    [SOLVED] Cooling Questions For Upgraded Build

    Heya! If possible, it'd be better if your radiator was on the front of your case as an intake. There could be all sorts of other issues though including uneven paste application to needing to flatten out your cpu heat spreader and/or the cold plate on your cpu cooler. Good luck!

    Upgrading and building a new PC! Please help!

    heya! Seems like you have a great basic gaming pc at the moment. That's fine, but you can't ask for a late 2020 build reccomendation when it's 2018. PC hardware accelerates so fast that what is best for your price range now will be bettered in a month or three. Ask again in 18 months.

    Water Cooling Kit

    You can fit two 120mm all in one radiators in there. Corsair sells a bolt on kit so you can convert your GFX card to watercooled (it's extra for the watercooler). It is not, however, a task for an amateur. There's plenty of 120mm watercooling options out there but they will only be on par...

    Idle temps around 40-50 degrees, under load is around 80-90 after exhaust fan stopped working

    I LOVE Frankenstien solutions so post a pic if you can. It's awesome that you decided to modify your case rather than replace the part that needed to be replaced. In all seriousness there may have been more damage in the transfer or not a lot of re-plugging in. The CPU cooler fan should be...

    Disk usage 100% but 0 read/write speed

    Laptop HDD swaps are usually really easy. In the meantime try deleting some old games you no longer play and close your internet browser before playing. Especially imgur.

    RedLights on bootup

    Some motherboards like yours and mine don't use a case speaker for diagnostics on boot up but use led's instead. It's all good.

    PC Restarts automatically

    Those CPU temps are extreme. I'm not familiar with AMD CPU's but the first one I bought burnt itself out after the CPU fan died. (back before AMD put in temp sensors). Your CPU is shutting down due to heat. In all likelyhood you need to re-seat or buy a better cpu cooler. The other guys...
