I'm just wondering if one of you guys have any tips for lower CPU temperatures. With DBO on and my CPU running at 100% my Temp sometimes goes up to 90c!

When I run "balanced" power settings it is only at 50c idle, and 60-70c while playing DBO.

EDIT:
I updated all my drivers, cleaned all the dust out of the fan's and my heatsink, reapplied thermal paste, and now my pc is around a good 20-30c.

Buy a better computer. If your computer runs that hot just playing DBO it shouldn't be playing games in the first place.

Exactly this. You can't use a program to magically change the physical parts of your computer. DBO is also a low end game, it shouldn't use anything more than like 1%.

"buy a better computer" isnt an option for most people, and It isnt the whole PC its just air circulation in it. I was expecting fan recommendations. My computer runs that hot while playing any game not just DBO. DBO was just an example, because games like Guild Wars go up to the same temperature.

No. It's your entire computer. It's a piece of crap. Guild Wars is even less demanding than DBO, and yet your computer gets too hot playing that?

Again, get a new computer.

if your computer is like 10 years old i understand that yes you would probably need a new computer to play this game, however if it isnt you might want to check if the cpu fan is attatched properly with its thermal pasta still intact. take the fan off, put new thermal paste on and make sure you reattached the fan on properly in case it loosened

It doesn't matter how old it is, it matters what's in it. The fact that it's running that hot on games like DBO and Guild wars means you really need a new one. I wouldn't bother putting fans in it because it really is a bad computer, you're going to just waste your money. You can build a computer better than that for less than you think.

Cleaned all the dust out of my pc, updated all my drivers, and thanks to Porunga's advice i also reapplied thermalpaste.

Now my PC runs at 30-40c.

Everyone is telling me to get a new computer when Porunga was the only person who actually gave useful information lmao.

Guildwars 2 is less demanding than DBO? lmao
