Does anybody else have problems seeing those pictures?
I'm using Firefox and it won't load them at all.
Oh, working now, but FF is still whinging about the website.
No issues with FF here, on the latest 60.0.1, even with an ad blocker. DNS maybe?
The fans at the front are the ones blowing out. I did remove the front panel though because if everything is covered with glass, but with small gaps, it didn't make much sense to me.
I am a noob though, someone from work sold it me, and I needed a bigger case than my old one, was assured airflow etc was good. Now I have doubts.
I did consider this, and thought it might be a possible reason. Like I said last time I had this issue, it was when I cleaned my old pc out, put everything back together, and all of a sudden my gpu was too hot. Removed and put new paste on, and it did the trick. Didn't work this time thoughRight, you were running a i5-4460, whilst this isn't an ancient cpu its still quite slow and would frequently bottleneck even your 970, you've basically switched the bottleneck the other way around and now its the gpu (which it always should be).
That's why your getting higher temps. your new cpu is pushing the gpu as far as it can go now. A repaste with some good tim such as kryonaut will help.
Also make sure v-sync is enabled (unless you have it switched off for a reason)

Yes they are turning.Let me ask a basic question: are you sure your GPU fan is actually turning?
Right, when I'm home from work I'll switch them up. The more I think about it though, the more uneasy I feel. Normally there's a glass plate at the front, and on top. I removed the front one because I had doubts about air. I was assured airflow and everything was fine. The fans were positioned like this when I bought the case. The more I look and think about it, the more I believe this case is actually terrible for airflow.
There is a simple solution that everyone is missing to check for airflow problems, take the side panel off and see if it makes a difference.
55-65 in the same game? Since you have a new build I assume your running a new/clean version of Windows with all the latest drivers. It might be worth checking to see if the power limit has been increased in the drivers which will allow it to achieve highers clocks at the cost of pulling more power (which results in more heat).Yeah, I'm just worried because last week in my old build it wasn't like this, it was sitting at 55-65 most of the time, then possibly 70+ on something like battlefield. Now it's just 80-90 immediately after booting a game. With it having new and much better parts I wasn't sure if something else could cause it to get so hot.
I already asked him to do that and he said it made no difference.
Yeah, I was running WoW at about 60ish, maybe more depending on what's happening. But now even on character select screen it shoots to 80-90. Stand still and press a single ability and it spikes up. Was definitely not doing that before. And yeah, I have taken the side panel off and the temperature didn't decrease.55-65 in the same game?

Sorry did you quote the right person? I didn't say anything about taking the side panel off. Check the power limiter is at 0 or minimum in the driver's.Yeah, I was running WoW at about 60ish, maybe more depending on what's happening.
