So my cpu gets extremely warm when i play demanding games like metro 2033, and i then get frame drops when i reach about 60 degrees on the cpu. (i have made a post before regarding this and everybody sais it is most lickely to be the cpu that gets to warm).
So my question is should i buy the Noctua nf-f12 for the cpu heatsink (which is a hyper 212 evo, and my cpu is a fx-8320), or should i buy an nf-s12 for the heatsink...? as i've heard that the f12 is mostly designed for use in radiators.
and my other question is should i buy two nf-s12 or two p12 for use in my case? one exhaust (top) and one intake (front). My case is a bitfenix shinobi, which has two fans preinstalled (one exhaust and one intake).
I am unsure of what models i want to buy in the noctua collection, (i dont really want advice on getting other fan models by other companies.)
and should i spend a little extra on getting one fan in the side by the gpu, althought the temperature of the gpu was relatively cool, 50 degrees max on full load GPU.

Many thanks!

For CPU cooler buy either http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608018 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608041 both are much better than 212 EVO which does a good job too but let's be honest it's a budget cooler
For Case Cooling i suggest http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608004 i have 2 of these myself, rear + top, moves so much air and are deadly silent

don't bother with side fans if your GPU temps are 50 degrees under load, won't make a difference

seeing you say your CPU runs extremely hot i can recommend http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186038 it's one of the best thermal paste on the market and it will lower your CPU's temp by a lot!! i...
