Okay, so I just built my very first computer. Everything is fine and dandy but I'd like to get my temperatures a little lower. I am absolutely clueless about cooling, like push/pull, how to get air flow, intake/outtake, etc all that good stuff so take it easy on me!
Specs:
Fractal R3
i5-2500k
Gigabyte P67-UD3
EVGA GTX460 SC
8GB GSKILL
Corsair 520HX
CM Hyper 212+
Spinpoint F3
Crucial C300 128GB SSD
The only fans I have are the 2 stock ones that came with the case, and the one that came with the Hyper212+.
So, while playing WoW (pretty intense), my CPU temps are 49, 48, 45, 47. The third core is always the lowest temperature. I'm not sure if these temps are good or not, but I'd like to get my computer as cool as possible without sacrificing quietness. I have my computer right next to me on top of my desk and my computer warms up my room quite a bit.
What would you guys recommend I do to get my temperatures lower while keeping the noise level low?
I'm willing to spend around $100 to achieve this.
I may also look to upgrade my PSU, as its quite old and I think it is the loudest thing in my computer next to my GPU. But as of now my computer is pretty much silent unless I'm under full load while playing SC2 with WoW running in the background.
I'd like to know what fans I should get and how I should set them up in my case.
Any tips, ideas, and recommendations appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
