i have vs650 corsair psu , and nzxt 230h, i know its not good for cooling , but with cm 212x on fx6300 i am getting 67C and 81C with my asus r9 280 dcuiitop for metro last light redux and battlefield 4

i am thinking to buy 2 jetflo fans , wil this fan be helpful ?
 
The graphics card is not dangerously hot, but still a bit on the high side.

The CPU however is way to high. You should be staying under 60C.

YOu will need to purchase a new aftermarket CPU cooler and maybe a fan or 2 for your chassis as well.

A CoolerMaster Hyper212 EVO is cheap and good.
Jetflo fans will do fine.

i already have cooler master hyper 212x which is better than evo , but stil i get so much heat with my case h230. In idle temp is of cpu and gpu is 35C both , temp reaches that high only while gaming . so u have any recommendations other than jetflo

Re install your Hyper 212x with some decent thermal paste like the Noctua NT-H1 its quite good for overclocking as the thermal paste will aid the transfer of the cpu to the heatsink very well. There should be some good guides on how to replace your thermal paste and make sure that you use the pea method which is put a small pea-shaped dot on the center of the cpu mount on the heatsink.
 


No 2 CPUs are exactly the same (even 2 FX6300), you are lucky.
