hey guys,

just wondering how accurate afterburner is, because my temps seem very low at idle and under load (CS GO) for my new CoolerMaster 110 case?? :confused:

Sounds about right. I would be more concerned if the GPU was getting too hot instead of not hot enough...nothing to fret about!
 
right..another issue guys :mad:

when leaving me PC idling i have come back and the temps have peaked at 65c and the fan has spooled up now and brought it back down to 50c ish..

is this ok, im assuming with the limited space on the CoolerMaster 110 case and my heating on at full blast is not helping much..

so basically what is the safe temp limit for this i5 4670K chip with is not OCed and i dont intend to in the near future anyway..#



cheers guys, RTJ
 
Are you using stock cooling, or something aftermarket?

Either way 65C is perfectly safe and no cause for concern really. It's a bit warm for stock speeds, but if you only have stock cooling for example then it's to be expected.

When you say you left your PC idling, after 2-3 minutes of being idle windows starts doing background tasks that it doesn't want to do while your active using the PC. These tend to use quite a bit of CPU time when they run (which is why it doesn't do them while the PC is in use!) so the reality is your 'idle' PC has likely been very busy while you been away from it, explaining why the temps have spiked up.

Hey Dark,

yes, its a stock cooler that came with the processor.

Ahh..i wondered when i came back to check that my CPU usage rose up a lower value..i didnt realise that background activity was present when you left for a bit..

And I checked to see the Celsius limit for this chip is 100c so i think i should be ok from that for a while lol
