Hi thanks for read! So as you can tell from my title I have a Msi r9 290x 4gbd bf4 edition gpu coupled with a Nzxt craken adaptor with a corsair h55 and I set the radiator as my rear exhaust in my Nzxt h440 case with a noctua p14 fan pushing air through the front of the radiator so it goes through the rad and out the rear of the case. But when idle I hit tempts of 51-54c and when gaming it steadily climbs and withing about 30 minutes of playing bf4 on ultra it reaches 80-85c then eventual my screen goes black and my pc is still running but doesn't show on the screen which I assumed is what happens when it over heats. I was wondering since I bought this used what I can do to do to fix this. I have artic silver thermal paste but know if that will do anything. Also when I first got the cooler I could hear the water sloshing around and it gurgled for a good 15-30 seconds when I first started it up if that is any help. My case also consist of an amd 8320 that has a corsair h100 top mount with 2 cougar turbines pushing air through the radiator as exhaust as well with two 140mm fans in the front of the case as intake maxed out speeds. If that is any help as well. Any help is great appreciated! Thanks for reading I just can't stand it not being able to play games for more than 30-45 minutes with it over heating.

P.s I have a few cooler master fans 120nm cheapies, a few stock corsair cooler fans 120mm and one fan from my hyper evo 212 plus as well for extras Also I haven't oc'ed it or messed with the frequencies and I pluggeg in the fans and pump headers into
the gpu rad to the mobo

Well like I stated earlier it was ore owned so it didn't come with a stock cooler. And it seems everyone else is having luck with the h55 and krackin is there anything else I could do?

H440, I was thinking of slapping 2 silverstone fhb141 140mm fans in the front of this case for intake and one on my h55 to push as exhaust do you think this would help significantly

Lol yeah way over priced was just attracted to them cause of the static air pressure but the silver stoned as significantly less static pressure about 3.8 if I recall compared to the noctua 10.something
