Hi there, recently my computer has been producing a constant beep while I've been playing Battlefield 3. I soon found after a bit of research and using a temperature monitor, that my PC was overheating very quickly only on Battlefield 3. As soon as I get into the game it goes very quickly to over 90c, I have had this PC for a good 5 months and it has only recently done this over the last week or two. My PC specs are:
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7870 OC Windforce 3X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Intel Core i5-3550 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail 1
Gigabyte Z77-HD3 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard 1
Corsair 2013 Edition Gamer Series GS 600W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020063-UK)1
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache WD10EZEX - OEM ** Single Platter ** HDD 1
Corsair Value 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMV8GX3M2A1333C9) 1
Cooler Master K380 Midi Tower Black Windowed Case - Black (RC-K380-KWN1) 1
OcUK 24x DVDąRW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM 1
I find that it seems only to be on Battlefield 3, as I tried Crysis 2 which from my own experience and from what others have said is a much more demanding game. I have after experiencing these problems applied arctic silver with no avail.
Earlier I did overclock my PC to 4.2 Ghz which I did earlier today
Is there anything I can do right now, or will I have to buy a larger fan and heatsink?
Thanks for any help
