Hello,i have problem with my overheating amd build.
PSU:Forton 800w
Mobo:Gigabyte GA-990xa ud-3 REV3
CPU:AMD FX 8350 4 ghz 8 cores
RAM: 4X8 Kingston HyperX Blu
GPU:Amd Sapphire HD 7970 6GB Vapor X Ghz Edition
OS:Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

So this system is overheating pretty bad after 15 min play on crysis 3.
Under load,i get 51C mobo temp,70-75 cpu temp,75-80 gpu temp,75 north bridge temp,i posted elsewhere before,i got solutions there but,not sure of any of them,my gpu and cooler tower are at a 1-2 sm distance and heateachother alot,i got a CM HYPER 412S on the cpu,i indle i get good temps.Dunno what to do.Maybe have bad air current.

Try this to check air flow and rest: cpuid hw monitor (google it)

What about ambient temp? i know that its summer now and in mi room i could get 32C. In the summer (considering that i dont have air con) i remove the side pannels of the case

Don't remove the side panels. this will only worsen the matter, as it will reject the pc fan flow and allow dust to settle in which is indeed one of the problems for overheating. Clean your pc. dont' remove side panels. Keep it in a place where air flow can be persistent. Don't keep it under some desk or where it is closed from the back. And if possible, buy a new cooling fan for your pc

Well,yeah it's summer here too,i get like 30c+ in my room too,i got like an 120mm fan in front to give in cool air,i got an 120mm fan on the side panel to add in cool air too,it is place a bit under the gpu,and on the back right behind the CM tower i have fan to take out hot air,the north bridge is between the cpu tower and the gpu,and both are masive heat sources,will a simple airflow fix will get me the wanted temps ? under load the gpu goes to 75c and heats the cpu tower and the cpu hits 75 as well and north bridge hits 75c too and seems that my other components get the same C as the gpu,this is my first high end RIG and cooling it down is a mistery to me,and that is why i have doubts that an airflow adjust will fix my temps,i was also thinking if removing the cpu tower and putting watercooler and that means removing a huge heat source,and also adjusting the airflow,or there is a way just to fix this with airflow adjust,my box is Colorful Raynor,i got options to place 2 fans on side panel,2 fans on the top of the box too and 1 infront,which i have 1 there but the cold air from it mostly goes to my 3 hard drives.I don't know what to do,also AKAN my box is under a desk and the back is free no fence there,also on the sides and tops i got space for airflow.

The FX8350 needs aftermarket cooling under any conditions.It's a super hot chip.Those temps are normal , even with your cooler , the overall temp conditions keep it high.

Ok i understand,but it seems that i have an airflow problem,how to you reccomend to fix that ? or should i just buy a water cooler to eliminate the CM tower as a heat source and all finew ?

How many fans installed?


Well,1 on the back to take out jot air,1 infront to blow air in,and 1 on the lowerside pannel to give air in,but it doesnt change anything that one.
