Not every BIOS will look the same, especially when it comes to gaming motherboards, as OEMs often equip them with a unique GUI these days.

Now that the case fans are confirmed to be pushing at 100%, even though room ambient temp is up two degrees to 29, the max CPU temp (Tctl/Tdie) recorded is only 83.9 (down 6.7). But at the very least I might look at turning that rear-panel fan to be exhaust, since the normal exhaust path isn't working very well.ĮDIT: logged some more data from a 2nd gaming session (same game). There's also one 120mm fan drawing air in from the back to supply the CPU cooler with fresh air, because my GPU is fairly long (3-fan unit) and I don't think the CPU cooler gets much from the bottom fans. Right now I have two 120mm fans blowing air up from the bottom they take air in past a filter and supply it directly to GPU. The case definitely has airflow issues the cable management is in the exit path for that left side-panel grid, and even after being pretty careful to bundle and tuck the cables when I built it, there's clearly not a good open channel there. The case might have tad restricted front by just looking at pics. What kind of fan config are you running? PSU set to intake from case I assume. For now I'm going to collect more data with the fans definitely at max. So there must be another fan curve in BIOS that needs to be adjusted. Further digging indicates that the Command Center program only controls fan speeds while it's open. One problem I've noticed is that the system fans don't seem to be running at 100% even though I set them for it through MSI Command Center. (max GPU and SSD values in the whole session: 84, 66, and 59.) I don't think I have a good, independent measurement for case ambient temp, but the HDD reported 'drive airflow' of 48.

At that timestamp, GPU temp was 81 and my SSDs were 63 and 59. Tempered Glass at upper right (near drive cage, not GPU): 43 In a 3-hr gaming session, I measured some case temps with a thermal probe. It won't be much different even after you increase fan speeds. The TG warning is because GPUs heatpipes and some of the fins are close to it. Only if its hot to touch, like actually burming, it would be issue. Please just get thermometer and check the actual temps with that.

Extra bonus points if it's possible to cast realtime data to a phone or tablet so I can see temps and RPM in real time.

What Windows applications will do a good job of recording ambient temp, CPU temp, GPU temp, and all case or cooler fan RPM? Bonus points if they include fan RPM controls so I can try and work out hysteresis problems without having to reboot and mess with BIOS. Before I start thinking about other problems and solutions, I want to gather good baseline data.

I've already set the case fans to be at 100% RPM when the CPU temp is over 45° C. My whole case is really warm to the touch, which tells me it's not doing a very good job of moving fresh air in to replace hot air coming off the CPU and GPU coolers. I put together a new system recently and I think my air cooling needs improvement.
