Hi! Recently I finished my first PC gaming rig. Here are the specs: 
ThermalMaster case
750 EVGA PSU
MSI GTX 760 OC ITX 3GB GDDR5 Graphics card
8GB Ballistix Sport RAM
2 Kingwin Red LED fans
AMD A10 8320 3.5 Ghz Black Edition Processor
Gigabyte USB 3.0 Motherboard
1.5 TB Green Caviar HDD (Boot drive for 8.1 and Linux)
160 GB VelociRaptor HDD (Boot drive for Windows 10 Tech. Preview.)
2 TB External WD My Passport HDD (Backup external HDD)
Windows 8.1
I have been noticing it has been running rather hot, and loud when I have been playing Elder Scrolls Online, especially for longer periods of time. I used MSI Afterburner and CPUID HWMonitor to assess the temperatures. Here's what I found:
75°C constant, maxed out at 82°C GPU
60°C CPU
36°C HDD (primary drive)
43°C HDD (Windows 10 Drive)
95% CPU 1 usage max
60 db noise production (Used a sound meter on my phone)
The fans clocked at these RPMs:
5400, 3942, 6192
The 5400 varied greatly, as I didn't see much, or really any change in the other 2 fan speeds.
Not sure what fans are being counted, I have a GPU fan, Processor fan, 2 extra Kingwin fans, and the fan in the PSU.
Is there a reason my computer is running so hot and loud? Is it a problem? If so, how can I solve it?
Is watercooling a viable option, and, if so, watercool the CPU, GPU, or both?
Thank you!!!
