I just tested TimeSpy and here are the results: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/92182463? GPU Average temperature: 65C CPU Average temperature: 59C Ambient Temperature: 21C I'm worried about those temperatures, running a bit too hot for my taste. The CPU is acceptable I guess but I would have preferred low 50s. GPU is hot... Idle temps are supposed to be fine, 31-33C on idle most of the time. I have only two fans, one front intake 120mm and one back exhaust, 120mm. Would adding a 2nd front fan make a difference? The case is a bit old, no mesh in the front.
These temperatures could be affected by something you're doing. Consider drilling a few holes at the front of the panel, removing it entirely—temperatures are normal as long as you're using the right cooler for both GPU and CPU.
Have you experimented with contemporary components? GPUs have consistently operated at 84°C over the past decade, maintaining that temperature reliably. A peak of 65°C is especially notable for a relatively warm processor such as the Vega 64, showcasing impressive efficiency. CPUs follow a similar trend—most models from the last ten years are built to function optimally around 80°C, with Coffee Lake capable of handling up to 100°C. While lower temperatures are preferable, boost technologies ensure performance stays close to these limits even with stock cooling solutions. Temperatures in the low 50s have remained unattainable for about ten years now. The era of consistently reaching mid-50°C at maximum hasn<|pad|>’s decision hasn’t occurred since over a decade, mainly because of the effects of Moore's Law slowing, the rising power needs of data centers, and the trade-off between performance and heat output as thermal density increases. These figures are quite favorable when considering current standards.
The temperatures are excellent for your GPU and CPU, nothing to worry about at all
