50C while gaming is a bit high IMHO maybe someone else will also chime in on that topic ?

I would say an active gamign temp would be more like under 45C

I would be shooting for an Orthos or Prime 95 stress test temp of 50C to maybe 55C

but not a gaming temp of 50C unless you really think the game is keeping your cpu @ 85% busy consistently; I doubt that ????

50C while gaming is not a dangerously hot temp but it doesnt leave much room left for further OC'ing IMHO ?????

how many case fans do you have / where are they located in the box and which direction does each fan move air ??
