Care and feeding of a gaming machine....
Not that I'm an expert...but here's some things I do with a desktop gaming box:
* Run Speedfan (free temp monitoring program). I have an alarm set for 70C for the GPU and CPU....anything above this I get a BEEP....then I consider shutting down.
I also run the online SMART test...get a 95...though my Power on count is higher than most...might be just a matter of time before the end... Drive never gets too warm that I know of.
* After I shut down the game...I give things time to get to baseline temps....down near 30C or so.
Pretty much run at highest settings...though recently I put the view distance to 80% and dropped the shadow from ultra to high....probably gives a little more stable frame rate.
If I were running a gaming laptop...I'd have it sitting on a laptop cooler for sure.
Running an I5-2500 CPU...8 G memory...GTX 960...Win7...CoolerMaster
Would appreciate any other ideas or decent progs to run.....
I know nutting....
