Hello,

I have a PC, but I'm not sure about the temperatures.
I think it is so high when I play games, and I'm afraid that it will shorten the lifespan of my processor, VGA, motherboard, etc.
And I do not overclock my PC, just normal and default clock.

For Processor, I use stock HSF cooling fan from the Intel box.
For VGA, it is still stock fan, no addition for VGA Cooling Fan.
And Harddisk is the same.

For my CPU, I have :
one 12cm fan at back (Out)
one 8cm at front lower (In)
one 8cm (Up) and one 12 cm (Up) , I place them at bottom side to flow air to my HDD, because my casing does not support bottom fan, so I just place it.


and here is the temperatures :

Normal Temp :
Motherboard = 37-39 C
Processor = 52-54 C
VGA = 38-39 C
Harddisk = 36 - 39 C


Load Temp (Play Crysis 3, etc)
Motherboard = 50-55 C
Processor = 75-78 C
VGA = 70-75 C
Harddisk = 40-45 C



If I need a cooling fan for processor, which one should I buy ?
I have seen CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo, but I think it is not suitable for my casing, because my casing is Simbadda Sim-Q and its width just 16 cm. And the Hyper 212 Evo size is 16 cm. I cannot use this Cooling Fan (my casing is too small).

So, any other suggestions ?
Hope for your reply soon, Thanks...

yeah. your cpu temps are safe but hot. it looks like the problem is your CASE airflow not the cpu cooler. Your mb temps are rising 20C under load. frankly your mb temps should never be more then 5-10C over ambient (if you have proper case airflow)

looking at the case online, it looks like it has very limited airflow, with a solid top and almost no vents. you're going to have to explore options to improve the airflow within the case, perhaps adding fans in the case to aid the airflow and evacuate the hot air. a new cpu cooler won't really work since the issue is the air inside the case is superheating your system.
