I need help on how i could rearrange my fans or anything to improve airflow/temps.

CPU overheats and PC shuts down when I play intensive games like Rust.

switch that fan round on the heat sink and have 2 intake on the front

[Lord_Karango17]

the fan on the cooler, is fighting the one t the back of the case, as they are opposite to eachother.

 

swap one or the other. maybe leave the cpu cooler as it is, and have the one at the back of the case as an intake, to feed the cpu cooler with cool air (you will have to deal with the dust though)

Maybe hightening the speed curve in the bios of the cpu fan?

[0ld_Chicken]

what are your other specs like? cpu and such..

is your thermal paste properly applied and cooler secured right?

do your fans run at 100% under load?

[thekeemo]

1. can you come do my cable management?

2. all I can say is add a fan up top

[0ld_Chicken]

switch that fan round on the heat sink and have 2 intake on the front

that too. didnt see that

[Juanse]

And turn the back cooler

@thekeemo How / Where would I fit another fan? I'am kinda new to PC building and such.

Turn the fan on the cooler around, and make sure the front fans are intake. Currently, you have the rear fan pulling air out of the case and the fan on the cooler pulling air through the cooler; yet the rear fan is pulling all the air away from the cooler, so as someone else said they're fighting for air.

Sry didnt add this but 

 

CPU : AMD FX-8370

there is usually a fan mount at the top

@thekeemo Hmm weird this case doesnt ://.

@thekeemo Hmm weird this case doesnt ://.

maybe get a 212 evo and some better fans then?

If it is overheating to the point of it shutting down I don't think the heatsink is getting good contact with the cpu or you used to much/to little thermal compound. Try re seating the heatsink with fresh thermal comound

That cooler and fan look a bit on the small size for an FX8370.   The high-end FX series chips are like tiny furnaces.    A cooler with more surface area and a 120mm fan should get the job done.

I have one of those in my case and my Phenom X6 running at 125W+ rarely gets over 32c.  And it looks really good.......
