Yeah, don't worry, your house temps effect temperatures just as much etc . Seems under load it's fine, and don't forget, Real Bench pushes everything to the limits using real world applications.
Synthetic benches push it even harder but nothing actually a stresses it that much for gamers .
And when running stress tests, your GPU/CPU is at max so mouse and keyboard lag , due to cpu trying to process that and other tasks whilst being maxed out
There's a feature in BIOS, normally turn it off when overclocking but since you haven't yet, try enable and disabling it to see how idle and stress temps look
Again, if your power settings in windows options is to max performance, CPU will run a bit hotter for basic tasks and draw a little more power

its small , very small but has flaws - one being the price £160+ - air flow is great due to 2 fans at the bottom pushing at to the top .
The glass is to dark! System with lighting on the block , strips and board- still very very dark
custom water is pretty much a no go - had to use £20 fans in this one to make sure fans were at 80% but quiet
UMX5 addresses some issues but issues but looks really bad!
UMX still may fave case but lacks VR ease

Haha, I started to do a few client builds and then just getting everything sorted and fatherhood kicks in and side business dreams go on hold ! Hahaha
Tried out VR yet ?
Yes mate, Ive only played robo recall, minecraft and Google earth and VR is very impressive.
I did have a PSVR but it was set up on the main tv and that meant it didn't get used very often.
We booked a holiday in Mexico today and I went on Google Earth VR and was able to stand next to pool and go up and down the beach, even the misses was impressed
I downloaded the Aorus engine but there's no sync option for LED from I could see?
My mouse and Keyboard seem quite laggy even when I have nothing running? When I was typing the post above I was trying to delete some text but it just wasn't working, then all of a sudden it would kick in a delete loads? Any idea what could be causing this?

@leeince in the graphics engine, click on the motherboard icon, the pick a colour and there will be another tab to click which reads, 'sync to all components' or something like that. If you've got no option to click on the mobo then uninstall and reinstall, it did it to me, like orbital says...not the best piece of software but it does definitely enable LED syncing... https://imgur.com/mpg9L60
Hi Mate,
I dont have a motherboard icon? Only the graphics card icon labled VGA?
Also the a tab in the quarter wheel in the bottom right hand corner that ha s a fan icon, mine is set to "passive fan" or I can set it to "Active fan" is this for the fans in the GPU? If so, should I set it to Active?

Do you have a aorus mobo? If not, that might be why you dont see a mobo LED option but im new to this PC thing too. On mine i have both GPU and mobo options but im using all gigabyte aorus...
Yes set to active fan, stops fans running when not needed

Evening Gentlemen,
Just a little update for you. My problem in the division where pushing the map button on the controller was shutting down the pc also moved on to pushing "M" on the keyboard also shut down the PC. I think ive solved the issue, changing compatibility to windows 7 from windows 8 in properties seems to have solved it
Also my CPU temp while playing the game are between 55 and 62c, does this sound right, I have everything on max, 1440p and the max hz for my monitor 75fps.
I also worked out what was going on with my mouse and keyboard, it was only playing up when I had the controller plugged into a USB port so there must be some sort of interference!
I've joined Origin Access and I'm currently downloading Battlefield 1 and a few others.
Enjoying it all so far, I will be a lot happier once I've worked my way through all the little bugs, I was warned that PC gaming has its challenges
One last thing, when loading the division its quite slow to load, what can I do to speed it up, I didn't think at my spec I would any issues with load times?
Chat soon lads!!

Good to here some problems solved !
And those temps are fine ! Close to 60c the better and anything under 90c will do hahaha
Just as long as it doesn't sound like a jet engine .
Try Upscaling games to 4K and see how you get on. Games like battlefield have the option in the games menu, were you select your monitors resolution is, and what resolution you want to play at. Wouldn't say do this for every title but for older games is nice

Does that then super sample the image down, like the Xbox one X does if used om a 1080p tv? Ill give it ago tomorrow, Battlefield is almost downloaded!
@orbitalwalsh
Battlefield 1 wont load?
Thats one of the menu screens i get, i dont know if that looks right but it looks to basic for me, like somethings are missing.
Then when i select campaign from there i just get a spinning circle in the top right corner but nothing happens?
Any ideas?

Chaps I just looked online and that menu screen should be populated with pictures? Something not right!
Load times don't seem very quick on the division either, do you think I've got something set up wrong somewhere?
The xbox One X is a lot easier lads I've got to be honest

I tried running BF1 as Admin and that sorted out the menu screen but the game still wont load, just the spinning screen.
I then tried changing both Origin and BF1 to Admin in compatibility and Ive now lost the pictures on the menu screen again and the game still wont load?
I'm starting think this was a bad idea and a waste of money, everything I try to do with the pc has issues! I was warned about this but had no idea it was this bad!!
