Hello, sorry for this thread, I'm seriously in despair, please, someone help me, my problem is with my computer, I need to change from a custom air fan to a better air fan, problem is I don't know which one to use, which one fits on my cpu, on my motherboard and or my case? I don't know what to do...I searched and I'm confused even more!

My specs are :

CPU : Intel I-5 4570 3.2 Ghz
Ram : 8GB
Motherboard : ASRock Z87 Extreme 4 (CPUSocket) 26Co
GPU : NVidia GeForce 750 Ti
Samsung TV 1920x1080

All these are running on a Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

I made this computer one year ago, to be able to play Skyrim on Ultra+Mods, I know, I was stupid, eh? Anyway, I can't run A.C. unity even on low settings, it lags because my gpu is weak, I can't run Witcher III - obviously...I know - I can't run anything new, but that's not my problem, my problem lies on my air fan, it can't cool more my cpu, so everytime I play games the computer makes a little noise, and it gets hot, them temps are like 50-70C and I'm afraid about CPU's lifespan. I can't afford a new CPU if she dies, and I don't want her to die, not so fast at least. Please, is there any way to get a better air fan to protect her and hold her cooler? I beg of you, please...

Also, my case is a small GT Aero Cool model, it's a black with some red lights.

Please, don't recommend me a water cooling system, I don't trust it, I don't want it, yes, I know it does a slightly better job than an air fan, but still, I don't want it on my computer.

Sorry for the long post, please, someone tell me which air fan to get for this rig, I seriously need help...thanks for your time.
 
Solution
You only need to start worrying if the CPU temperature reaches 100C. At that point, the CPU will throttle its clock speed or shut the computer down to protect itself.

Certain games will push the CPU higher than others as games are either CPU-intensive or GPU-intensive. Typically, CPU-intensive games are top-down RPGs (such as Warcraft) because the large amount of NPCs are processed by the CPU.

For real? Sometimes when I play Tera, it goes up to 80C.........that's not safe, isn't it? I have closed everything manually on Tera ini file, so it's not about DoF or smth else. And why my CPU is getting so hot if that's "safe" ? I'm afraid it's dying.... :(

Also, when I play DMC4SE it gets a little hot, and every game I play it gets a little hot....but it's not hot when i'm not gaming. < - quick edit.

So...you think it's really ok? I'm still afraid, because I don't want my cpu to reduce her lifespan, but ok, thanks for your answer, I will try to be more careful. I was thinking of putting a better fan, but if that's the case... :/
