Hi
I currently have my one year old PC. It is this one: http://tweakers.net/gallery/524421#tab:wenslijst
My issue is when I play FIFA 15 the game often freezes at the loading screen(when loading fut ultimate teams)and from what I noticed my PC is pretty warm. Hwmonitor, Speefan and aida64 all measure temps between 75-80 degrees.
The weird thing is that AMD overdrive keeps telling me thermal margin is still 5-10 degrees. But I read on the internet that my CPU can max reach 73 degrees. So that is why Im not sure if its so hot.
I also rebooted after 2 hours of playing and bios said my CPU was 71 degrees. Why is it so hot and why isn't it shutting down after 73 degrees? I use stock cooler btw.
 
i never really checked the temps with the stock cooler. just looking at it you can tell it's going to suck. I tried a Thermaltake duorb and it was okay. again, didn't check temps. then because of the noise of the fans I ran my old H60 corsair with 2 Cougar silent fans. temps are never above 56c......... so yes, your temps are really hot.
 
But why is stock so bad? I should at least get a working product that keeps my temp low when playing a game right?
If not what cheap CPU cooler would work good? I don't have a lot of money to spend since I just bought a bunch of stuff and the game and a controller.
 
hyper 212........... think it's made by coolermaster??....under $30 on a good day. ........ or a freezer pro equivalent.

no, neither AMD nor Intel package good cpu coolers that much anymore. would be nice to see some copper slugs on these to help draw heat out.

another thing.......... your case fans.......... the lower front one is sucking air into the case and the upper back fan is blowing out the back??
