Hi guys!
Here's my dilemma, I've got an old CPU (Q9300) on a asus P5QL Pro mobo, and I recently upgraded my GPU from a 260gtx to a 560ti, which I know is severely bottlenecked by my CPU. Though, now I've noticed that it's been hitting above 70c, thereby shutting off my pc. Thus I upgraded from stock cooler to a Hyper TX3 Evo, and it is steady around 60c when in load, and 48-52c in idle. I've also added another cooler to the backside of the fins, thus pull and push. However, it is quite loud since the temperatures are quite high (Everything has been checked, new thermal grease, correctly seated etc.)
What I've been wondering, is if the Corsair H70 will be better at cooling my system, or this is basicly a result of bottlenecking and "disturbing" an old CPU?
