I recently got a GTX 1060 6GB. I've done some research and determined that an FX 6300 is enough for it , and so it was , but it started overheating , probably because of the GPU. I have a stock cooler , so I am guessing thats the problem but I will need help from anyone to find a solution , should I get a new cooler or wait a year so I can afford a new cpu?
