Didnt you just say that 30 minutes was too short and i shouldve waited 2-3 hours? Btw i think you misread my post. I edited it to make it easier to understand.

Yea i shouldve def let it dry a lot longer. I hope my cpu/gpu/ram are still alive. New board will be here in 2 days. Especially my 2080ti

I was cleaning my pc today and i got some thermal paste in the motherboard cpu socket. I used 50% isopropyl alcohol ( i know i shouldve used 70%+) and sprayed into the socket while facing the socket upside down. There is no post beep. I literally SOAKED the socket to get all thermal paste out...

My game freezes on a 4800 ghz too and it doesnt happen with any other game ever. I also have a 9700k and asus (tuf) z390 plus wifi motherboard. If I turn overclocking off then I have no problems but I obviously want to be able to overclock without hassle

I didn't do anything to the computer. I just turned it on and ran it at stock speeds. Asus motherboards tend to run these chips at higher voltages. At least this motherboard does. I don't need to do anything else im running it at 1.27v right now and everything is perfect. I actually smelled my...

So I found the real problem if im able to help anyone else. It was the ASUS motherboard. the voltage was at 1.5-1.6 which I just heard is way too hot. I lowered it and all is normal now. My cooler wasn't the problem like these gentlemen suggested. View...

I dont think your doing anything wrong. I think some people are getting hotter cpus than others. I returned mine because it was hitting 85 degrees in apex. I returned the chip, bought a better case for airflow instead of aesthetics, and got an h100i platinum. Hoping My chip stays cooler when i...

Im pretty sure their strengths don't depend on cpu. Im talking about the 9700k though.

Which one gets better temps under full load? Not looking for opinions just looking for facts based on people that saw official benchmarks. Dont want suggestions for other Aios. Just want to know which one gets lower temps? Thank you computer techs.

That might break the foam

How do I clean the front panel filter on the Thermal take commander c33. Its not really removable, its sensitive, and its a foam dust filter.

In most situation, Isthe corsair hydro h100i platinum 240mm version able to keep the 9700 around the high 60s-low 70s during gaming ? I know the 9th gen cpus are like ticking time bombs.

So every prebuilt from like dell has a crazy chiller inside to run it at stock speeds (4.9 turbo boost)? I see people playing apex with inferior air coolers than mine on youtube and not going over 70 degrees. I can manage to lower voltage and wattage in my bios and hit about 80 degrees but...

Not going to lie Im surprised there aren't a bunch of threads of peoples temps going up to the high 80s and 90s with an air cooler all over the internet. I really feel like maybe psu or cpu is faulty but willing to give water cooling a chance.
