What temperature can be anticipated for this hardware?
I really don’t want to try unless it’s absolutely necessary, since I’m a bit paranoid about technology.
I’m attempting to play RDR2 Online with this setup and aiming for 50fps (though nothing below that is realistic). The system has a 4790k 4-core CPU with HT disabled, 1050 Ti 4GB RAM, and runs on a 7200 hdd drive. The SSD doesn’t make much of a difference because it’s already using SATA3, so my plan is to boost the CPU power through the control panel settings and keep everything at Low or off except for texture quality, which I want set to High.
Is this achievable? What temperatures should I anticipate? I’ll be using MSI Afterburner at 56% fan speed. My main worry is that the GPU could hit 55°C or even 60°C, while the CPU appears stable.
Any suggestions, tips, or tricks would be appreciated! The case is open and dust-free most months.
Thanks.
55C/60C is typical for a GPU during operation. What were your expectations?
Why is HT disabled? You’re losing roughly 35% of your performance there. Turn it on right away. There’s no valid reason to disable it unless your CPU cooler isn’t powerful enough for the 4790k—then finding one should be your top concern.
It’s hard to predict exact temperatures since everyone has different environments and setups, even with identical hardware. We also don’t know your cooling system because you haven’t shared any details about it.
What CPU cooler are you using?
What case do you have?
How many fans do you have? Their placement and type (intake or exhaust) matter.
And honestly, what you’re proposing won’t make a noticeable impact. To boost performance, you should improve cooling capacity, overclock the CPU in BIOS, or upgrade your graphics card.
