Hi guys, sorry to be such a pain in the arse, as you know I am a "old man" in the gaming era, but like to play occasionally and then I don't want to sukkel.

My rig is as follow:

i76700 cpu
16gb ddr4 ram
MSI Gaming X 1080 ti
SSD Drives and a 2K G-sinc display 165hz
Cooler Master Case, quite big, I think they call it a gaming case.

In the case I have 2 fans on the top, 1 in the front(Bottom) and 1 in the back (Top) I have a 1000 watt modular PSU at the bottom. My concern is my fan on the CPU is a stock fan? For my kind off gaming say two hours a week max do you think I must upgrade my CPU cooling to a cosair watercooling unit? I was looking at the H80i V2.

I am honest with you guys, I didn't do a temp test, not quite familiar with that stuff, but what I can say is that if I play Forza Horizon 3 all on Ultra in 2k mode my GPU fans seldom works.

Thanks in advance and sorry for all the NOOB questions.

If you are not ocing and your current temps are normal it should be fine, however from my perspective a non stock air cooler is always a must at least and are not that expensive, for your Rig Water cooling would be nice but its not required.

I use this to Monitor all my Temps etc..

If you're not overclocking (and you couldn't really since it's not a K cpu) then you'll be fine with the stock cooler.
