CPU and GPU temps 81C (solved)

[erdogan18]

Is this normal? Any tips on reducing temps?
EDIT: Reduced CPU temperatures by 14 degrees celsius and GPU temperatures by 7 degrees celsius. Thank you for the fan header idea.

Specs?

And how long of a CPU + GPU load test did you run?

What did you test with?

[erdogan18]

Also the fan closest to the back iintake never spins, even at the highest temperatures.

Then it's most likely broken and needs to replaced.
Anyway, are those temperatures while idle or under load?

Motherboard: Z97 extreme 6/3.1
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB STRIX OC (3 fans)
CPU: I5-4690 @3.5GHZ
RAM: 16GB DDR3
SSD: Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD
SOUND CARD: Sound blaster Z

I ran a multiplayer server while playing simultaniously, GPU load 100%, CPU load 60-90% for 8 hours. I checked temperatures using HWinfo64.

Idle temperatures are 45C max

Intake? Rear & Top should be Hot Air Exhaust, not intake... not unless you're doing liquid cooling and need airflow in a certain spot.

Intake should be in the Front.

I have fans, not liquid. By intake i mean the hole in the back of the computer, where you plug monitor in and stuff. The fan closest to this hole never spins.

Idle should be room temp
Max for GTX 10xx is 85*C


4th Gen Intel is very old now, yes replace any dying fans.
Remove the sides and take the Tower to a safe spot to do so and blow out ALL the Dust.

I am very uncomfortable removing and adding components from/to my computer, I had a meltdown installing my new GPU.

You mean Case fan, or one of the fans on the NVIDIA GPU?

No fan should be "still" when the system is under higher loads.
Turn the system off and check to see if the fan is locked up, by turning it by hand.
If you have any issues turning it with a single finger, yea it's locked up and needs replacing.

We can't do it for you, either you need to do it, or get someone to help you.
If the CPU or GPU continues to peak past 85*C, STOP running that PC until you get it cleaned out and fixed.

It is the case's fan i believe. It is not locked up. Just never spins.

Ok, check that it is plugged in perhaps. This is routine stuff, always check it, which you should be doing every few months when you clean out all the dust.

If that fan is plugged in correctly and still does not spin, try a different fan header.
As it is possible for fan header on Motherboard to go bad.

My vacuum cleaner is not strong enough to suck up the dust

The fan seems to be plugged in. Was unable to check the fan's end but it is securely attached to the motherboard.

Motherboard*
Not cpu

Never use a vacuum cleaner on PC stuff.
Take the PC Tower and have all the dust blown out properly.
You can use canned-air but you would go through an awful lot of those in order to clean a dirty PC desktop tower properly.

Ok so fan still not working? Unplug it and try a different fan header. Most Motherboards have at least 3 of them. But yea, wouldn't be surprising to have those fans up and start dying if they are as old as the Motherboard & CPU.

I think my motherboard only has two and one is already used up by the cpu's fan.

ASRock Z97 Extreme 6/3.1
has 5x fan headers

Try the fan plugged into the header in the lower-right corner (as shown below)
