CPU Cooling (Tough decission to make)

[SaltyPotato]

Hi all, im having a really big problem.

My CPU is constantly hot & gets overheated most of the times,
I have asked around a bit and friends (that make their own computer) told me to:
A. Get a new cooler (like https://www.coolblue.be/nl/product/773164/noctua-nh-d15.html)
B. Get a new motherboard & cpu

What should i do? (Im a PC gamer wanting to run all games i own on Ultra settings, i own CoD, Overwatch & Battlefield, games like that)

Socket: 1155
Processor: Intel i7 2600K

Your 2600K is very much overclocked. The stock max clock speed is 3.8Ghz, your screen shot shows 4.5Ghz.

This seems to have reduced the temperature quite a bit, not sure why it was overclocked. Dont really like having 70C° all the time though, should i keep this for now or go for option A / B ?

You didn't list what cooler you are using now. That cooler is very good. It is also very tall. You need to verify if it will fit in the case you have. An alternative would be an AIO water cooler like an H100i or similar.

Not sure what cooler i have right now, costed around 50€ back when i purchased it.
My current case should be big enough for this cooler. Water cooling im not really sure of it but COULD give it a try.
