Hi All,

Need your kind help here.

Bought a new computer 2 months back. Assembled at PC-Themes.

Used it to play a few mmos and the temp of my gpu always shoot up to quite high, like 80+ to 90+ , is this normal? and when i'm playing games like wow, the fan would become noisier. not sure if this is normal too. :(

another question would be my ssd is 128gb, but im left with 60+ gb now. how much free space would u all recommend? afraid that the amt of free space left would affect its performance as i was thinking of transferring my games from hdd to ssd.

gpu - powercolor 7950 3gb boost
casing - sharkoon t28 blue
cpu - i5-3470
ram - 8gb

Transferring your games from HDD to SDD?
If you're just installing into the SDD, it's alright.
If you're talking about setup files, just leave them at your storage side.

Everything is normal. An average temperature of the GPU when is at load should be between 75 to 90. Anything above that range its hot and might need to take note.

Yes the fan will go noisy if the GPU needs to cool itself. It is an auto feature if you install a program that comes with the GPU. The hotter it is the louder it gets. Of cause you can set it to manual and set the desired speed you want.

SSD performance when you install games in it it should not degrade that much as what you think. But if i were you i rather install games into my SSD and when it is completed i would either transfer it to HDD if i need to play in the future. Or delete it from my SSD if there is no need to play it in the future.
