Im trying to get into the habit of cleaning my pc every 4-6 months and its been 5 but I dont have any compressed air so I asked my parents if I could get some or an air blower but instead they asked me if I could just use and air mattress pump, and that makes a lot of sense since it does blow...

Hello! I'm currently looking for a replacement AIO for my main rig (i7-9700k) and an air cooler for my backup setup (i7-4770k). Recently, my Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 stopped working, the pump was making rattling noises and I had to move the case around to get it to start. It's quite...

Hi. Up until now I have always had Windows computers, but I've decided to switch to Apple. Having looked at specs, prices, common issues and opinions, I am still not sure which is the best option. It will be replacing a desktop PC and laptop, although I do have a tablet for a portable option...

My friend is building a custom pc and has already started installing the hardware, but we have no realized that the airflow may not be able to support the hardware (Though we are not entirely sure it won't) Any advice on if this case will suffice or what to do if it does not...

So ive been thinking about getting the antec df700, which comes 4 fans(3 front intake, 1 rear exhaust) + 1 reverse fan thats put on top of the psu shroud, which seems to not make any difference in temps according to reviews. So ive been thinking of using that spare fan as a top exhaust instead...

Hello, can someone recommend to me a cooler that is a maximum of 60 dollars/euro for an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 that can cool it off at something like 50 constant degrees? I don't want to overclock, just to be sure that it is stable, I already have 40-80 but sometimes I got some spikes that are 80+.

Currently when at 100% gpu load I am reaching 80c and over on my gpu. My cpu temps are fine as they hit a max of 72c. I was going to buy 6 identical high rpm fans and put 3 at the front and 2 top and 1 rear for a push pull config. (3 push and 3 pull) My case is this...

I have an ASUS Prime B365M-A with a Thermalright Frost Commander 140 hanging on it. I've seen a lot of comments about heavy coolers sagging and destroying boards, but have not seen any evidence yet. I've read enough that when looking at my PC it looks like the cooler is sagging already. It's an...

View: http://imgur.com/gallery/GpnhzSp Any tips for increasing my airflow? Currently seeing around 80c on the gpu and CPU when gaming. I'm idling at around 42c on both as well. I was thinking maybe more case fans or either a water cooler for the cpu. I have two 120mm slots on the top, and...

Hello, guys! I'd like to get a new cooler to overclock my I7-7700k. But I don't know which to pick. Preferably one around 50 euros and max 70 euros. And should I get air or water cooling? I know the I7-7700k generates a lot of heat so if a more expensive one is worth buying, I probably will...

Hello, I would like to ask you what fans should I put at the top of my case. I was thinking about putting 2 x Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM 140mm as exhaust at the top. Would it be better if I put them as intake? Is there a better fan than Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM 140mm top case fan? ( And cost less than...

Hello, My computer gets pretty hot most of the time (55°C at idle) (80°C usually while gaming) and I was wondering, would it be bad for my computer if I open my window and allow for cold air to come in my room and cool it off? My computer is near my window and it helps a lot but I was worried...

Hello, What Air cooler will be best for this 3700x and will be enough for incoming 4800x? In summer I can get more than 30-35 °C in my room so I probably need something good. Also not every cooler is available in my country. I have looked around and found this coolers: Dark Rock Pro 4 (hard...

I have a cheap Alaska liquid cooler (£30) and would it be better for me when I upgrade to get a new air cooler or would the Alaska one be any good?

Hi guys, I'll make this short. I bought a CPU. I am applying the heatsink and too much air got to it in the process of installing the massive NH-D15. So I started again. This is where the mistakes happened.... -Used kitchen towel (not LINT free) as it was the only thing I had and was not...

My computer has been overheating recently, so I set all fans to max in the bios. There's been no change in airflow whatsoever and Im scared that everything will just melt.

I'm in search of a 775 socket budget CPU Air cooler for my Intel Xeon x5460 which I'm planning to overclock(the only real criteria is the heatsink width which should be 120mm

Hello, I am building my first SFF build. With a thermaltake V1 case. So not too small. I am using an I3-9100 so a low power CPU. Should i go with air cooled or an AIO in this case? Never used an AIO before. I grabbed a Scythe BS3 for now, since not many coolers fit in this case because of...

Does 1 case fan in the front of the case do any harm? My other fan in my case recently died and we couldn't make it. So i had to take it out. Now i only have 1 fan in the front, and 1 in the back of my case.

Hello, I just built my first PC yesterday, ( https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4W6d29 ) I've never built a pc before and didn't really know what I was doing, it did turn on however, surprisingly. Anyway when it came time to install the CPU cooler I kind of messed up really bad, or at least I think...

I have this problem for the second time. The first time I've fixed it with system restore point and it worked. I THINK windows crashed after using front USB port. Now about one or two minutes after using front usb it happened again. Same problem. Log file...
