Hey guys,

I just finished building my first system. The problem is that I'm overheating (I think that's the issue, system is shutting off on Far Cry 3 during graphic heavy cinematics)

Here is my system build and please let me know what I need to do to make this never ever ever ever happen again.


Mobo: ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z
CPU: AMD 8-CORE FX-8320 3.5G 8M
GPU: AMD Radeon 7970 3g
Memory: 8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - G.Skill Ripjaws X
Hardrive: 1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/
PSU: 650 Watt -- NZXT HALE82N-SI / 80+ Bronze
Cooling system: 3 fans, including what the cpu came with (I have a feeling this is my problem)

Thank you so much.
