An h212 does not fit inside the case (trust me i tried) and some chip of some kind on the back prevented me from installing a h212 anyways so i need a back plate that is compatible with my motherboard

That's unfortunate

 

At any rate I recommend getting 1 front fan and 1 rear fan (maybe 1 more front fan so they can both run at low RPM). As for CPU cooling maybe a relatively cheap AIO since it's an ITX case such as the Seidon 120V or Corsair H80?

Hello LTT Community,

I recently went on vacation to the Caribbean islands  and brought my pc with me, but it has not been smooth sailing however. Firstly the computer is very loud now due to the fans ramping up to compensate for the heat.  So i tried to remedy that by by putting the fans into silent mode but all that caused is that my system thermal throttles and then crashes, then after that i try to turn it on and the system refuses to power up until the temperature goes down. My system looks like this at the moment.

What are my options to remedy this problem. 

Here's the system specs just in case.

Get rid of the stock cooler and get a proper aftermarket cooler. A cheap option is the Hyper 212 EVO. Also get a rear exhaust fan. Having 1 front intake and 1 rear exhaust helps temps A LOT compared to no fans

Yeah you just dont have enough cooling for the environment. For now either run the fans loud or risk damaging your pc.

I'll get a H80, a fan for the back and some fan splitters since this board has room for only two fans.

Dont split from the board, run them from molex adaptors.

The Hyper 212 Evo didn't fit in my case either. I use a TX3 which does the trick.
