Cooling fans
(see attached image)
In the image my CPU is idle. When I play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood I net a mostly-stable 60 FPS, but my CPU temperature gets to around 60c. Now, even with my limited knowledge on adequate temperatures in these situations, the way the number turns an angry and ominous orange is enough to let me know that it's getting too hot. Suffice it to say, I think I should upgrade my forum before my computer gets so hot it burns a hole through my floor and into the center of Earth.
Another big issue is me being poor as dirt. I can't afford one of those fancy $100 gold-standard fans. My ideal price range is more along the lines of $30 and under. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Incidentally, any other advice regarding the safety of my system based on the image would be much appreciated. I recognize that safety of my current equipment is far more important than getting shiny new hardware that will inevitably burst into flames and burn my house down.
Thanks again.
EDIT: Loudness is a bit annoying, but definitely tolerable if it means my computer won't become a smoldering heap of my paychecks.
