What fans should I get ?

[big_dane]

I built my PC a couple of months ago, ever since I've been getting a black screen crash even if only watching videos on youtube. The thing is when I built the PC I didn't really think much about cooling and after troubleshooting everything else I have narrowed the problem down to having only 1 intake fan in the case and no exhaust. I have a 4970k with the stock cooler and a Powercolor R9 290 PCS+ so it get's hot even if only idling. As of writing this with only Mozilla open I have 58 C in Core 0, 54 C in Core 1, 54 C in Core 2, 53 C in Core 3, 57 C Package temp on the CPU, GPU is running at 50 C and my 850 Evo SSD is running at 38 C and the case I have is a Cooler Master K280. I am thinking of getting 3 new fans, scrap the one that came with the case and go 2 intake on the front and one exhaust on the back. The case supports 3 120mm fans. Right now I am looking at getting 3 Noctua NF-F12 and later on a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Cpu cooler. Are those any good ?

3 nf-f12 for case fans are great

 

for the 4790k, if you wanna OC, the hyper 212 evo wont be enough, but it will be enough for stock clock

I am not going to be overclocking. I would love to get me some type of AIO liquid cooler, but my case doesn't really support it.

I think getting a better cpu cooler should take higher priority

212 evo is like one of the best bang for buck cpu coolers ever made

I'd say get the 212 and a case fan (2 preferred if you have the funds)

fractal design venturi fans are also highly rated

It'll work for a mild overclock, but voltages above ~1.24 would start to get really toasty really fast.

yea, mild to average oc is fine, depending on his chip's heat dissipation

 

but i would just get a beefier cooler if i wanna OC lol

AIO would be a waste if you're not overclocking

stick with the 212 evo
