If CPU getting hot is the issue then check your cooler install. There are no compatibility issues.

FX 4300 @ 25c is actually a low idle temperature. What's the temperature under load? If it stays below 50-55c that's good.

rolli59 :

ok, how do i do that?

rolli59 · Dec 8, 2015

Before you do that tell us what load temp you are getting.

during payday 2 it stays between 50 and 60. and the cpu fan is always blowing out hot air no matter if the cpu is at 30. do i just have a week fan, and how can i find out

Put a fan blowing onto the VRM heatsink. If you then still get 60C you need to replace your CPU cooler with a better one.

If your VRMs are not moving the heat off of them they can send heat back to the CPU and heat it up more.

rolli59 · Dec 8, 2015

60C is OK on the stock cooler. So what is the issue stuttering or just hot air coming out of the case which is just normal.

rolli59 :

ok, is there anyway to make it not heat up my room whenever i play a game?

rolli59 · Dec 8, 2015

No it will turn some of the power it uses into heat and whether your CPU is constantly at 50C or 60C it will be the same amount of heat that it will output into your room.

rolli59 :

ok, would putting another fan in there help with the heat coming ou?

choppalouie88 :

50C-60C for normal CPU gaming is fine

install water cooling instead of air colling, water cooling is less noise and cooler
but water cooling is usually used by overclocker

CountMike · Dec 9, 2015

Any decent aftermarket air cooler with 4 pipes and 120mm fan would do, much less noise too.
A secret to quiet cooling is to have a better cooler than actually needed to keep temps down.

rolli59 · Dec 9, 2015

choppalouie88 :

It will be the same heat coming out in joule it will only flow faster at slightly lower temp. Better fans and airflow will though reduce the temperature of the components.

choppalouie88 · Dec 11, 2015

CountMike :

any specific brand that you would recommend?

CountMike · Dec 11, 2015

That could depend on your locale and what you can easily get but that Cooler Master 212 evo seems to be most popular. I personally like Scythe products.

rolli59 · Dec 11, 2015

New CPU cooler may lower CPU temp but you will get the same heat output from the computer into the room it is in.

CountMike · Dec 11, 2015

rolli59 :

That could come handy in the winter but the goal is to cool processor not warm up the room.

rolli59 · Dec 11, 2015

CountMike :

From OP's post when I asked him what the problem was since his CPU is only 60C on load which is fine!
"ok, is there anyway to make it not heat up my room whenever i play a game?"

rolli59 :

so then, im just curious. ive been over to friends of mine house, and when they run their computer, the room doesnt heat up immensely. is this just somethign i cant fix?

rolli59 · Dec 13, 2015

No you can not fix it without ventilating the room! Leave the door open and it will dissipate out through out the house. Whichever CPU cooler you have your components will dissipate the same energy and heat up your room.

choppalouie88 · Dec 14, 2015

rolli59 :

and the same for any loud noises coming form cpu right?

rolli59 · Dec 14, 2015

Now a aftermarket cooler has a bigger and slower fan and will be more quiet than stock cooler.

ok, thanks man
