[SOLVED] pc on 40*C on idle and up to 85 during games

[p0ppy_penguin]

my pc had a overheating problem a while ago with the cpu but after i reapplied thermal paste it went back to normal. now its overheating again throughout the whole pc (with gpu and cpu on equal temps) i tried putting my fans on full power but it doesn't cool it down an inch. what could it be possibly?

Good choice. The H7 is a little better at cooling than the Hyper 212 and H7 is also quieter since it's default fan profile speed doesn't need to spin as fast.

If going with the H7, I strongly suggest you buy it direct from the Cryostore, it's currently $38. Markups by retailers have gone nuts lately on that cooler specifically, newegg had it listed yesterday at $129.

You can use 2x 120mm in front, I'd move the top fan closest to the front there. If you can remove any of the drive bays, do that too, they block huge anounts of airflow.

Geez didn't know it was that much, could go a d15 and get a pizza with money saved.

$30US limited time only while stocks last. Not sure on stock levels. Single fan though but if from Cryorig store can get dual fan for $38 that would be better.

Kind of expensive, but pretty typical since everything in Australia is expensive. That's a good cooler though. I have and have installed quite of few of the single fan H7 units.

For 9 bucks more, this would be a FAR SUPERIOR option, IF your case will support that cooler's height. What case do you have?

He's in Australia. Cryostore isn't an option unless you want to pay about 40-80 bucks in shipping. Plus, might not be able to anyhow with their laws. IDK for sure. It won't be that price though.

He has this case

So he's limited to a 155mm height cooler. That means he can't use the Phanteks I linked to, can't use any of the Hyper 212 models and is pretty much going to be limited to that H7 if he wants a decent tower cooler.

There is this option, which is better than the 212 EVO anyhow, but probably not nearly as good as the dual fan H7. Still, it should be more than good enough for his CPU configuration if he wants to save a few bucks. And it's just barely short enough.

Well the Cryostore is part of newegg, so I assumed that covered AU too. Prolly wrong. Lol

Lol, was just looking at Gammaxx from your list and i see MSY has them for the same price also. MSY have many stores all over the place in AU, hope he has one close to him can just drive there, they also ship. Height dimension 154.5mm, will just make it.

I've bought stuff from newegg.au site so might be possible

 

[Darkbreeze]

This is all that shows for Newegg AU. Not an option.

[boju]

Oh well thats a shame

 

[Darkbreeze]

The Deepcool Gammaxx 400 is an EXCELLENT budget cooler. I like the H7 with dual fans better though. But 35 bucks is 35 bucks and the Gammax performs more than well enough for that CPU.

Looks like that is out of stock and there are no prices listed for it in any case. It actually says right on the Newegg AU site, "Not available for Australia"

That H7 is his best choice unless he wants to spend more money. That or the Gammaxx 400. Everything else is either too weak, poor quality, too tall or too expensive. For his region anyhow.

got a adequate cpu cooler from a friend and now my cpu wont go over 75 degrees all is good
