    Question My idle temps are on average 60 C and I cannot get them lower

    Hi, just a quick update! I repasted my CPU with thermal grizzly hydronaut and also added 2 more intake fans on the back side of the AIO. This has helped to dramatically lower temps. I am currently sitting at 49 C average according to HWiNFO. This also probably because it is a little colder this...

    Question My idle temps are on average 60 C and I cannot get them lower

    I did actually switch them around again back to the way I had it (AIO Fans as intake, top as exhaust) and it honestly was about the same. However, it does make sense for the top fans to be exhaust lol. I will order some new thermal paste and will give that a whirl. I do agree that 57 C for idle...

    Question My idle temps are on average 60 C and I cannot get them lower

    View: https://imgur.com/a/UgvB3hB I just got around to trying the fan orientation you mentioned. Top fans are now all intake and radiator fans are now exhaust. Idle temps did drop a few degrees and I am now averaging about 57 C. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about the ambient temps in...

    I will give those fan orientations a test run and see how it goes. I'll also look into getting a 280mm rad in the future if I am still not happy with the results.

    View: https://imgur.com/a/PxXVaIw Updated image with fan flow direction. Fan RPM/Rate is based on the curve shown in the original post. All fans are on the same curve.

    Question My idle temps are on average 60 C and I cannot get them lower

    As the title suggests, I have higher idle temps than what I would like and nothing I tried has helped. I have seen online that some people have their CPU at 50 C on average. Below, you will find a picture of my computer where you can see how my fans, etc. are configured. I recently replaced the...

    [SOLVED] Persistent BSOD Issue caused by ntoskrnl.exe -- Any help is appreciated!

    About a year ago, I built a new computer and have had BSOD issues since the first couple of weeks that I have had it. I have tried a lot of my own troubleshooting to no avail. I even brought it into a PC repair shop as well. Using BlueScreen viewer, I can see that the problem driver is listed...

    Question Computer is prompting for disk check on every startup/reboot

    Per the title, every time I power on my system the computer prompts me with the message "to skip disk checking press any key within 8 seconds". If I don't skip, it scans drives, etc. I have 2 SSDs installed in my computer and have ran CHKDSK on both of them and it returned no errors. I have also...

    Question Did my GPU just die?

    Is there anything else I can check at home to determine if the card still works or not? If not, I will see if there is a PC shop in my area.

    Question Did my GPU just die?

    Thanks for the quick reply and confirmation. The only thing that shows 0 in GPU-Z is Memory Size, is this still a sign GPU is dead? :cry:
