• New Computer Running HOT
    8 replies, posted
Hi guys, for Christmas I just built a new computer. Its using an i5 750 processor with stock fans/thermal paste. I turned it on and everything worked perfectly. It idles at around 40c, which I figured was fine - the problem is that under ANY load (minecraft for example), the temp climbs towards 60c and the fans start whirring loudly. I'm using HAF 912 case and I managed the cables well - but I know it shouldn't be running this hot. How do I fix this? :S
How did you attach the fan?
stock fans suck dick, get an aftermarket. that's about normal
My fans sometime randomly go really loud when the room gets hot, I keep thinking that somethings wrong but i check all my temps and they're fine. 60 degrees isn't that high, so you have nothing to worry about.
60c isn't bad, if you're worried about temps get a new HSF.
Well the thing that worries me is that it gets to 60c off of MINECRAFT.. I don't wanna guess what will happen with BC2 or any other modern game...
Minecraft is very CPU intense.

60c is fine, 90c+ is when you should worry. If you are worried just buy an aftermarket heatsink.
