Oh normal usage and gaming it generally only reaches mid 50s currently with odd spikes into high 60s. That's good to know at least it's not uncommon. But I will be definitely getting a set of fans to start with. I know it's the wrong thread but any decent 120mm fans that you would recommend...

Just recently upgraded my cooler to a nh-d15, and cinebench I'm getting low 90c with a slight undervolt with the case closed which is a Corsair 4000d. The case only has the 2 stock fans currently. Prime95 on the other hand jumps up to 100c extremely quickly. Is this normal for the chip? I know...

So I've been doing a bit of digging, I'm now able to do cinebench and the temperature is now maxing at 95/97c instead of just going straight to the max. There is a setting called CPU lite load. Apparently it's an MSI thing. I've turned it from 12 to 1 and now it seems to be stable. I'm probably...

Thank you for both your replies so I have a few things to adjust then. Also was just testing it with cinebench and it went straight to 100c. I did monitor it with hwmonitor as well and it seems to be continuously boosting all the time. Is there a setting to change that will stop this from...

Hi, just upgraded my PC motherboard, processor, ram and m.2. I upgraded to the i7 13700k and I'm using the Noctua nh-u9s. I noticed that it gets pretty hot with the cooler and I assume it's because it's a single fan as well as not being the biggest cooler. Prime made it go right up to the high...

Thank you for your advice. I have got it under a thermal pad that's attached to the board so I was hoping with sticking it back on and with the pad on top of that it would be fine. Many thanks again for the swift response as it has eased my concerns.

Thank you for the reply. Apologies as I'm currently away from the PC. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0B25NXWC7?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image That's the m.2 I brought. As I mentioned the sticker was metallic and it sorta fell out as I took the drive out. I had re stuck it back on but...

Basically I have just built my first PC in a while and have fitted my m.2. I noticed the sticker has come off which looks conductive. I have stick it back on so should it still be ok to keep using as I have installed windows and have been currently using it?

I was only gonna go to bios just to make sure but no worries thanks for the advice.

Just put my new build together and my current CPU cooler isn't compatible as I made an error in thinking it was the same bracket. Would it be ok just to switch on to bios just to make sure it posts then turn straight off?

So I've been looking at monitors now for a while and it's been doing my head in as there are so many types plus panels and features. I did buy a asus tuf 27inch 1440p monitor but after 2 weeks it kept turning off and multiple dead pixels appeared. So I have sent it back as they have none in...

So managed to do some testing today. Last night temps were in the low 80s and today decided to clean the grating and tried a bit more but temps reached 90c. Clocked down to 4.5 and still the same. Did a bit of research and turns out my CPU isn't running stock voltage as it's in auto. Started in...

Well I've been re testing on the Intel burn test multiple times. Temps are around 73°. I might have a play around in the settings with the fan speed as it's rather quiet plus a clean probably wouldn't go amiss!!. Currently using CWMonitor to check all cores but so far so good!.

Overclockers my CPU about 4 months ago and managed to bump it up to 4.5ghz with no voltage increase. Decided to run prime 95 just to see what sorta temps I'd be getting in an unreal world and so far settling around 78/80c which I'm pretty eased with. Do you think I could go higher than 4.5 stock...

So i have started playing around with my 2080 to see what clock speeds I can get. I've seen a lot of people getting around the 110/120 extra for core clock. So far i have had 140. Tests all ok no stutter or artifacting. Was wondering if people have gotten higher. Regards
