Those are the games i use to play at max graphics without a single problem...

World of Warcraft
World of Tanks
War Thunder
Planetside 2
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
cRPG


Now the problem was pc shuts itself then says ''CPU fan error''. Heat was really insane so i've change my cpu fan. But the problem is still there, pc shuts itself all the time.. At least the heat is gone. I have no idea what to do next... I can't even play cRPG nowadays cause of this problem

[Casul]

had that problem once too. Bought new fan but problem still up.

I guess you have already tried that but it may help when you change his location.  Mine was in the corner of my room, was marooned by my table so he overheated all the time.

Then I just made some space around him and he was running fine, havent shut him done since 1 month and he is still working (rip soon anyway ;_;  )

Are you sure it is not overheating still?

That CPU- cooler should be able to function for some time even without a fan. Maybe thermal paste gone to shit and doesn't transfer heat anymore?

[Kirman]

Well i just got the fan today,also thermal paste  This is the heat while cRPG is runing. I could even open a youtube video while i'm dead but now it's impossible...

Edit: WTF Cassia,I'm trying your advice  it's actually working perfect at the moment. (Game + iTunes / Im not gonna try youtube tho )

[Clockworkkiller]

39-40 degrees should be perfectly fine for cpu temps

replace the fan, replace the paste, see what happens. also go into bios and check fan settings
If your worried about temps, add a case fan or two

EDIT: looks like your problem is solved

[Kirman]

For cRPG, it looks fine at the moment... I  don't feel a flame thrower close to my leg

Might be something else overheating. My cpu runs over 80 degrees sometimes (LGA 775) but the actual side of the PC is cool - luke warm

You want good airflow through the case. With mine theres a big fan on the back sucking air out, one at the front pulling air in + PSU has a fan. I leave the side open a bit too (probably bad for airflow but its just what i'm used to doing)

[Kirman]

I might add a fan at back aswell. Let's see how far i can go like that first..

[Christo]

Should be perfectly fine until the upper 60-s of celsius.

Hell laptops got even smaller space to ventillate air out, and they operate with 60-70 C just fine.

So I don't get it why you would be restarting with the temperatures you posted.

It's an AMD though, glad you replaced stock cooler

i had a heating issue with a laptop of mine, i at first thought it was the gpu overheating, which caused a stutter before it would just shut off.  Come to find out, it was one of my cores that was slowly melting and eventually just died.  Im no pc guru by anymeans, but check to make sure you arent having heating issues elsewhere.

[WITCHCRAFT]

It looks like you have nice internal fans for your CPU and GPU. Does your case have decent stock fans? A case fan is pretty cheap as far as computer parts go, and it helps a lot. Like others said, it could also be a thermal paste issue (not as scary to fix as you might think).

40C seems pretty low to trigger and overheating error. Maybe there's something that is causing the GPU to rapidly heat up and the fans take a second to catch up and kick into high mode?

edit: laptops are heat death bricks and that shit will happen if you have a single dust bunny stuck somewhere in the case. Charging your battery can produce a ton of heat and make your CPU flip out about the temperature as well if it's close to the AC jack.

[Thomek]

If you have failing fans.. you can try to oil them. (not kidding)

I did this to my 580 when the fans started rattling and stopping. Drilled a small hole in the fans, applied mineral oil + sticker to close the hole.

Another time a cable got in the way of a gpu fan and I didn't notice why it wasn't spinning.. A friend of mine had thermal paste problem on his cpu.

Your rig is extremely similar to mine. If your case is similar too (with fan openings on top, one side, rear and front), what Cassia said must be your trouble. The location of your case probably prevents it from breathing in or out. See if you are allowing enough space around each fan, so that both intake and evacuation fans can work properly.

[Son Of Odin]

And just saying, with thermal paste: "Less is more".

Just make sure you cover the whole area completely and with smooth surface but with least amount of paste possible. Better heat transfer that way. I'm sure you already knew that but yeah...
