I have a intergrated CPU and I ordered a Dedicated so my question is if I have a dedicated will it decrease the heat in my computer or at least on the CPU, The only fans I have are the one on the CPU and the one on the back of my case, is that enough or should I get more to cool it.

Depends on your temps. If they are good, I'd just leave it alone (aint broke don't fix it), if they are a bit high, start by cleaning out the inside of the computer with compressed air, NEVER use a vacuum. Focusing on the CPU and PSU (and GPU after you've had it for a while) mostly. You could try a additional case fan and see where that puts ya, but if temps are still high, then getting a better CPU cooler would be in order.

I think you can confusing CPU and GPU. I suggest running a free program called CPU-Z to find out what CPU, Motherboard(on "Mainboard" tab in CPU-Z) and GPU you have and post it here. Also, what is it that you ordered?

You can also run a free program called HWMonitor to watch your temps and depending on the model CPU you have, we sould tell you if it is running how.

If this is a OEM (i.e. Dell, HP), what is the Make and Model?

HWMonitor:

CPU-Z:

As far as temps, for an example, my CPU idles around 38c and around 55-62c under full load. 70c+ is a matter to be concerned about, 90c+ is horrid. Moving the load off of the iGPU will help in a couple ways, but yes, I think the temps should drop some. Moving off the iGPU will increase performance considerably as you are freeing up RAM bandwidth and moving to a very superior GPU.

Thanks man, I think your the only person who has truly helped. One more question, should I purchase another fan or two to keep it cool?
