I have an i5 3570k processor, a HD 7950 AMD Radeon GPU and a Arctic Freezer 7 CPU Fan, in place a cooler master case. When I play high-end games such as Crysis 3 or Tomb Raider (New One) I find that the temperature escalates to up to 70-90 degrees and in some cases; the computer shuts it self off in order to prevent any damage from occuring. I though that the normal stock fans would handle this; so why not the Arctic Freeze 7? By the way this build is fairly new, and I can't see any dust collecting anywhere. Any tips? I've played around with the GPU fan but that doesn't help.. :/

WOW! These temps are real HOT!

Make sure you have properly applied the thermal compound, and your Arctic Freezer 7 is fixed correctly.

Also have a look at the bios, and see if anything is not normal within the CPU voltages - sometimes some mobos set higher voltage than it is neeed.

Pre-built by whom? Assumptions make an ass out of all of us :wahoo: If the CPU is heating up that much during gameplay, I'm assuming it was OC'ed to an unstable clock seeing as it's the unlocked version. We need some numbers before we can help you out.
