    Are my temps normal?
    « on: June 19, 2013, 04:51:56 AM »
    Hi, i running a GTX 660 and an I5-3570k Intel processor. the GPU idles around 33-36 when im just on the internet or something but when i play a game like battlefield 3 it will jump to about 61-64 and progress until about 66-68, it never really passes that. My CPU does pretty much the same thing. I have lame little case but it has two fans and a lame little fan on the processor. Are these normal/safe temps or should i be worried?

    That sounds perfectly safe to me!

    The graphics (GTX 660 Ti) card is rated up to 97°C. But I would be a little concerned about the CPU if I were you. If I am reading this right the CPU has a limit of 67.4°C (although I may be reading this wrong). Don't worry about the CPU you are just about at the recommended limit for to achieve the CPU's advertised lifespan. Just make sure you stay below 110°C and nothing will melt. (Max.<90°C to be on the safe side)

    Well below maximum temperature.

    Your temperatures, as said above, are perfectly normal and completely as expected.  No problems there :)
