Show Us Your Temps

I always build my own PC. It just assures me that if anything goes wrong it's generally my fault :)

I'm well overdue for an upgrade though

Aside from a good argument for an upgradable custom build in general...........You must be taxing that build or maybe a serial upgrader looking for multiple d/GPU that's a hard one to shake (trust me going pack to the 90's ) but not so much now in my dotage (retired) just a little here and there like 3 decent new TV's up to 4K HDR here in my cave in 3 yrs and a legendary Samsung 64f8500 1080p Plasma out front I would love to see at 4K HDR .:)......

an OC Core i7-2600K @4200Mhz ain't no slouch at all ......we are gaming on a stock locked Core i7 2600 on air and it ain't usually geting taxed with a single GTX 970 d/GPU at 1080p Ultra

As for multiple GPUs I'm just not interested at all. I know a couple of guys running dual GTX 980s and all they ever do is whine about the problems they have with the lack of profiles etc.
Yes I used to be a serial upgrader but the only thing I've got recently was a EVGA 970 SC last Christmas. Thing is this system has been so good from day 1 that I've had very little interest in upgrading as it seems to take everything I throw at it :)

I may regret the above statement, likely as not my CPU or mobo will go down next week :)

Under a little stress:

My ambient temp is usually a little better than today, Cpu usually idles around 30*C with the cores averaging about 25*C. Hottest I've ever seen it gaming was about 65*C, and AIDA64 will get it to upper 60's. This is a modest overclock atm, 4.2Ghz at 1.15V, with the Gpu at stock voltage at 1359Mhz. Highest temps I ever see are about 65*C on the Cpu and 74*C on the Gpu. Btw this is with a H80i AIO cooler.

Edit: Here's a better example, this is after idling for ten minutes not doing anything at all.

Fall weather is helping me

Nice program CountMike

Yes, it has many features but it's not free. As I rarely restart or shut computer down, I keep this test version. Every time computer restarts I have to wait 5 seconds and than click on a number it tells me to, that's only difference from registered version.
