need a gpu that runs most games at 1366*768 resolution at low to medium settings at decent fps... budget 8 - 9 k inr..(games like gta v, saints row 4, fc4, cod) rest system-(i5 old, 8gig ram)

 

Extend your budget and get the GTX950. The GTX750Ti is past that curve and nothing from AMD holds a candle to the former.

My pc overheats and shuts down when gaming. Hardly lasts for an hour unless AC is switched on.

Both CPU and GPU reach temps around 80

 

Config:

AMD FX 8350

AMD Radeon R9 280X

Corsair Vengence DDR3 4GB x2

Seasonic S12G 750W

Cooler Master K281 (with 3 fans: front and side - intake, rear - exhaust)

 

Can someone suggest me a good case under 10K? Looks don't matter. Just want a case that can cool the system

 

So far I've come up with 3 choices

  1. Nzxt phantom 410
  2. Corsair Carbide 500R
  3. HAF 912 combat

 

Also, do i've to install any liquid coolers? I don't plan to overclock at all

^ Go for the Corsair Carbide 400R.

 

Alternately you can look at the NZXT Source 530.

 

Also, as I told Archit, monitor your fan curves and tweak them to perform more aggressively to prevent overheating. In-fact try changing your fan curves (in the UEFI / BIOS) first before investing in a chassis.

Get a good case like alpha said, it should have a 165+mm cpu cooler support. And 240mm radiator support to be future proof.

 

You have a 10k budget so buy a air cooler like noctua u12s or u14s whatever that fits your budget or at the very least go for Cooler master hyper 212x.

 

For liquid coolers go for corsair h60i or h80i.

 

Manage budget properly, the stock cpu coolers are not much effective.

 

Edit - if you go for a air cooler you need to check if you can fit it because the size of your ram may interfere or the air cooler might touch your graphic card. The gfx card thing depends on space provided by mobo.

You could try the below alternative

Buy A carbide spec 3 then replace the front intake fan by 2 140mm Air series of Corsair.Use the fan which you replaced to suck air in via bottom of the case.Add 2 exhaust fan on the top and the radiator fan in the rear.That way you can get cold air from the bottom cooling your components and the hot air will be expelled via to fan.If you need to keep a positive or negative pressure adjust the fans

Next deepcool Maelstrom 120 liquid cooler.Reviews are very good and will cost you just 3.5k

Overall cost

4.4k case +2k fans+3.5k AIO cooler =10k

Acha but with overclock we can get a speed bump around 4.3-4.4 na ??

How much do you overclock??

Yes you can get that much off a bump,but OC's depend upon individual cpu's really

 

I haven't OC'ed yet :P

How to adjust a custom fan curve bro? BTW is this a sign of my GPU dying? :fear1:

 

Here, follow this guide.

 

This is no sign unless your display is getting corrupted and you have ruled out all other possibilities.

Depends,

  • on your luck with the silicon
  • how stable your processor is at that clock speed
  • how efficient your cooling is, ties into Point 2

You will have to over-clock in increments (maybe a ~25MHz step-up) and continuously keep testing the stability of the processor by running games or benchmark applications to stress it.

4.4k case +2k fans+3.5k AIO cooler =10k

 

Just adding fans to the mix would not suffice and neither of your suggested chassis is deep enough to accommodate the Hyper 212X comfortably.

Damn will go for 4460 then ,no headache.Will upgrade to 5th gen when it arrives :)

Also mate do you think buying from ebay is safe for processors ??

 

btw why would he need a air cooler when he is using a liquid cooler which is much more effective in cooling.??

 

Also looks better for showing off :P

There are no 5th gen i5 or i3 procs. The current is 6th gen but i'd suggest you wait until DDR4 compatibility is sorted properly.

 

Air coolers by noctua can be silent as ninjas. If you don't have lights on pc switches/components you wont be able to tell if it's on or not.

 

Some liquid coolers tend to start making noise after some time or as i seen on youtube under load like the prime95 test.

 

For overclocking though at higher speeds like 4.5 Ghz and above only high performance coolers should be used.
