Over the past few days I've noticed fps lags, computer lag, and freezes mainly while playing games. I hadn't had this problem at until recently. After receiving knowledge from others on the board, it seems to be a heating issue. My temperatures seem very high, at the moment my temperatures are as follows:
GPU:44
Temp1: 92
Core 0: 91
Core 1: 92
Core 2: 88
All temperatures are C.
So at this point I guess I have to pick up a new case/cooling system to fix the issue, as my current case is a case I got with my computer about 4 years ago and it seems way too small to be able to fit multiple fans inside. At the moment, I don't have ANY designated fans to cool my system, just the fans that are built into their components (PSU, GPU, and processor)
My board is an ATX Micro, can anyone help me find a sufficient case/cooling system? I'd say my spending limits are near 100.
It looks like I have a spot on my back panel where I can put in a fan, but will one additional fan be nearly enough to keep my system cool?
Nope not really.= rear exhaust.
A case with good airflow will have the ability to mount at least 1x120mm front intakes.(2 is better)
1-2 top exhaust mounts.
1 rear exhaust.
And other mounting options.
So I ended up buying the cooler master 430 Elite, how many fans should I buy to go along with it? I'm guessing I should buy the two Blue LED types you recommended as well?
