I do believe it would be very helpful to all members if this Tutorial was completed.

It is very difficult to help with over heating or hardware problems without this information.

Xen12 Take a look at My System Specs in the lower left corner of this post and others and you will see information that can be added.
Once you have done this the Specs will follow your every post.

Noted, let me know if you'd like anything else

PS. I don't know too much about the fan(s), or my PSU, but as far as I know it's a really bad PSU with only 130 Watts

I asked for that info many a times (in 6, in #8 in #10) you never answered.

Now you are saying that you know .... then why you have tried to suppress that info? I totally failed to understand why you were that much unwilling or reluctant to convey that message. Hiding a fact does not change a fact. Specially when that fact is the determining fact.
Go change it. Have one of 750 Watts, at least of 600 watts.

Alrighty, I'll do the above mentioned and get back to this thread in a week ( Wednesday ) Thanks

We will wait for your update on Wednesday.

P.S. Dont forget to apply new thermal paste to the CPU, after dismantling and cleaning the computer. Otherwise the heat issue will run even more beyond control.

I apologize if I didin't tell you, I did not know how to find out, so i ended up googling the answer and then took some time to open the case clean the dust a little, and try to find the Wattage.

I've watched the video and I will definitely get some thermal paste for the CPU.

In my opinion all things are STOP.
You have a 130W power supply and your video card minimum requirements is 400W. A proper power supply is absolutely necessary.

Your Stock OEM case is not designed for extra needed air circulation.

To be straight forward honest, their really isn't a lot you can do for a quality upgrade with the system you now have. By the time you upgrade the case, video card and power supply you got a real good start on a new system.

I already found a 750Watt PSU, the only thing I have to do is measure the length/Width of my power supply, once I see the measurements match, I'll go for it and buy it, and apply some thermal paste to the CPU. I've stopped gaming and everything, I'm just normal browsing, but even in normal browsing I'm seeing a 58-61 on Speccy

EDIT: I also plan to build a PC in the coming months

Wish you luck.
Some of those OEM computer towers are made to special measurement for the OEM computer builder like Gateway and are very hard to upgrade anything inside them. I have only bought one store bought computer in my life and I gave it away and build my own now. Store bought OEM are damn near impossible to work with for upgrading.
Hopefully a quality proper power supply will carry you through until you can build your own.
Let us know how things go for you.

What power supply did you find?

Either one of these two Newegg.ca - CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Newegg.ca - Antec HCG M HCG-750M 750W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

I would recommend the Corsair HX750 although the HX650 would serve you as well. Newegg.ca - CORSAIR HX series HX650 650W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
With rebates they are the same price.

I personally prefer Corsair and Seasonic branded power supplies.

*update*

Hey guys, just thought I should update you guys on what I've done so far.
I went out and bought a can of compressed air so I can do a little more cleaning.
Some dust was on the GPU, PSU, and a little in the CPU fan-funnel thingy. All cleaned now.

I plan to go buy this Canada Computers | Power Supplies | Corsair Professional Series Gold AX650 Fully-Modular 650 Watt 80 PLUS Gold Certified Power Supply (CP-9020006-NA) Corsair AX 650, and I'll also buy the Arctic Silver Thermal Paste tomorrow, or the day after that.

Anyway, here's the temperature of the GPU Speccy is showing View attachment 287213 Everything seems fine, CPU, Motherboard and Hard drive are okay.

GPU drops as low as 70% but rises to 80-90% when not idling
