I need I5 2500k Cooler Advice
Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2011 1:42 pm
Heya Dudes,
I have I5 2500k (LGA 1155) with boxed cooler and default thermal paste. Overall Temp is good but with some of never games(Dragon Age) Its getting up to 85c.
My Case Is ENERMAX Staray ECA3170. It has built in frontal Fan, and I added one at the back. so Air goes in from front and is sucked away at the back.
Case is sitting on top of table, BUT the side with holes is facing wall.
85 is showing red in Asus program and giving me warnings, honestly I don't know if 85 is realy bad or just normal when stressed with games.
But I think I need better CPU cooler then boxed one and some thermal paste. And I Can't spend a lot on fancy cooling systems.
can you help me choosing cooler and thermal paste?
P.S some of the CPU Coolers out there look real bigass, since they will be placed vertically how much issue will their weight be? I mean some are 500grams
and more, all that weight on motherboard??
thx in advance.
Edit: I'm not overclocking it now, have not messed with settings
