GPU temps are fine, but I would be worried about the CPU temps. You might want to buy a CPU cooler just to make sure you dont degrade your CPU. Try removing dust from your CPU fan, and see if that helps
I think I found the problem
i purchased a 1600mhz ddr3 4gb whereas my mobo supports upto a max of 1333mhz :-/
But again, why is the ram working fine with 32 bit?
i mean its showing 6gb ram and ram usage also falls as soon as i insert the 2gb stick with 4gb already there!
How can i lower the cpu temp?
There isn't any dust
One thing at a time. Get your RAM fixed first.
If you want to lower your CPU temp you'll need to get a new cooler or at the very least a fresh coat of thermal paste. We can help you with that but I'd worry about your RAM first. Have you tried what I suggested?
If you go to your system properties how much RAM does it say is actually usable right now?
Also, if you're worried, get a new CPU cooler.
52-56 is totally fine. Getting north of 65 or so is a problem.
Alright..!
but what am saying is why cpu temp. Was getting so high while playing sniper elite 3? When its normal while playing saints row 3 at ultra settings ?
I thought its gpu that heats up according to game settings
I'm not totally sure about this? But maybe Sniper Elite 3 are more cpu intensive than Saints row? Maybe you should look into wich background programs you can safely shut down while playing Sniper?
Hmm, I have been reading around a bit about Sniper E. III and the cpu heating up. You are not alone exsperiencing this. I found 3 other forum treads conserning this problem.
There are 2 cures for it so it seems:
Disable supersampling and tesselation in the game options. These 2 options put a lot of stress on the hardware. I think it's wise to disable these in the Catalyst Control Centre too if you have them enabled?
Enable Mantle support for the game:
To enable it you need to select the “Use Mantle” tickbox in the game’s launcher, which is accessed via the Options button. Mantle, will lower the workload for your cpu and gpu some.
Make sure you have the latest Catalyst driver for your Radeon card. Uninstall the previous driver before you install the new one.

Even at 100 percent load on all cores 70 degrees is a bit too high.
Sud, just get a new cooler. What case do you have?
A larger midtower or a fulltower will likely have better cooling thru more 120 mm or 140 mm fans preferably. It's also much easier to tuck away cables out of the way from these fans airflow paths in a case with more space. But the CoolerMaster CMP350 is'nt what you want. Maybe a CoolerMaster HAF instead or something similiar.
Let's hope enabling Mantle will improve the tempertures for you in the Sniper Elite 3 game.
It's not terribly surprising if your CPU is that hot. From the sound of it, it's probably a pretty cramped case. Bigger cases have more volume of air moving through them which helps obviously and more space to let your components "breathe" a little more. The main reason I was asking is because how wide your case is dictates what kind of CPU cooler you can fit in there.
You don't need to spend a fortune getting a good case. Most 50 dollar cases these days are pretty good and from the sounds of it, almost anything will be better than what you have now.
