do i need a cpu cooler?

The need for a additional CPU cooling is dependent on the actual load you are putting on the CPU. Although it never hurts to overdo the cooling, the answer lies in tracking the temperature while the CPU is in use to determine if additional cooling is actually required.

try to upgrade your cooling fan for a bigger one...and adding another system fan to your cpu...that might help

Before installing the water block, you will need to have the following parts to complete the installation.\n\n1) A Radiator suitable for computer water cooling.\n\n2) Fans for the Radiator.\n\n3) A Water Pump (aquarium or pond pump with a recommended minimum flow of 1.5 L/min at 1.5m head).\n\n4) A Reservoir (this is not essential if a closed system is being used. However, the user will require a T piece and length of pipe at the highest point in the system to purge air.).\n\n6) Six (6) Hose Clamps (nine (9) if using a closed system).\n\n7) Two (2) metres of Hose (3/8 or 1/2" internal diameter pipe depending on barb size).\n\n8) CPU Thermal Compound.\n\n\nStep 1 - Attaching Hose to Water Block\n\nAttach 2 x 1m lengths of hose (this will vary depending on the system) to each barb on the water block. Attach hose clamps and tighten (see Figure 1).\nFigure 1\nStep 2 - Testing Water Block for Leaks\n\nConnect one end of either water block hose to house tap. Purge all air from hoses and water block. Place thumb on open hose end to pressurise block. Check for water leaks around cooling block and hose connections. If hose connections leak, retighten hose clamps. If block leaks, return to place of purchase.\n\nStep 3 - Mounting Water Block to CPU\n\nPlace each triangle headed bolt through aluminium bracket holes. Place a spring over each thread and add washer and nut (screw nut down until level with top of thread - see Figure 2). Place small amount of thermal compound onto CPU (as per manufacturer's recommendations). Place water block onto CPU, ensuring that the CPU is in the centre of the cooling block and is not sitting on the CPU socket(inexperienced users should use a CPU shim to assist in installation). Place aluminium bracket over cooling block centre and connect the triangle headed bolts to the centre lug on each side of the processor socket (see Figure 3). Tighten nuts evenly (approximately 2mm at a time, alternating form one nut to the other) until springs are fully compressed. Check that there is clearance between the motherboard and triangle head.\n\nStep 4 - Completing Cooling System\n\nConnect the centre hose from the cooling block to the discharge of the pump. Connect the other water block hose to the radiator water intake. Connect radiator discharge and pump suction to reservoir, ensuring that the water level always remains higher than pump suction. For an inline system connect radiator water discharge to pump suction and install a T piece at the highest point within the system. Continue to add water at this point until all air is purged from the system. Once air is purged from the closed system, plug the T piece with an end cap.

They remove heat from the bottom of your laptop.  Your computer works best at a cooler temperature, and having a cooler under it will help it run faster, and last longer.

if it is your budget go for it. nothing wrong with more power. make sure you build it with a 64 bit CPU.

check if your CPU temprature is high.\nthe most common resualt of "CPU fan" problem is hanging or freezing.\ncheck if your CPU fan is working properly.\nthe next problem may be RAM.try to change RAM and test your system.

Depends on different processors. If you have an intel motherboard, installing the suite of applications gives you the temperature and default limits which the CPU and computer shudn't exceed. According to what i know, this should not be more that 50 degrees celsius

mains noise? open the case and see if it is the processor fan... else the power supply (PSU the metal box)\n\nNb: the fan is an essential componant (it must run) ... if you want to fit a quieter fan get someone compentent to do it as you can crack the motherboard if you do it wrong!!!!\n\nquiet PSUs can be bought but might be cheaper to buy a modern case and a more recent PSU if it has theright plug for your motherboard\n\n( a funny answer would ...it doesn't know the words)

50c is perfectly fine.  My systems average between 45 and 50c.  I believe AMD CPUs can handle temps of up to 90c (i could be wrong).  Although the motherboard cannot handle temps that high anyway.

AMD CPU is a good one...

just buy the fans, use the included screws and replace the fans you already have, using the same conectors.\n\nif you are installing a new fan, find an available connector , route the cables and you're done with a cooler PC\n\nremember, be sure to make one fan an intake and the other the outtake for better cooling.

I run an AMD 64 but not an FX-62.  The idle temp is different depending on what OS and idle processes you run.  If you're finding that your cooling is inadequate, see if you can find a higher rpm cooling fan instead of (if this is your case) a prong heat sink.  If you want it to run quieter, relieve some of the load off your cpu (if you really want it quite and don't mind, underclock it).  Or, just stop some unneeded process via. msconfig in the 'run' bar.

The CPU heatsink is used to cool the processor,it takes the air to cool down processor.

Look around on your mainboard's installation cd if your computer came with one, or go to the site for your mainboard.  They often have a utility for monitoring your cpu and case fan speeds, given in a choice of F or C.\n\nBut be aware that devices that you want to monitor for temps must have some kind of hardware attached to them that does the measuring - main boards come with this for cpu and one or more of the fans, but not for the other things you mention.

well you dont need to keep your desktop but its handy if your laptop ever messes up you'll still have a computer.\n\n(PS) if you leave your laptop on over night it wont over heat because i have a laptop and i leave it on over night defraging and other stuff

CPU is only one source of heat.  If you're doing something graphically intensive, you can generate heat on the GPU, especially if you have one that steals/borrows system memory.  Also, there could be some background process using the hard drive, so check if it's spinning.\n\nThe only other thing I can think of is a problem with your fan or heat sync.  If the fan's getting old or clogged it may not push as much air so it won't cool as well.  Similarly, if your heat sync has gotten dislodged somehow that may be causing heat problems.  Unfortunately, both of those are warranty problems.

overheating is caused by your CPU running for long periods of time without adequate cooling. It should be fine.
