I'm worried, are these temps too high?

So I built a new gaming PC a few weeks ago, haven't really been able to test my PC up until now. I downloaded the Unreal Tournament Alpha, after 10-20minutes of playing I get these temps.

2792074



Is this normal?

If those are the temps while you are in game (i.e. under a load) then those are fine.

Your SSD and Hard Drive temps look a little on the high side but I guess that might just be case to case.

What happens when my SSD and HD gets high?

Nothing at those temps.

The slightly higher hdd temperature may indicate that your case temperature is higher than it might be but if your system is stable then I wouldn't be concerned.

All looks OK to me.

You may get a better overclock with lower temperatures but you would have to test it.

You sure the CPU temp should be that high? I thought it should always be low, when gaming? Really worried.

how is your fan setup? If it is a stock setup which means only 1x140mm at the front and 1x120mm at the rear then you could add another 140mm at the front. I would reduce the temp by a couple of degrees.

Sorry, I don't know how to explain it so I did a picture lol.

I wouldn't rely solely on Speccy to read your temps. They may me correct but its always worth using another program to confirm them - I've used OpenHardwareMonitor for a while now.
