Upgrading from the stock cooler

Across 18 CPUs in the same class as yours (Mid-range), desktops with an air cooler typically peak 13°C lower than the same CPU on its stock cooler (209 systems tested on ThermalStats). Yours peaked at 74.0°C.

Most of that gain comes from any decent tower cooler. Check that it fits your case and CPU socket before buying.

Cooling Improvements Recommended

Both your CPU and GPU are running above community average. Here are some steps to bring them down:

  • Reapply thermal paste — this alone can drop temps by 5–10°C
  • Upgrade to an aftermarket cooler (tower or AIO) for your CPU
  • Improve case airflow — add intake and exhaust fans
  • Clean dust from heatsinks, filters, and fan blades — dust is the #1 cause of rising temps
