Hi, This is my first post here, I hope I have posted it in the right spot. I recently built a new PC over the last few months, acquiring parts as I get the money.
My build is as follows:
ASUS Z87-PRO
i7-4790K
GeForce GTX 770 2GB
Corsair Carbide 300R
WD 1TB Hard Drive
Corsair TX 650w
2x2GB GSkillz Ripjaw RAM
I also have a 240GB SSD (Crucial M500) but i have not installed it yet as I still need a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter.
Basically, when I'm playing certain games, the cpu temp sometimes reaches over 80 degrees Celsius, and the computer has crashed a few times because of it. All I have installed are the 2 fans that came with the case, and I am wondering what I can do to lower the cpu temp, not only to prevent further overheating, but also to protect my new hardware.
I've thought about some Cougar Fans (These) but I have read in a few places that replacing the case fans barely reduces temperature. My case says it has room for 4 fans, should I maybe just buy two more and that will fix it?
I've also thought about liquid cooling, but it would be my first time, and of course it would be a lot more money to invest.
Thank you in advance for any answers.
