  • 1000w Corsair  Power supply (Dual/tri/quad SLI compatible)
  • Vid card : 1x ATI Radeon HD 5870 1 GB (Back then I was going to get the 470, but i think everyone including DST4Me told me to get this card instead)

As long as load temps are under 85c you are good.

those are some good temps IMHO.

but, you are running games and looking at cpu temps, run HWMonitor and look at your gpu temps since playing games most times will stress the gpus and not cpu much.

Hi,

My room is somewhat hot, but i can't say how hot it is (as in degree), but it's fairly warm....if you sit there and start gaming you WILL sweat.

What are you all on about? You're barely even hitting 70°C with a 930 at 3.9GHz in a hot room. Your temps are flippin great, stop freaking out, it isn't even remotely close to running hot. Geeze.

Like I said, till you see above 85c, there is nothing to think about.
