Hello everyone

These summer days are cruel to my processor cooler,
It sounds like an airplane turbine that is unbearable,
So I had to find a solution:

All I did is lower any frequency I could modify in the BIOS
to the lowest value along with the GPU but with the settings on Windows.

Now my computer is like an old man, a grandpa with 8 grandchildren,
but I guess thats all I need for surfing on OtLand, posting posts
and build maps.
 
Only thing I can say that should help is to open your case and blow out any and all dust, if that doesn't fix it then get a new fan and heat/sink pad.

I'll show you what my computer looks like, brb

3 coolers blowing the air out, 4 with the PSU fan as it does the same

Not enough ventilation = the heat (especially if the fans are blowing against eachother not with eachother) and for the loud noise, something could be loose... Think about it.

Another question btw, what is the energy consumption of your Vid card? Because that can be a major factor to the heat, or the processor giving out...
 
Fans are not blowing against each other, if you think they do, which one are those?
I have no idea how much my gpu eats, but now its on 60C and I played Max Payne 3 for 30 minutes.
 
So far from the specs I see on your first pic it all seems ok, the noise could be one of your fans loose or a fan going out, unplug one fan at a time to see if it helps the prob (turn computer off before doing so and unplug it from pwr source)

No sir, if the computer has no case and your room temp is not stable then that's the reason.

I guess it's time for you to get a case, especially that some fans are blowing the wall and going to the left.

Agree with the case idea, as I said for the noise it could be a fan going out or loosely connected.
 
Or just invest in proper cooling instead of removing everything from the chassis and buy something more competent than a 212+
OR IF YOU WANT TO BE GREEN, I PREFER PUTTING A POTATO ON TOP OF YOUR CPU AND CHANGE IT OUT FOR A FRESH ONE ONCE ITS COOKED !

Potato results !
