Safe temp?

[Andybtsn]

Hi guys,

I just got an Lian Li PC-A05NB case and in it I put my ATI 7870, I noticed it was running pretty hot idle with the side panel on (around 50oC) so I took the panel off for more cooling, it's now idling at:



That still still seems hot to me, under load it reached this:



Again this is with the side panel off, the case is obviously very small I have a Corsair H50 so cooling is quite difficult.

Should I be worried?

If a case cools better without the side on, it's time for a new case.

I would be more concerned with you motherboard temps, having a quick glance at that case design and the fact you have no CPU fan.

Temps sit at around 30-35 on the mobo. Might have to do some modifying of this case and get some fans installed.
