Lower CPU and GPU Temps

(1/1)

Dave790:
To lower your CPU Temps please read the list.
1. Bin your stock cooler as they are rubbish and only fit for landfill.
2. Upgrade to an aftermarket CPU cooler Air or Water is up to you.
3. Cooler Master or BeQuiet make very good air coolers.
4. Corsair and Cooler master make very good AIO Watercoolers, EK make AWESOME AIO Watercoolers.

To lower your GPU Temps...
1. Airflow is king, more air in = Cooler GPU (and CPU if on air).
2. Upgrade your stock case fans, only a few case makers fit good fans.
3. Think Static Pressure fans over AirFlow fans as S/P move more air.
4. If you want a 747 taking off next to you then buy Corsair fans.
5. Some cases have a fan position above the GPU so it may be handy to add one.

General Tips for CPU and GPU...
1. Add more air in than Exhaust, you are feeding your computer with Airflow that is cooler than inside the case. As a plus it also cuts dust down.
2. Add a custom fan curve for your case fans.
3. Only buy PWM fans as it adds greater flexibility for fan curves and RPM monitoring.
4. Use a HW monitoring software to keep an eye on Temps.
