Dear seniors / sifus / mods ,

Is it normal if CPU temp reach 90-100C when play games?

I just play Crysis 3 and this is temperature I am getting :

This is my current setup:

I guess I will need a better cpu cooler since I am using AMD stock cooler.

Any suggestion which cpu cooler is the best ? Probably looking AIO with 240cm since my case is quite small now.  sweat.gif

Thanks in advance guys. icon_rolleyes.gif

No need AIO its not an 8core beast. Get IDC SE224XT/XTS / Jonsbo CR1400 cheap but good

I just bought this pc mid Dec. Will keep monitoring the temp first and if still in that range, will get it done at nearest PC shop. Tq for you suggestion bro.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Understood. I am using Tecware Infinity M2 case. Here is the picture.
My current case fan is the one come with Tecware Infinity M2 case. Probably will get those Artic Cooling fans too. Thank you for the suggestion bro. Appreciate it.  icon_rolleyes.gif

LOL Fish tank case no wonder your having high temps issue. The top fan I am guessing is outtake fans? In this case (pun intended) yeah you need to go AIO as tower coolers will also be hampered by zero air flow inside the case.

My new reco would be get a 240/280 AIO top mount blowing the air out. Then move the current top fans to the above PSU cover (just below GPU) to intake air from below.

Understood. Will look on this later on. Thank you for your suggestion.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Yea, I overlook on this case. If I know earlier, shouldn't get this case at the first place.
Alright, will get those cooler and the fans a.s.a.p
Thank you for your suggestion bro.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Indeed. Probably will change other case with better air flow later.  cry.gif
Indeed bro. I overlook on this pc case.
Understood, will get this done once I have settled all my work first. Thank you for your recommendation bro. Appreciate it.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Understood. I will update again once settle everything. Thank you for the suggestion bro.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thermalright Frozen Note AIO seem to have quite decent user feedback if you search the net. Arctic LF2 is bang for buck performance if you can afford its slightly higher price tag. But prolly changing to an airflow case will be even cheaper. Your choice.

TS PC is inside a fish tank case with bad airflow, a cheap air cooler likely will still throttle in such a case. Best is to have an AIO vent the heat out directly from PC.

Hi all. Finally, I managed to get these installed after 1 month+

+ Thermalright Aqua Elite 240 AIO
+ ARCTIC  P12 SlimPWM PST x 2 unit
+ ARCTIC MX-6T hermalpaste

Below is the comparison during playing Crysis3.

For the current setup, is that temperature range normal ?

And if anyone wonder, this is my current pc look like:

By the way, I would to thank all sifu/seniors for all the recommendations and suggestions provided.  thumbup.gif

I really appreciate it. TQVM & you guys are awesome.  thumbup.gif

Temps looks ok. I see for the same max CPU load at ~7xW, now your doing 20oC below what you before so it looks like your not thermal throttling at the same settings anymore. Thats good.

If normal for your case, just run your most demanding apps (typically games) and monitor the max load wattage vs max temps.

If really want to be sure, run Cinebench/Prime95 for 10-20 min run and see how far you can go (CPU watt) b4 thermal limit (or if it even hit it).

But really if your happy now its all that matters.

I can notice a significant drop in comparison to the previous setup.  biggrin.gif
I guess I should not worry about the temperature now.  rclxm9.gif

CPU issue is settled just that GPU still remain bcuz your case bad airflow but at 80oC maxed I wouldnt be too worried about it unless your running it constantly for AI or mining or work.

The added benefit is now you got more ARGB bling in your case to show off too.
