I hope that you already have one of these.

I dont even have one of those. Stock can work for minor OCs. Just need good airflow through the rest of the case.


If it's your cpu that's overheating, then you should buy this before the case. I don't care if you don't have it overclocked at all. Better airflow through the case will bring down the ambient temperature a few degrees, but your cpu will still run hot. Even if your pc doesn't hit the shutdown temp, you will still be shortening the life of your processor. Heat kills cpus and you should try to keep it as cool as possible. A better case, however, will help all of your components. Depending on your current ps, I'd probably suggest keeping it and getting the cpu fan instead.
