My CPU temps idle around 45-50 degrees Celsius, and while playing games like CS:GO, League of Legends sits around 75 degrees Celsius all the way up to 89 degrees Celcius according to HWMonitor.

Recently my computer has been completely powering off completely (no blue screen, just straight to black). I've noticed this happens when My CPU temps get up to 85-90 C.

I've been reading forums with people having similar issues, and have found that my Cooling might not be on par with this CPU.

My specs:
CPU: AMD FX- 9370
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7900-6GB
Cooling: Corsair H55 Liquid Cooling
MOBO:Sabertooth 990fx 2.0
PSU: AZZA Titan 1000W - 80 plus bronze

Ok thanks for the reply, I've been looking into the Kraken x61 and the corsair H100i. The only issue i'm going to encounter is fitting the 240mm rad into my case. Might have to do an external mount, but Im not sure if the pipes are long enough.

Any idea why my computer would perform without issue for around 2 years then all the sudden this cooling isn't performing up to par.

Ok, Great. After a quick google search it seems that the D15 performs at equal levels if not better than the H100i in terms of performance. Would you agree?
