So I built up from my pre-built franken computer about a year ago now. Recently had a problem with my mobo, couldn't re-install windows due to hardware failure. After getting it replaced I am back where I was. This last year it is a constant lag and heat issues in windows. I am just throwing this out there. A lot of people say get a better end cooler for starters but I am also seeing that my fx-6100 processor is just crap? Maybe that is why it disappeared so quick after I bought it. Just being online now with 4 tabs open in chrome I can hear my CPU fan a buzzing and it is so annoying. Also visiting devinart online and opening 12 plus tabs causes my temps to really spike and I even get warning message from asus suite about my temps. I also have issues with playing a game of it spiking to over 60 and my asus suite freaking out because it was too high and sometimes even shutting me down. I am idling at 41 degrees C right now. I want to consider liquid cooling, but I move my computer a lot so I am not sure if that would really work for me. And I am looking to buy a GTX 760 to get out from under my old graphics card. I don't want to spend a lot of cash right now, but I want my computer to work for me. I am running my settings on high performance in my ASUS bios if that is making things better or worse. Thanks for all your help guys.
