    Question cpu temperature problem

    You don't want to use brandy or methyl or anything like that because they are all water based, which can cause oxidising issues (rust) which is really bad.

    Question CPU Overheating (I believe)

    From experience that case may be the issue and the mounting of the radiator. My NZXT H500i had the radiator mounted to the front and there was no where near enough airflow to cool down the fins and so, no cooling. Try mount the radiator on the other side, that may make a huge difference as it...

    Question cpu temperature problem

    You only need a dot about the size of a pea. Also do what are the temps inside the case? P.s make sure you clean the old thermal paste off or it will affect your temp

    [SOLVED] Should i buy i7 9700k or Ryzen 3700x for the long run? 4-5 years.

    I will try to give my most neutral opinion, but for me security is a big issue. You will see a lot of biased opinions for both AMD and Intel owners/fans but what stopped me from going Intel this cycle is the Zombieload virus that Intel has yet to fix with their hyperthreading. AMD also had a...

    Question Dark Rock 4 Pro with Trident Z Rgb

    Okay I understand where you coming from now :D Just a sort of suggestion, I would say why not use the wraith prism from the AMD CPU? The temps from them aren't that bad if you have good airflow in the case (plus you can save the money you would spend on the cooler on getting some better parts)...

    [SOLVED] I want to upgrade my CPU cooler.

    I would say yes most likely, but it isn't a crazy hard thing to do so you should be a-okay! Plus $20 is really good :D

    Question Upgrade Advise

    Hey Pachii, I won't recommend parts because if you like your parts then stay with what makes you happy :D What I would recommend though is wait for about November to buy your GPU because NVIDIA will probably have there game packs that come with something like Modern Warfare for free which can...

    Question PC build not working (no fans or leds on)

    Hey 1st thing, the ram is in the wrong slot. It goes second from the left (refer to the Manuel). The other is make sure your PC case pins are put in the right position to power on the device as the picture shows.

    Question MSI GTX 1660Ti gaming X temperature high?

    Hey Zatic, The new 16 series (although there have been implementations of it in older gens) have a boost setting in which if the gpu is under a certain temp then it will boost the clock to get better performance. NVIDIA as Stefanos said has now said operating temps of under 95 is healthy now...
