Would these fans work for my case...
Fans: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Build: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Yes, you can put 2 fans in the front of the case as "intake"
Should already have one in the back, came with the case.
You may be able to put 2 in the top.

Alright thanks for the help i will try that.

never use the stock coolers for over clocking it could cause this issue either use water cooling or air cooling im not to sure about the fans but they should work and then it should fix your cpu from over heating

MoodSlappe wrote I suggest changing thermal paste it dropped my second pc's Athlon X2 240 by 10 degrees celsius. I used Arctic Silver 5

I got the computer for last Christmas would the thermal paste be bad already?

I could be bad if you used the pre-applied paste, they use cheap thermal paste i would recommend replacing the thermal paste on your CPU and getting a few fans to increase airflow. Also keep in mind that you might need to buy some fan adapters if your motherboard doesn't have enough fan ports.

What adapter should i get for my computer?

Gigahertz wrote So hold on a second.. You've overclocked your CPU without an aftermarket cooler and you're wondering why it's overheating?

Mate..

It's a G3258 though. You should be able to overclock it with just the intel heatsink loads of people have done that. Although if you want better overclocks and temps then go with an aftermarket cooler. Which imo doesn't make sense with such a cheap cpu.
