Hey all, I posted another thread after upgrading my graphics card and a user helped me out in there and we discovered my CPU is overheating pretty badly. It's an i5-3350p 3.1ghz. LGA1155 69W. It hovers around 55-60 Celsius just with web browsers open and what not and if I open any game like League of Legends or World of Warcraft it slowly climbs all the way up to 105 Celsius in which case the FPS drops so low they are virtually unplayable.
I'm not super tech savy but I can build my own comps and install my own parts so I'm looking to replace the intel cpu cooler/heatsink with something aftermarket to see if that will cool it down.
My mobo is a ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 Mobo that uses socket 1155. I'm not sure about cpu coolers and what not if they fit all mobos or if I have to find one that fits my particular mother board so I'm just looking for some help with that.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
Thank you.
