Hey guys so i recently got Fallout 4 and i've found my PC is overheating with the CPU getting to temps up too in the 80 degrees Celsius range.

I currently run a horrible little CPU cooler that helps not at all, i just cleaned the PC out a bit getting all the dust out which brought it down to 74 degrees when playing.

Another thing i am planning to do is overclock this CPU because i've heard how much potential it has.

Currently i'm running an FX-8350, a Gigabyte R9 280X and a gigabyte board (Of some sort, forgot the name) and a Zalman Z11+ case.

Here are my choices. (Please not the prices are in AUD)

Cooler Master Seidon 120V Plus $69

Corsair Hydro Series H75 $99

Cooler Master Nepton 280L $129

Corsair Hydro H100i $158

Corsair Hydro H110i $169

Thanks for the help!

An air CPU cooler is usually slightly cheaper and offers similar performance. I'd suggest the CRYORIG R1 Ultimate.

If you can the Cooler Master Hyper 212X is an awesome cooler and should have no problem cooling the 8350 & only costs like 30$ USD.
