My pc has no graphics card just the integrated graphics on my intel cpu. I was wondering if I could use a small external fan that I have to help cool my pc because it is slightly overheating during gaming. I was wondering if this would be a good idea and if any of you have good idea where to put the fan.

That sounds about right for Devil's Canyon on a stock cooler. They run a bit hot but that's well within safe limits. Do you have case fans?

To really lower the CPU temps beyond what case fans can do you need an aftermarket CPU cooler.

If you have a decent case it should have both intake and exhaust ports for fans if not the fans themselves. Front, side and bottom fans are intake while top and rear fans should be exhaust. If anything try adding a case fan first.

Complete system specs and temps?
