CPU Cooler

Hi Guys

Just built the following and wanted to check with you about the temperatures,

When I run bf4 on ultra setting im getting the following temps and think there a little high and wanted to see check with you thats its not too hot and if I could do anything to improve them,

Asus Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II (70c)
AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 9590 Black Edition 4.70GHz with the corsair H80I cooler (61c)

I have 4 bitfenix 120mm fans installed and used artic silver 5 thermal paste as well.

Thanks

Doesn't strike me as particularly hot for a 9590.

I think I'd want a beefier cooler on a 9590 though, I presume you're looking to water cool it?

seems about right to me.

61 is pretty good as you are hammering it.
and my 290x would go higher than that before I water cooled it.

custom loops are the way forward my friend

Thanks for the reply's Ive never got into water cooling before so don't really know what to buy. Might be easier for me to take it somewhere and get them to do it ?

The H80i is ther first water cooled thing ive ever bought so was easy just to screw in, I think I might need a bigger case as I have this one at the moment.
