Hi guys, i have bought battlefield 1 yesterday and I’m really worried about CPU temperatures. I have a I7 7700 cpu and a pc case with two upper fans and two front fans. I have this cpu cooler "ARCTIC Freezer XTREME Rev. 2 " and my average temperatures are 70°. Should my temperatures be lower? or they are normal?
Yep bf1 is particularly brutal on cpu temp bf1 runs at 61c on my aio watercooled cpu nearly 20 c higher than I’ve ever seen my cpu run. bf4 only got to 45 c . From what I’ve read 7700k also runs quite hot as standard .until you reach 90c I wouldn’t worry to much .
This game is insane. I havea 280mm radiator and my temps still reach 68-70 degrees while playing Battlefield. To give you a perspective, running prime95 my temps max out at 70 degrees. All other games my temp is around 60-63 degrees.
If you clean your PC out with compressed air this removes dust from the heat sync and other places which will help reduce temps. Dust traps heat and a very dusty case will lead to much higher CPU temps.
To give a comparison my 1700 runs around 50c while playing BF1 on the stock AMD cooler, while my GPU is maxed out. The Newest Intel CPU’s do run very hot compared to previous ones.
Between 60-65 degrees C with an I7 5820k at
4.5 hz hooked up to an EKWB 360 predator AIO. My gpu is also on the same loop with similar Temps. Room temp is around 72 F
Is your temperature of 70° in C or F?
If you temp is 70°C your okay; however, for giggles, you could lower it a bit.
My i7-4790k @4.4 runs at about 50°c.
You won’t be in ‘trouble’ so to speak as your CPU will throttle to prevent damage to itself. You would have to look at ways to decrease temps to gain maximum performance in BF1, sure, but your temps are fine anyway.
Stop worrying start enjoying.
I get similar temps running prime95 and that punishes processors. Why do all other games run 10 degrees cooler? I just don’t understand this game. I have a i7 too.
Put one of ur fan at the back and one on top.Make sure u have negative flow actually negative pressure is better than positive pressure.
The way to do is put ur higher rev fans at the exhaust and lower rev to the front intake which will create a negative pressure inside the case.Cheers.
I think positive pressure ensures more dust to get in case since more intake power means more air will come in the case and the air will be stagnant and thus dust will settle whereas negative pressure will not let the air to get stagnant and dust will not settle.
Just do the testing yourself burn an incense stick and check ur air flow.
Well if your intake doesnt have dust filters you are obviously gonna have a bad time, but depending on the case you are gonna have even more “intakes” with negative pressure.
Actually it’s the other way around. Positive pressure - air pushes out from every crack of your case. Negative pressure - air and dust gets suck in from every crack of your case.
You will need dust filters in your case in any case though.
