PC overheating

[Sebastian1914]

Recently I noticed that my PC started to overheat so I decided to buy a case fan to put in the rear of the case to blow the air out, but I dont know if thats enough ,

The case fan that I want to by is arctic f12 pwm 120mm. 

My PC:

Intel i7 6700k

Gigabyte ga z170 hd3p

Hyperx fury 16 gb ddr4 2400

Kingston ssd uv400 120gb

Western digital wd10ezex 1tb 64mb

Gigabyte gv n1070g1 gaming

Corsair vamp spec 01

Corsair cx750 80+ bronze

Cooler master hyper 103

 

P.s my rig is clean and free from dust

IS your 6700k overclocked at all?

If so that's a kinda weak cooler to cool an OC'd 6700k, especially if its quite a decent OC.

[Sebastian1914]

Its not overclocked . Its 4.0 ghz

[Sebastian1914]

No, its 4.0 ghz and meanwhile i dont intand to overclock

I forgot to mention that the cpu cooler is mountand on the cpu in a way that the fan is loocking on the top of the case and im going to rotate him 99 degrees to the right

What are the temperatures? Unless it's >95C, it's not overheating

[Sebastian1914]

The cpu can reach 85-90 degrees

I mean 80-85 when I play games

That's not an issue. Probably just the weak CPU cooler. You can probably change the fan curve, if you want to lower the temperatures

What is the best temp range for the cpu while im gaming?

Ideally, as low as possible, as that just increases the lifespan. Since you have an unlocked CPU and motherboard, you should overclock, though (assuming you get a better cooler)

So can I continue gaming with the temps I have right now?

80-85c is not the worst, just don't let it get past 85, but you should still get a better cooler, temps should ideally be below 80c but yes, you can still carry on gaming and not worry about causing damage for now

Seems like I'm recommending this often now. But by far easiest and cheapest way to fix hot CPUs is to set voltage to manual and something like 1.1-1.2V. Getting extra fan helps too.
