Post your idle temps.
Are mine ok?
>>52234551
A-Ayy lmao?
Re-mount your cpu cooler.
Caribbean here. Temps are steady.
What's the point in idle temps? Max load temps are more interesting.
>>52235001
True but if your idle temps are like OPs then there's a problem.
baka desu senpai
I have my cpu fans down to their physical lowest until it hits 50c then they ramp up.
I used to have the fans completely off, but I was scared of the liquid getting too hot in my shitty AIO cooler.
This is overclocked at 4.4ghz at 1.11v
Somehow I managed to get a 212 EVO in a $285 computer.
>>52235620
I'm more interest how you got a 4690k in a computer that price.
>>52235708
Doh, I'm an idiot who clearly can't read.
Still that's good money!

How are you using speccy on win 10. Sunday I feel asleep downloading syndicate and when I woke up it updated and other then set the default browser to ie and delete cpuz and speccy because they were not compatible I don't know what changed.
>>52235708
He threw in the case, too. (Fractal Design Core 3000 USB 3.0)
Though it's not GSkill 1866 RAM like he said, it's Kingston 1600 CAS 10. He probably decided last second to swap out and keep the good stuff for his new build.
I'm not complaining.
I have another 2x2GB 1600 CAS9 that another guy threw in for free when I went to pick up his mobo/RAM/case combo, so I think I'll see if this will run at CAS 9 and bump this build up to 12GB.
Drives are carryovers. There's another $160 there, so technically it's a $445 computer w/ SSD and 2.8TB. $475 including monitor.
9-9-9 bluescreens. 9-10-10 passes windows memory diagnostics and Prime95.
CPU has a Corsair h75 water cooler, GPU has stock fans. not sure why the GPU's reported idle temp is always so high though. I've felt the heatsink fins before during idle and they feel pretty cool to the touch. Under load though, it hardly ever goes over 70.
It's all in a HAF XB EVO case (awesome cube-style case, would absolutely recommend).
>>52236502
How does the 970 deal with driving 1440 at that refresh?
I am >>52235586 I was thinking about getting rid of my panels for a 1440p ultrawide
>>52236536
it depends on the game and graphics settings, really. At 1440 it kinda struggles in Fallout 4 until I lower the anti-aliasing, but at this resolution you can get away with lower AA settings. I also turn off the wetness feature for good measure (probably unnecessary). Fallout 4 caps at 72fps so I can't say how much higher it would go without the cap. The Talos Principle averaged a little over 120fps and Tales from the Borderlands literally never went below 144fps.
I've barely had the monitors for 2 weeks (excluding about a week of traveling during the holidays) so those are the only games I've played on them so far. Ultrawide's gonna be even more resource-hungry though, so if you're playing demanding games you might want to either invest in a second 970 for SLI or settle with lower graphics settings until the new Pascal GPUs come out
>>52236495
CAS 10
I think I'll keep it at stock.
cant complain
>>52236697
Yeah I was thinking about SLI but to be honest I regretted not buying a 980 as soon as I fired it up. I really don't want to buy another one.
I think I'll wait, thanks dude.
4690K is clocked at 4.2GHz with a Hyper 212 EVO.
* now with 12GB RAM.
thanks 212 evo
>>52234551
Too hot?
Who the fuck even cares about idle temps ?
Full load temps or kill you're selves.
Muh board on fire tho
>>52238195

AYY.
>>52238272
is the 950 any good? What games do you play with it
Okay guys, you got < 1000 dollars to spend on upgrades, what would you do?
Best performance for the buck wins
>>52236640
>980 sli
>not ti
Why?
>>52239596
It's brilliant for 1080/60 gaming on high-ultra settings and has lots of overclocking headroom. You just have to use lower AA.
Everything I've tried has ran smoothly.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-geforce-gtx-950-strix,4270.html
Not great, but it isn't at true idle (~5% load) and my room is rather hot. So this seems acceptable. i3-4160.
>>52239606
i7 4790k $350
mobo $100-150
sell 970s $+3-400
buy 1-2 980ti $550-1400
if you get 1 980ti get a 5820k or better
obviously sticking with the 970s if the best perf honestly for now but Im still stuck in the 3.5 gb meme and doubly so when it comes to sli
>>52236734
holy shit that is a beast system. Aren't your ssd temps below ambient?
>>52239758
What you're telling me to do is basically what I was planning on doing anyways.
I am probably gonna sell my 970s or trade em for a 980 ti.
What I plan on getting:
Corsair RM Series 650 Watt
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2x8GB DDR3 2400MHz
I7-6700k
Z170 ATX Motherboard
Grand Total est with tax n shit; A bit over 1grand fml.
So yeah, I probably will just use the 4790k :\
>>52236734
>2gb GTX 980 ti
Wut
>>52240170
As long as you get a decent 4790k the OC will make it negligible. also dont forget the little bump from selling your old system( should you want to).
good choice on the rm 650 m8, got a rm 850 myself.
If you can go to a microcenter, do it.
Hyper 212 EVO and 3,5gb meme
Why do i want 32gb of ram so badly....
hue
>>52240299
that seems a little spicy for a 212
>>52240339
Faulty sensors on fx 8k chips. Add 10c.
>>52240360
What do you mean? Too high?
>>52240397
Nah, it's just a 212 Plus in push/pull with two high pressure fans on low RPM.
>>52240398
yeah a little, poor airflow maybe?
>>52240428
Annd, I'm running it at 3,8Ghz only.
>>52234551
>>52240428
No really, your CPU is not that cool. It's a well known issue with those chips.
>>52240474
Welp, I remember getting around those temps with my old 965BE.
>>52240442
Fans are automatically controlled by Asus AI Suite and they are running at only 30%.
Corsair 300R with 1 front and 1 back fan and the Hyper 212 EVO with its only fan. I mean it's 37°C it's still waaaay far from danger
>>52240550
no doubt there, but what are your load temps like? i fell like you might be throttling a little at higher temps
>>52235879
Download them back.
Did this to me , but only once.
>>52240576
I don't know i haven't really checked. I only know the gpu never goes more than 60°C because that's where the fans turn on. I'll have to check the CPU temps tomorrow. What should they be like?
>>52239500
Any oc ?
Hows the 390 with 2500k
[email protected] here.
>>52240623
mid 60s to 70s
but the important thing to watch for is you clock speed at those temps. I dont doubt they could be fine, but your idle temps just kinda caught my eye.
>>52240659
>390
>3072mb r9 200
nice try senpai
>>52240677
I disabled turbo mode and set up the bios so that the CPU always runs at 3.5@GHz if that's what you mean. I don't think the cpu ever goes more than 40°C though. I'll keep an eye on that when gaming
>>52240719
i guess maybe your cpu was at some minor background load in that pic. i wouldnt worry then.
>>52234551
Why are everyone's computers so hot?
>>52240769
Nah it's still 38°C, i guess that's the minimum i get if i don't speed up the fans a bit. Thanks for pointing that one out though!
asd
>>52240696
Not sure if bait but ill bite
I link a speecy you should take the time to read : >>52239500
>>Nice Post Senpai
CPU sits at 27c on linux, which is my main os
Anyone got some good cpu cooler suggestions? Don't have much physical space; using stock atm.

I moved from Florida to California and my overall temps dropped 3 degrees. I think humidity is bad for PC temps.
>>52235932
I don't understand why people buy unlocked processors if they never intend to overclock. I always save 50 bucks and buy the locked ones because I don't OC.
>Windows 7 Ready!
>>52241605
hey non K bro
>>52237938
>>52240659
4.8ghz at 1.35V, so yes a heavy overclock. the 390 is a perfect match for my 2500k, they're both great tuners.
>>52241471
thanks oniichan ~~<3
>>52241872
Not sure about that guy, but I did my first build over xmas on a budget and figured I'd rather have the option to OC when I upgrade budget parts anyway.
This is in a fan cooled mitx build
