I havent swapped the cpus between machines but they are identical ITX builds. The only difference might be the brand of 16GB RAM. Also, now, the i7 build has a non-stock fan. It's a Noctua

I have the same problem with the i7 4790K. Idle temp 55 to 60 maxing in the late 80s sometimes 90s. Fans are like roaring jet engines, all the time. I've upgrades the cpu fan and added a case fan without any change. I came across this thread while looking for an i5 4690 to replace the i7...

The laptop has 16gb ram, 1070 GPU and i7 8750h CPU. I believe the HDMI is 2.0 and display port 1.4. The monitors have a VGA connection and are all the same. What is the cheapest and handyiest way to set the laptop down and connect to the 4 monitors on an extended screen basis? Is there settings...

Thanks Justin thats a lot of info. I hadn't realised that those cards could support 2 4K screens. I'm not sure about the 1030 as I can't seem to find one with 2 "4k" connectors. But the 1050 appears to suffice.

I've asked a similar question, probably in the wrong forum area, that got no replies so I'm trying it here aswell. From research I've done, I was of the understanding that the combination of the integrated GPU of an i7 8750H and a basic 4K dedicated GPU like 1050ti would be sufficient to drive...

I've a 12 yr old that wants to video edit some iPod videos and upload to youtube (pure beginner) from a laptop. Gaming is a minor consideration as he has an xbox. Could anyone give some recommendations in the £300 mark (not above £350)? Or what I should be considering e.g. AMD vs Intel...

Thanks again to everyone. I've installed a Noctua NH-L9i and all appears to be working great http://screencast.com/t/BNboZCy2ebjV To test it out I turned on the Turbos in the Bios (i'm not sure if that is a test but it's all I'm capable of) and loaded every application that I would be...

Thanks Ecky, It's at Balanced

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. pm4: I tried your suggestion and reduced the processor minimal. This certainly reduced the temp but for a 50% reduction temp dropped by 20oC. to the late 70oC range. However the computer became very very sluggish. I raised the minimum and the temp...

Thanks xXCrossfireXx, if I go with the suggestion not to reduce the clock speed could you suggest an adequate cooler that will fit in the iTX box - I had a look inside and it's fierce tight for space?

I've got an Asus ITX motherboard with an i7 4790K. It runs on the stock fan that came with it. It was never meant to be overclocked. It was just for a desktop everyday computing excel-word etc... I've noticed that recently the fan is roaring and the temps are very high close to 100 oC...
