Hey!
I have built this ITX system with an i7 CPU and im getting some cooling issue.
Right now its playing MC and Crysis 1 running a CPU benchmark at the same time (Its a gaming ITX system) just fine, in CoreTemp it says its running at 82 degrees CPU temperature... Just with MC its running at 72.
Is this bad? I know its not a danger zone temperature but its not good none the less..
Specs:
i7 Ivy @ 3.4
12GB DDR 3 ram
GTX 670 1GB
Case: Lian Li TU 200
Should I be worried?
Thanks!
PS:
Long time no see xD

My CPU tops out at 63*c when I run CPU benchmarks I would check if the fan is speeding up when needed

Or set the fan to 100%

Dunno how to put this but the CPU was running at 100 percent at the time :/

Is that the 3770k CPU? They run hotter in general and are designed to! Don't worry... 80c under load is fine!

That's a lotta' machine for such a cool case!

I'd turn OFF the overclocking and run it stock AUTO and let it do its own turbo-boosting as it can. It'll manage its temps better that way, too.

i7 is heat-intensive, and you need to find a pure copper cooler, and a large-dimension fan (but it has to be quiet).
