cooling advice

I have an old Macbook pro 13 inch (mid 2014) and it was having cooling issues. I took out the back panel and found that the rubber which is present between the fan and the heatsink is missing. So i put hot glue there as i thought it would help stabilize the temperatures. Now im worried that the...

Hi, My friend recently bought a 360mm AIO and says he has noticed a big difference and suggests that I should buy one (He doesn't know much about PC hardware) I already have a 280mm Corsair h115i on an i5 8600k which is overclocked to 4.8GHz, would it be worth it to upgrade from my 280mm to a...

Is there a source for accurate dimension specs on intel CPU dies? CAD files? I see measurements on height but I want to know the full dimensions since the die on my CPU is very concave (8 core 10th gen mobile xeon and i9-10980HK).

A couple of months ago, my computer started making a terrible clicking sound and shortly thereafter I started getting BSODs every 1-2 weeks during gaming sessions. I started monitoring my hardware this week and realized my CPU temps are hovering around 85 degrees during gaming and sometimes...

Just looking for some input on what you guys think about the temps I'm getting. After going from a 4790K and 1080 to a 5800X and 3080 I'm not quite used to all the thermal output. Case: H710i AIO: Kraken x62 280mm (top mounted) CPU: 5800X GPU: 3080 Strix PSU: 1000W Seasonic Fans: 3x120mm front...

Good day, I am planning to repaste my GALAX GTX 1080 EXOC SNPR and am asking for recommended brands of thermal paste as well as the appropriate thickness of thermal pads. I would love to see your inputs. Thanks in advance!

I'm planning to move my old PC to a new room. The room in question can reach a blistering 35+ Celcius(95+ Fahrenheit) in the summer. It even nears 45 C or 113 F occasionally. (No air conditioning) The PC I intend to use is pretty old. i5-3450(Stock cooler) and a gtx 750ti. Not using it for...

Hello I have question I can’t seem to decide how I want to set up my radiator and fan set up. I have enough fans to do push pull however with my Motherboard I can’t fit push pull if I top mound the radiator. The main question is would a side push pull (6 fans) be better than a top push or pull(3...

Hi guys, Recently I tried a cinebench R23 with my 3600x cpu and reach 93 degree with multicore test and 67 degree with single core test. I would like to ask that is that normal or my system is kinda too hot ??? I just bought this PC in September 2020. Normally my iddle temperature is around...

I purchased a Noctua NH-D15 CPU fan on newegg.com but the directions seem to only mention AMD CPU's. However while looking at a different fan from the same brand it says it is compatible. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page there is a graph and it shows the same fan. Link here...

I'm having extreme temperature control problems with my rig. Idle temps are 65-75c. And the second I start a game it instantly jumps to 90-100+. This is causing the blue screen crash constantly. And I also believe it to be limiting my performance. I have a kraken M22 cooler but from the forums...

Hello, im looking for a cpu cooler for my new gaming pc. I would like something with RGB that is reliable and will do the job good. My limit is about £80. I have the asus prime z490-a mobo and i7-10700k and gtx 1070. Any help and advice would be highly appreciated

I know what size I want which is 360mm however, what specific model is best for cooling an i9900k? Side notes, I do not care about RGB, I don't overclock.

I just upgraded my video card with EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB TW3 and I believe I have huge issues with the case ventilation. https://ibb.co/pyYghwC As you can see from the picture my case is inverted! (had to be because of the interior of my room) In the front I have two intake fans that are...

Hi, I'm pretty new to building PCs and made this PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CKXrMv At first my Ryzen was way too hot for idle (50°C) so I installed some more case fans and reapplied thermal paste. I've got 5 input 1 exhaust and 1 AIO After doing a cinebench CPU benchmark test, the CPU...

I am new to PC building, and hope to get some wisdom for a ‘build’ I am making. I am in the process of picking fans for my PC case, and have realized that I haven't considered whether the fans I hope to buy can be used for the rear, top, or front of my case. My question is whether I have to...

Hi, I have a LIAN LI 011 AIR and I've managed to pick up a lot of Arctic P12's for cheap so have just installed them all in this case. Of course it's overkill but I want to find out is this setup actually doing more harm than good and for example the 3 fans in the bottom right going in,up and...
