Need a CPU Fan

[Mark.223]

Hi guys, I need to know what I should replace. At idle, GPU fan is at 1200, Case fans are 1500, and CPU fan is at 3660. I'm guessing I could get away with replacing only the CPU fan, so any suggestions on what I should buy for it? I would like a fan under 40$ preferrably, and I'm not sure if the heatsinc is nessessary or not. I also have no idea what size this is in milimeters, its unlabeled as far as I can tell.

If you're replacing the fan, might as well replace the heatsink - the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is supposedly the best cooler in terms of heat and noise for under $40. Unless you're into serious overclocking, this will be all the cooler you ever need

However, make sure you check that your case can accomodate a cooler that tall. Also, I'm assuming you're upgrading from AMD or Intel stock cooling

Its Cyberpower, meaning its just a bunch of low-down brands put together. I like the one you are suggesting, I might buy it.

The bestbuy people told me it could overclock when I bought it, but it can't. Refund policy ensures that you can't return it if you figure out that it can't overclock, so its a well thought out scam.

212evo is the best cpu cooler under $50

That's not bad for the money.

As said, 212 Evo.

Is there a case fan equivalent of the 212 Evo? Like, something that will also last 40,000 hours and has about the same DBA?

Incase I need to replace the case fans too

Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 120mm Silent Fan for Computer Cases

its a 4 pack of 120mm fans, often for under $10ar
extremely quiet and good airflow and low rpm will last a long time
(excellent case fans, poor on heatsinks/rads)

Buying that also, though I have a problem with my PC - it shuts down in the middle of games on occasion. Is this certainly a cooling problem, or is my power supply at fault?

Monitor the CPU & GPU temps. What are they hitting for max?

[Mark.223]

Good suggestion, Illl play a game In a couple minutes and figure it out.

Well cooling alone does not suggest that u could overclock; as that would have to do more with what motherboard and cpu u have; not just the cooling.

But even if u can OC, u will want to first figure out what is causing the random reboot/shutdowns first.

[Mark.223]

I can't overclock and thats not the goal either. I just want to play games on normal. I'll start playing a game now and I'll check my temps.

Ok, temperatures hover around 47, 58, and 26 degrees celcius after 10 minutes of gameplay. Power supply failure?

what cpu and motherboard?
cpus have different max temps

AMD FX 8120, 8 core processor. Its kind of trash really. The only non-trash componets I have are the seagate hard drive and the graphics card.
