Is this something I can live with or is it potentially a serious issue?

Not sure about RMAing, because I'm working full time and can't really afford to have my PC out of action for that long

I tried this and it was rather cumbersome. I couldn't really pinpoint the sound this way, but the third video I uploaded (filming right next to the PSU) had the loudest sound so I've assumed for a while the sound is coming from there. Corsair TX550M, bought and fitted last summer to replace a...

I'm having an annoying issue with my PC, namely an annoying rattling noise coming from inside my case. I think that the PSU is the culprit - in fact I turned it upside down (so the fan faced up) to try and fix the issue, and when the sound came back it was noticibly louder. I checked a couple of...

I am planning on starting my first PC build very soon, however one thing that has left me confused is the subject of ESD. I own an anti-static wrist strap, and I know that it is recommended to attach the strap to the case. However, both the PSU and the case I am buying are painted and have no...

I've removed the old CPU cooler from a PC ready for a new one. However the old bracket is still in place and appears to be stuck on very tightly with some kind of glue. Does anyone know how to remove it? Preferably in the safest way possible that would cause the least damage to me or any of the...

Also, by 'very loud', I mean when running at full speed it is louder than other fans running at full speed on other PCs in the house.

So would you reccomend a new cooling system? If so, what system would be optimal for my setup?

About 57 to 60 if I remember correctly.

When playing a game it reached around 90°C. Also the CPU fan is very loud atm.

I recieved recently an old PC from my dad as a little project for me to fix up. I want to fix it up as it is more powerful than my laptop. I noticed that the CPU, using RealTemp and Speccy, reached very high temperatures, especially when doing a demanding task such as running a 3D game. The...

Price range isnt that much - around £50 give or take a few - I've considered something like the Corsair 200r.

But will it fit in my old case? Bear in mind that the CPU has been reaching temps of over 90°C according to RealTemp and Speccy, is this due to a faulty cooler or possibly something else?
