

 

I'm mainly wondering about the CPU and SSD. The CPU because I don't remember it being that high and I can't see why it would now be considerably higher, and the SSD because that seems like a evry high temperature for average usage.

 

 

Any comments on these kind of temperatures? Anyone have a similar desktop with stock coolers?

Could you get HWINFO and run that please. I've seen Speccy get temps wrong more than once.

Do you have a fan in the front to blow onto your ssd?

[Godlygamer23]

60C is fine if you're using the stock cooler.

-SNIP-

 

By adding in a new GPU with possibly a better cooler it could heat the interior of the system more but those aren't bad temps from the looks of things.

There are vents near the SSD and HDD but I don't think tehres a fan.

What it says matches speccy

 

I've been running fallout 4 for 10 minutes in diamond city (heavy load area)

 

CPU temp maxes out at around 60 degrees

GPU is completely fine

MOBO at 39 degrees

HDD maxes at 39 degrees

 

SSD maxes at 49 degrees

 

That seems oddly high to me.

Teps are perfect if they stay this way even during heavy load.

I consider to 68 a very safe temp for a cpu especially with the stock cooler.

The new beefier gpu will sure make more heat in the case especially if its a nonblower and I guess the strix you have is a custom cooler design.

have yo though of getting a fan to blow on the hard drives? what case do you have and how many fans?

You should have intake and exhaust fans in your case.

[Brennan Price]

try using a fan just upright next to it or something if you have one lying around, rerun the tests and see if it makes a difference as just vents probably arent enough for the moment.

Not entirely sure on what case I have. I bought it a few years ago and didn't put much thought into it.

As far as I can tell, it has one side-mounted fan.

 

There's no fan currently blowing on the hard drives, but what seems odd is that my HDD seems rather cool and fine temp wise, but my SSD is 6-10 degrees hotter, while they are both in the same place.

I wouldn't be worried about that unless you got a H100 or a custom loop.

If you want and have the time you could do something like this to increase air flow:

but as every one said temp are very good so I wouldn't bother.

So to clarify 45-50 degree idle/operating, and 60-65 while gaming for the i5 3570k with stock cooler is fine?

 

And

 

~40 degree idle with 50 degree gaming load is fine for the SSD?

 

If that's the case, then everything's good IMO.

Generally, the lower the better, but as far as current temperatures are concerned, nothing is overheating.
