Basically it goes something like this when I start the game let's say with idle temp 36C then while I'm playing temp slowly rises to roughly 55C and then it decreased back to idle temp (game starts to lag at this point)

OR

I start game with idle temp 36C and the temp stays the same and game is lagging at all times.


My pc is relevantly new and I had no problems in the past even when my cpu was at 55C+, I just bought new thermal paste and it's still the same :(

EDIT: I think I just found the issue, my fan is kind of broken, I mean it runs at 3600rpm when it could run on nearly 7000 can't remember. I set to max speed and it's still quite and 3600rpm

coolermasters hyper 212 + or evo. both good, but if you plan on overclocking i'd look into a more substantial cooler, like noctuas if you want a quiter air solution or closed loop liquid coolers like krakens x61 or corsairs stuff. But if you're trying to get into entry level open water cooling look at swiftech, they have expandable aio open loop water cooling solutions. They do have a premium the cheapest 140mm cooler open loop aio is about 120-130. For that you could get a 240mm kraken. But it's expandable so if you add a 480mm or 360mm radiator you can if it can fit in your rig.

I just want the cheapest because I'm not really into money right now :( I guess that would be hyper 212 right ?
