    Question My CPU is overheating (I think?) do I need a new cooler?

    Well, thanks everyone. Initial tests today (I completed the level in deathloop) shows the fan works now that everything is pointed the same way. Original Cooler (and also new cooler with fans not properly aligned) Temperature was 85-100 degrees and I'd either shut it down or the computer...

    Question My CPU is overheating (I think?) do I need a new cooler?

    That would definitely be helpful, is there a way to tell when looking at the fan itself which way it's going to blow? I would prefer to blow all the hot air out the rear compartment, so that's what I'll be doing, but I don't want to have to keep unplugging and redoing it until I get it right.

    Question My CPU is overheating (I think?) do I need a new cooler?

    New cooler did not help. Think I might have to take it into an actual repair shop at this point.

    Question My CPU is overheating (I think?) do I need a new cooler?

    That assassin is pretty cheap, will it really work well? $35 seems awfully cheap for a fix. Reviews seem to be good, and it says it's quiet. I guess I will give it a try. Looks like it should work with my setup according to PC part picker. Little nervous about removing a cooler and...

    Question My CPU is overheating (I think?) do I need a new cooler?

    I blow it out fairly regularly, so that's not the issue. Good thing to mention though. Pure TG is the name of hte case - it's a Xidax case, Tempered Glass on one side. If it's the cooler, that's fine that's a fix I can do.

    Question My CPU is overheating (I think?) do I need a new cooler?

    Hello All, I bought this computer from Xidax about 2 years ago, and about 4 months ago I started noticing overheating problems. When I play high-intensity games (Immortal: Fenyx Rising, Deathloop, etc.) the CPU temp skyrockets, averaging 90-95 degrees C, and redlining at 100 (does Core Temp...

    Question 2nd Monitor (DisplayPort) not working.

    Relevant Information: Worked normal yesterday (Primary and Secondary) - I came home and it had stopped working. On PC Startup, the 2nd monitor starts by showing the spinning circle, flashes back and it moves to the main monitor, and 2nd monitor never lights up again. Both monitors currently...

    Gaming Build/Help (Future SLI Possible?)

    My current computer would be enough to run the game. i7 2880 & dual 460's. That's not the point. And it's not the only game I'd play. While i appreciate the effort to save me money, I prefer to future proof as much as possible, and I dislike the thought of dropping from an i7 to an i5, even...

    Gaming Build/Help (Future SLI Possible?)

    Well with so many people saying it, I guess I'll go try and build one with the z97 and 980. Though I know nothing about overclocking so, either I'm going to have to learn or hopefully it won't sandbag me to much if I don't do that on the processor. Thanks!

    Gaming Build/Help (Future SLI Possible?)

    I'm hoping to build a new computer soon. Primarily for gaming. (FF14 Heavensward is around the corner for me.) This is my build that I'm thinking of buying/building shortly: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/t7sDyc As long as I buy the same 970, I can SLI at a later date (say 6 months) down the...
