helloo
i have a problem now
i instaled the nvidia gtx 560 Ti 2 G from msi *(with 2 Fan)
and i got the new power supply from gamma 600 wat
and its looks likes everything is okay no crashing no freezing just nothing
but...
i was playing battlefield 3 online
and everything looks great
but i noticed that that theres is a high sound from the fan of the preocessor
and i tryied to check the temp and i found the fowloing results during playing bf3 :

core1: 73 C some times reached the 75 C
core 2: 64 C
core 3 : 65 C
core 4 : 72 C

in normal time this is the result :
core 1:48 C
core 2 : 49 C
core 3: 48 C
core 4 : 46 C

my Q here : is that NORMAL ????
if not ?? so what i have to do?
any idea???
do i have to change the motherboard??
do i have to find a methof to cool dowen the processor ??????
i hope that i can find the answer

thanx

so is it so bad??
do i have to stop playing??

by the way i cant close may case wall because it reaches the 75 C
so i let it open for now for the ventilation
and its staple on 73 C

so if i get this cooler its will solve my problem???
another Q please... my case is from gama (the old one) does this cooler can get inside it??

thank you...
 
It won't destroy your CPU, but it will probably shorten its lifespan. Yes, the cooler should solve the problem, unless your case fan setup is bad.
What exactly is the model of your case? Can you put up a picture of your case/fan setup?

Do you have a front intake fan? What's the model of the case/does it have an opening on the top?
Here's what the fans should be doing:

If you don't have a front intake (big blue arrows), you need to get one. It'll probably be around $6. A CPU heatsink would definitely do wonders, too; I stand by the TX3.

i dont have anything in the top of the case and i cant insert a fan in the front to intake the air because there is no place for it

see the pic for demonstration:

and i got another ideas insted of that fan

i can get a larger fan in the back of the case to get the air out thats will be good too
see the pic

and may be i can insert another fan to intake the air in but in the side wall of the case
there is a place on it

see that pic

These are good ideas. You can buy a 120mm fan to replace the small fan on the rear. I can not estimate the size of the fan placement at the side but if the small fan fits to the side hole, then you can use it there but if it is 120mm then so much better (but in this case you need to buy 2x120mm fan but measure it first to make sure & do not rely on my estimation...). This should improve your overall system temp ( including the GPU ) a bit. But an aftermarket cooler is best solution for cool & quite processor operations.
