CPU & MOBO & GPU all making strange leaps in temperature.

[rishkin]

My CPU idles at 36C, MOBO at 35C and Graphics at 60C

When I launch Battlefield 3, the temperatures all jump up to ~75C
When I close BF3, the temperatures some what quickly drop back down to idle.

75C seems a bit high but this is my first intel/nvidia build so I wasn't sure if its normal. Seeing as how there is plenty of air flow, the cables are managed well and all the components are seeing a dramatic increase in temperature I figured I'd ask all you experts before I started dissembling lol

Also I was planning on overclocking the CPU (which is why I have the p67 board) but now I'm not so sure...

Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 932
PSU: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Hybrid RS-850
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB
CPU: Intel Core i5-2550K Sandy Bridge

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 560

Nothing strange about higher temperatures when gaming, load temps are going to be a good bit above idles.

Can always edit the fan profile for the GPU, stock settings tend to prioritize low noise over low temps. And an aftermarket CPU cooler is a must for overclocking.

He said all of the temps jumped to ~75c....

I find that high for the mobo temp definitely....in line with vid cards....


OP...

Are you using stock cooler? That wouldn't be far off with the stock cooler....

The video crad temp seems in line as well....you could get a program and adjust the fan speed on the card but I wouldn't be too worried about that temp....
