CPU ALWAYS OVERHEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Phen8210]

Xigmatek Asgard XP casing is a dust magnet.

how come ah?

uh.. how does that stop does dust from building up in the case too fast?
But my problem is pretty obvious.. open casing can't even see the psu anymore

your CPU heats up to 90 degrees means there could be some problem with the CPU cooler mounting or thermal paste
you dont OC theres no reason for your CPU to hit that temp

oh well if you are so sure adding intake fan will make it better so be it, but last advice do not let your chip run on 90 degrees for long period of time, will degrade your chip fast

i am pretty sure adding intake fans will not help much

That's right. For the temperature to go that high, it may not necessarily be the air intake alone. Best to do the following:

1. Re-sit your CPU, reapply thermal (look up for thermal paste spreading techniques), and place your cooler as tightly as possible.
2. If you want to add an intake fan, straight-line airflow would be better than L-shaped (speaking from personal experience).
3. Tidy up your cables. Cable clutter can cause restriction of ventilation as well.
4. Try not to overcrowd your case. If you have many parts, get a bigger casing.

That's all I can think of now.
