Hello, sorry if i incorrectly lay this out or put this in the wrong section, i recently made an account and have already looked at other answers to the question im about to ask.
My AMD A8-5600k cpu is running very hot, i have a Fractal Design Core 1000 case (im using the default 120mm fan for air intake) a Gelid Silent 9 for the expulsion of air from the rear of the case (92mm) and a Corsair 120mm AF120 (currently disconnected due to waiting for an adaptor to power it)
My Cpu fan that im currently using is a Noctua NH-L9a to cool my CPU, i also have 2x4gb of ram, and a Radeon HD 7700 Ghost thermal GFX card and a Gigabyte GA-F2A55M-HD2 FM2 Micro ATX Mobo. Finally my PSU is a Corsair Builder Series 80+ Bronze CMPSU-430CXV2UK 430W
When checking my BIOS today i saw a CPU temperature of 53.0°C, and a System temperature of 33.0°C. I regularly check CPUID HWMonitor and that produces an idle temperature of 60-75°C, and usually when running borderlands 2 on high 1600 x 900 at 60 fps HWmonitor yields an approximate range of 80 - 95°C.
I cleaned out my pc 2 days ago and reapplied thermal paste, etc and the Gelid fan is a new addition to my build. Now that i have a full(ish) system of airflow (in and out) i thought it may have made a larger difference than, however if any difference, only minor.
I was wondering if any of you who know more about computers than i do help me cool down my rig? as im worried about the temperatures its getting to (highest ever 97°C)
Thank You for reading
