Hello there!
I have bought my new customized 'gaming' pc and received it recently.
It runs BF3 maxed out smoothly.
But, i have a problem. It overheats.
this is my rig:
AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB graphics card
FX-6300 processor
600Watt feeder
Artic Alpine Pro 64 cooler and stock fan cooling
MSI 970A-G43 motherboard
8GB 1600Mhz Kingston RAM
Yes, it has been quite warm lately sinds it is summer.
But i am noticing that i am dropping frames after a match of BF3.
I'd have to restart my pc to let it cool down.

Sorry that i didn't show everything in both sides.
The left side is the overheating one and the right side is whilst idling.
I am worried about damaging my desktop.
Please help?
Is it about my Processor, graphics card or what?

Kind regards, Floyd

Cooler Master shows the case only comes with a front intake fan. Have you added any other fans? If not you should install an exhaust fan at the rear, the 120mm would be best. This would help to bring all your temps down to a reasonable level.

Without a picture its difficult to comment, Could be that the case is too small and you are getting no circulation of air. Could be you need some extra fans.
The easiest quick fix is ti simply take the side off and direct a desktop fan into the case.

If the 'sides' of the pc (as you put it) are heating up to the point it is affecting performance, you really need to get in contact with the system builder and ask for a resolution.
To be honest, I would want nothing less than my money back for the returned hardware ; If all is as it looks they have obviously built that machine without enough experience. Call it a 'Fail' ? Speak loudly about a resolution before you mess about with it as they will declare it your fault. You would do well to post the supplier on here, and even better to threaten to.

i have the Artic Alpine Pro 64 fan and the stock cooler fan. The Artic Alpine one is for my processor and the other one, no idea.
I use the program HWMonitor, and about the left one and the right one is from the picture but the link disappeared. Sorry.

That would help cool your CPU but you need an exhaust fan at the back of your case. The heat is building up in your case because there is no way for the heat to escape. If you put an exhaust fan at the back it draws the cool air from you front intake fan thru your case pulling the hot air produced from your components out the back. This cools everything in your computer.

Not knowing the netherlands I would say any computer store or where you got the computer. If you have an IT person where you work they should know a local supplier.
