im a total computer noob, just built my first gaming rig without knowing anything about computers. so im using a asus p68 lga1155 mobo with i7 2600k with a huge noctua nh-d14, this cpu cooler takes up half of my nzxt guardian, and ive got 3 120mm fans circulating air in the tower. so with the cpu cooler and my radeon 7870 video card my tower is pretty much full. i don't know what temp the cpu is suppose to be in, but it idles around 32C and after couple hours of dota and sc, it goes up to around 38. so is it not good having everything packed so tightly and upgrade to a full tower? or should i just get a water cooler?
*i dont even know how to overclock, so its set to the turbo OC thingy. my ultimate goal is to get good performance without losing reliability. any tips on changing around my setup?
