OK I got it to boot finally! I think there was an issue with cleaning of the fans and possibly tightening the heatsink a bit too much. The temps are pretty decent now at idle (40-50C), I live in a pretty humid area. However now whenever I try and play games the laptop just freezes and the audio...

I have an Acer Predator Helios 300 (PH315-51-50ST) since start of 2019. There have been thermal issues/throttling since the beginning, especially when playing games. Undervolting had initially helped to keep the temps somewhat manageable (70-80C) under load. However recently it has been...

Sapphire gives out a 2 year warranty for this card so i dont think i can change the compound either until after the period! I have overclocked the card using catalyst controller, the GPU clock is at 800MHz while the memory clock is at 985MHz, i have left the fan at 38%! Its probably because of...

What thermal compound did you use for your card?

No idea i guess they must have made a mistake when building it. At the moment when playing games (Witcher 2) the CPU goes as high as 65C (without the casing panel). And the GPU has gone as high as 64C, i hope the extra case fan that i have bought lowers the temperature further and increases the...

I seem to have found a solution to the problem. I turned the cpu fan which was facing away from the heatsink to face it! Now the idle temp is around 45C! Im gonna buy the case fan anyway to further increase the airflow inside! This has also seemed to cool the GPU now without the need of an...

Will do having a look at few now.

Yes it does

Wow thats a lot of fans!! Yeah im planning on leaving all the slots open, and getting a few fans, especially replace my cpu fan (its just not that good anymore) and place it so that it blows into the heatsink. My psu fan blows downward, however my GPU fan blows up against the psu fan, so i mite...

True it has been hot even here in the UK, and my room can get quite warm from time to time! The last time i checked the temps for the E6400 it was around 41-45C at idle and that was a few moths ago. I hope this maybe due to fact that i just installed the cpu, it may take some time for it cool...

At first i put a spot in the middle and then spread it using card, and then used the heatsink to spread it around more. But then when i read the instructions on the arctic silver website i decided to clean it and then apply it again, this spread it in a vertical line, then using the heatsink to...

i installed the core2 duo e6700 today an it seems to be working fine however it seems to go above the thermal spec of 60.1C, on 100% load it tends to go as high as 74C, it that normal? I used the thermal paste u recommended.

Yeah i just thought i would give it a try, might aswell upgrade when i can, but it didnt work so im not too bothered. Im not planning on getting a card higher than the 5770 for this comp anyway so that's fine.

Yeah they do, i called them a month or so back when i had the graphics card problems! They ensured that it was a graphics card problem and thats when i decided on getting a new one.

Yep, i a have medion pc, i downloaded the update file from their site. Whenever i try to run the batch file it keeps saying that the 'awfl884a.exe' file is missing when its clearly in the same directory!
