I recently build a new computer and since I've been mildly overclocking my CPU, I've kept an eye on temperatures. While doing this, I quickly noticed that my GPU was reaching insanely high temperatures (or at least i assume it's high). After starting my computer up, I opened CPUID HWmonitor, which i use for measuring temperatures, i then joined the deathrun server and played for roughly 3 minutes. At that point my gpu had gotten up to 93 degrees celsius or 200 degrees fahrenheit.
Here's my build:
Asus GTX550 ti
i5 2500 @4.0 with the vantage A.L.C water cooling
8 gb corsair vengeance ddr3 @1600
600 watt psu (can't get more info than that right now, i will if it's necessary)
Asus maximus IV gene-z/gen3
1 tb harddisk (however later this week i'll be adding my very first ssd to it
)1 blu-ray drive and one "normal" drive
one fancontroller
two intake fans and two exhaust fans (excluding the psu fan)
It's all in a NZXT h2 and the wiring inside it is shit. That's why i mentioned everything, so you guys can figure out that there's a damn lot of wires running around. I have 4 temperature sensors inside it and they don't really get higher than 35 degrees celsius max, usually around 31-33, except for the one i placed on my gpu, which reads 48.6 right now.
HWmonitor is reading roughly 90 degrees (maxed out at 96), but quickly drops to a semi-stable 60 degrees when i minimize hl2.
My CPU is stable around 36-37 degrees celsius, maxed out at 41.
I usually play with all graphics on high and 8x AA, but reducing this doesn't have any effect on the temperature.
I don't even know if these temperatures are that bad, but from what google tells me they are way too high.
I still have loads to learn about computers, so any help or advice will be appreciated and just let me know if you need some more details (some of you probably wants some more info on the psu, i'll get that later today).
Thanks in advance
