Hi.I use HWiNFO64 + Msi afterburner. I know there are others software for temeprature, but HWiNFO is useful becouse (with MSI On Screen Display) I can see temperature while i'm playing. I compared HWiNFO values with GPUz, meters gadgets and others, and i can confirm that HWiNFO64 reports good values.
I use msi afterburner for select the speed of GPU fan, becouse I think the factory setting is not good. For example, playing far cry 3 (directx 11, full hd, high details (not ultra) ), GPU temperature was 80 C degrees. Now, with my setting, the fan of nvidia is more noisy, but the temperature is 66 C degrees.
About CPU, in Alienware command center, i can use a custom setting for cpu's fan, but now i'm using the automatic setting(raccomanded). Playing farcry3, the MAX (of the MAX of 4 cores temperature) of i7 3820 is about 58-60 C.
In Thermal Control (Alienware command center), all the 3 sensors (in IDLE) stay on 26 C degees.So:
1) What is a dangerous temperature for GTX 680?
2) and for CPU i7 3820? is 60 C a good temperature?
3) a little more noise is not a problem, so can you suggest me a Thermal Control custom configuration?
4) in Thermal Control, what is the fan of CPU?is the PCI fan(1485 rpm in the image)?
