Cooling help needed
Hello. I am Aric. A little while ago, I got into pc gaming, mostly because of my Aunt LadyHawk. So I bought this computer ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...140211063526:s). I still have stock case and cooling right now. I had put in a gpu (radeon hd 7870). Usually while playing games the CPU is around 70c+ while the gpu 64c+. Well today i put both of them up to the test with a light benchmark test. The CPU did horrible with temps around 80c constantly. the gpu maybe got up to 70. But the temps for the CPU passed the safety limit recommended for it. I don't have very much money, so i need your help to suggest a better cooling method (not water). if a case, it has to be under $75. Cable management is sucky right now. Please help me with this. I will consider all answers. Thank you

Dear, when it comes to CPU cooling using Air Cooler, I've always recommended the following options: -

1. Noctua NH-14D
2. Noctua NH-U14S
3. Cooler Master Evo 212 /Hyper
4. Cooler Master V8GTS

Suit yourself and in your budget is limited stick with CM Evo 212. For case you may consider Cooler Master HAF 912 case or NZXT H230. Cooler Master HAF series is designed to ensure High Air Flow so it is a very good option.

For the best coolers have a look at the:

Basic - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Advanced - Noctua NH- D14


Also have a look at the Fractel Design Core 3000 case, Pretty cheap and offers good cooling

yes it is. sorry it took a bit to respond. I went with your option of the HAF 912. The HS you mentioned can not be supported by motherboard. I want to thank you for your advice, take care.
