Afternoon guys,

Just touching up on an problem I never fixed which is now causing me issues more frequent.

I bought a AMD 8320 - closed loop cooler bundle few years back which is still going strong pumps enough juice for my setup an no plans for VR just yet.

Yesterday I changed my closed loop cooler stock fans after the noise just became too much during gaming sessions.

Fitted two new new two Noctua NF-S12B REDUX 700RPM 120mm Quiet Case Fan which im so impressed with the noise levels are amazing I didn't expect such great results.

Unfortunately I got a little too excited when they arrived and just installed them straight away so I totally forgot to log the cpu temps with old fans installed.

The thing im concerned about is there aint much blowing out with these not much power etc where was the old ones were very power and used to in a way cool my hand when I checked.

After playing CSGO for 2hrs straight last night my cpu temp was 59o this temp seem fine?

That's my old post yes I got shot down in flames on that thread as I fitted weak as **** case fans to my cooler :D my bad I never fixed this for some reason I never hit any problems playing csgo.

Now I have since fallen out of love with CSGO "RIP skins" so started playing GTA5 or attempting to as computer keeps shutting down getting some serious CPU temps now.

I need to fix this now so would you just fit a couple of new fans or better to stick a new PSU heatsink?

A lot of reading there's not much in them to be honest performance wise?

Two new fans is prob half the price of the HSF.
 
sorry about my arse-end thread.

I took the plunge and picked up a pair or Corsair Air Series 120mm PWM.

Ran GTA5 on max for a couple of hours and no problems at all and temps around 50o so happy and no random crashes or shut downs.

Ready for the BF1 beta now :)
