okay so i just upgraded my intel pentium to a i5 and its runs great but it overheats so much and i can hear the fans running so fast my computer shuts down due to a safety feature i have 4 fans total one on my cpu one on my case and one on my psu and one on my GPU but the case fan im using is stock with the lenovo i bought and have been upgrading over the past year and im about to buy a new case fan (92mm) do you guys think that will stop causing the problem or that my mobo just cant handle my i5 im not sure what mobo i have it was a stock lenovo one with a pentium that came in it i really really don't want to buy a new mobo as replacing it sucks and its $100+ for a new mobo and $20 for a solid case fan thoughts?

What kind of case is it? It looks like you don't have enough air flow. I wouldn't count the PSU or GPU fans, since they're not really directing air in the case. You need, at a minimum, one intake and one exhaust fan for the case. Also, I would suggest you get an aftermarket cooler for the CPU.

Post your specs.
