Antony1953 Players 114 posts 24,868 battles Report post #1 Posted November 13, 2015 I have an i7 2.66 with stock cooler and when I switch to desk top during a game the cpu temp is around mid to high 80's, normal temp is around 50. The only other time it gets this hot is when I'm installing all the windows updates after a clean install of Windows 7 OS. Is this game very cpu intensive? My motherboard and gpu are all at normal temps. I'm planning on getting a better cooler so I can over clock it to around 3.2 and Intel say not to use the stock cooler when over clocking, but I wondered if these temps that I'm getting are normal with WoWS or maybe I have a problem brewing. No other game that I've tried causes these temps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gatt Players 509 posts Report post #3 Posted November 13, 2015 My 6 cores i7 980X 3.3Ghz (no OC) runs WoWS at 50-55 Celsius. Stock cooler. Your temperatures seem high. On my PC WoWS dont seem CPU intensive, rather GPU intensive (I use a Sapphire 7950). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I think I'll invest in a better cooler quickly before the cpu melts its way back to China. Edited November 13, 2015 by Antony1953 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a good number of large fans and its only a foot off the floor in a cool room and all other temps stay low, its just the cpu that has this problem but it has the cheap cooler that came with it. Judging by everyone else's comments its just me that has temp probs, so I'd better get on to Amazon asap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funnily enough while I was looking into it I saw that raijintek do one for about £63 which out performs corsair H100i, twin 140mm fans on a heatsink... Funny as hell... Huge as hell too lol....

IJNcv Players 8 posts 299 battles Report post #21 Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) x 5650 @ 4.4 ghz .. temp depends.. 45-48 with the corsair h100i i5 2500k @ 4.8 ghz is at 60ish when i play wows .. but the airflow isn´t realy that good. Intel chips can take some heat.. but it depends how you did check the temps... you used coretemp ? if you want to test your system use "prime95" with "coretemp" and check the temp non stop.. coretemp @ 80-85 is safe.. 90ish will be safe too.. but well.. you know the lifespan...

LooneyBin Beta Tester 354 posts 1,037 battles Report post #23 Posted November 15, 2015 Never seen my A10 7800 over 60-65 degrees (fans at <40% load at that point), using stock fans. Considering messing a bit with my fans, for them to go faster to get a lower overall temp on my gpu/cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VonKafe Beta Tester 17 posts 1,466 battles Report post #24 Posted November 15, 2015 80 °C on desktop is way too much. Even the Pentium D back then didn't go over 60 with stock cooler. If I were you I would check temps on other components, most likely you need to improve airflow in your case. On the other hand laptop CPUs go as high as 95 – 100 °C.
