Few days ago I decided to download Speccy and notice that my CPU was at 70 degrees, even after just turning my PC.
And when I try to watch streams after few minutes I get a blue screen. Its a Phenom II x6 1090T. Its 4 years old. I never before put attention to the temperature of it, but always hated how loud it was.
I changed the thermal paste just few months ago, and I dont really want to waste any money on my PC, but I maybe could get a new fan if its cheap. But Im not sure if this will actually improve the temperature or make no difference.

I've used an Arctic Alpine for a friend's build and helped him return it for a full refund it the following week. The fan runs much louder than what that screencap says.
Blizzard looks alright, but CM uses shitty sleeve bearing for their fans so they wear out fast if not placed vertically. Hyper T2 might be slightly overkill, but there's no better kill than overkill.
I'd look into a Rajintek or Silverstone at aroudn the same price. They have a few Enermaxes on clearance that are super overkill for the price.

get a 212 evo
it's usually $30 and fits pretty much any socket. you probably won't even break 60 while gaming and it will be much quieter than the stock fan under full load.
not sure if there's any better cooler price:performance wise these days

Its almost $45 here. Is the 212X (non evo) as good as the EVO ? Because its affordable.

What the fuck did you expect when you bought AMD?

I have the arctic alpine. It doesn't even fit over the CPU slot. I had to use a different fan.

A LOT of people say that this cooler is actually pretty fucking great.
>>51320242
Hyper TX3 is pretty good for the money.

Wouldn't recommend the Arctic Alpine. Mine managed to toss bearing oil everywhere at max RPM.

Literally every pc owning friend I have uses this exact cooler including myself and it literally never throttles or goes above 35 Celsius in my case

I think I might sound plain retarded but, why the fuck is that shit like 14 000 bucks?

>stock heatsink
>running hot?
no shit
OP here
Right now Im playing Fallout 4, the fan is being really fucking loud but the temperature is just 57~60 degrees.
Those are some oddly specific prices.
