High temperatures during GTA V. Suggest a cooler.

itspriyank · Apr 14, 2015

Hi my CPU temperature goes upto 70-75 C while playing GTA V. I live at place where summers are already soaring and temperature outside is around 35C. My table setup make CPU lie in a box which is not much airy.
So please suggest me if I should go for a CPU cooler or should try something else. Also my GPU temperature soars upto 67C.
I have been looking at 212X, is it good enough?

Thanks

H100i GT from corsair is a great cooler for the price

I have one of the versions below that new one and mine barely goes over 45 degrees.
It just connects to the CPU and then mount the radiator with fans to the top or wherever you want it to be and it's done!

Hope this helps

Your GPU temps are under average and your CPU are about normal but needs to be lower

Get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and Arctic MX4 Paste and you'll bring your temps down by at least 15c

I have a 212 evo with my 6300 overclocked at 4.3ghz and it doesn't go over 48c ever

As far as H100i is considered I dont have much space in my table design to place it on top of my cabinet (HAF 912). Is H100i or 212 EVO more effective than 212x?

Shamar Holtz · Apr 14, 2015

There is no difference in performance form the 212 X and the EVO or the 212 +, They are all just newer versions of one but aren't actually better, you'll only notice a 2c difference between any of them, go with whatever is cheaper

Okay do you think I should be looking for a water cooler when I never OC?

Shamar Holtz · Apr 14, 2015

I m not a fan of water cooling, you wont see much of a difference in water cooling than you will with a fan cooler, at least not for the price, water cooling is quite overpriced when the performance isn't to much better.

This is my opinion, some other ppl may be able to speak better on it

Shamar Holtz :

Thanks, so should I go with stock fans or add/change something?

Shamar Holtz · Apr 14, 2015

itspriyank :

I had an extra fan in my case so i added it to my 212 EVO, it isn't necessary at all but i just did it anyway.

You won't need to change anything

I have read that this cooler blocks the RAM slot on ATX MoBo (mine P8Z77 M Pro) and puts a lot of weight on MoBo being quite heavy. And what should I do for my HD 7970 temps?

Shamar Holtz · Apr 14, 2015

On my mATX board it does block 1 RAM slot but is no biggy for me. It is not heavy and doesn't way down the board, that can't be possible because boards are screwed onto the case

You GPU temperature is fine, the max for a GPU is 90c and the absolute maximum is 100c which will damage a card

itspriyank · Apr 14, 2015

Thanks for all the help along the way. I will go to market and get a new 212X in few hours and post the the results later and select the best answer.

Shamar Holtz :

Can you please suggest me which one is better in these three:

CM Hyper 212x VS Deepcool Lucifer VS Deepcool Neptwin

h60 is a good cheap one. put 2 corsair sp120 fans on the radiator, and you will get some great temps

Shamar Holtz · Apr 14, 2015

The Deepcool wins in most tests from about a difference of 3c-12c, The Lucifer is better

itspriyank · Apr 15, 2015

Can I use two fans with lucifier?

itspriyank · Apr 15, 2015

And how many memory slots it will cover on my ASUS P8Z77 M Pro with one and two fans?

itspriyank · Apr 15, 2015

Bump!

Shamar Holtz · Apr 15, 2015

It should cover one slot of RAM since you have an intel CPU, but it shouldn't cover any with only one fan, How many sticks of RAm do you use?

itspriyank · Apr 15, 2015

Can you please unmark the best answer?
I am using 2 X 8 GB G skill RipJaws

itspriyank · Apr 15, 2015

Also deepcool neptwin having twin towers heat sink, so wouldn't that be extra performing than lucifer?

Shamar Holtz · Apr 15, 2015

It is better but I didn't want to recommend it to you until I knew how much RAM and space you had for it since it is HUGE and I do not know if it will affect your RAM because it will cover all slot and do not know if your RAM is short enough

But in this picture your kind of RAM and the neptwin looks fine to fit http://s1186.photobucket.com/user/nexuz27/media/554968_551169794914893_1412659715_n_zps0cefc5a6.jpg.html

Shamar Holtz :

Sorry that was 2 X 4 GB RAM

itspriyank · Apr 15, 2015

So can you please tell me which should I go for between hyper 212x or Deepcool Neptwin or Deepcool Game Storm Lucifer? The one which cools the best and is bang for bucks.
Also as Deepcool versions already come with a thermal paste, do I need to buy the antec one?
