My son has an ibuypower with intel i5 standard cooler installed, no clue of the motherboard as I think it is generic maybe? The room is super hot, and the card/s are now starting to go.
How do I figure out what cooler to put in the system? never taken this system apart. I know it has the stock i5 cooler on it.
As far as graphics cards it is running on 2 Zotac GeForce GTX 275 cards so it is reasonable the cards are almost dead. What card would you all rec in the $150-$175 price range? Is this price range even possible for him to continue gaming? He plays stuff like league of legends etc. Also, would you change both or can I just change 1?
Obviously I have never built a computer, but been watching a lot of videos (going to build my own soon), but figured I would attempt changing out my son's stuff and see how that goes.
