Hello. we are at the middle of summer and it's incredibly hot at 35 to 40 degrees everyday. I just built a new system and i don't want it to cook to hell. I picked a r3 3300x and used my old TX3 Evo as my cooling solution. I don't know if it's actually this hot because of the weather, but while playing heavy games like MW 2019 i easily hit 74 degrees after a while. Same goes for BF1 and similar heavy titles. After 3-4 times running a stress test with Cinebench i get a maximum of 78 degrees. The CPU runs at full clock (4.3GHz) in all the situations i mentioned. I believe TX3 Evo is not that bad of a cpu cooler. In fact it must be better than the Arctic Freezer 7x that some websites are recommending as a very good-cheap cooler for 3300x. But in operation, it's actually disappointing me big time. The temps are actually similar to the stock wraith stealth.
I recently even bought 2 extra fans for my case to improve the airflow, which makes it two fans for intake and one for exhaust. Should i wait for the summer to pass? or should i get a new cooler? would love to hear your recommendations. Thank you
