cooling

I've got a HPE ML350 GEN9 Tower server which is fairly quiet during the winter. Like, my laptop and PC are louder than it. During the summer however, things are getting out of hand. There are two areas that are problematic. These happens to be the VR P1 location at the back of the case -...

Hi all. I've been having a heating problem with my custom PC for a while. The gist of the problem is that the heat of my CPU gets incredibly high (like, between 85-100°C high) for no apparent reason. I'll have Discord and a couple of Chrome tabs open, or just one app, and my fans start blowing...

Hi everyone. I own an Antec DF600 FLUX case and was thinking about replacing the stock fans which some don't have PWM and also to maximize cooling efficiency. In their site, Antec suggests a 4 intake 4 exhaust layout as shown here: https://prnt.sc/ohVJGSUyRW9g I was thinking implementing this...

I need an enclosure for big size m.2 ssd that will be working 24/7. The bigger one (2) has well adhering heat sink and a bigger fan, that's why I think it would cool better but the smaller one (1) is more convenient, made completely out of aluminum and maybe this small fan would actually be...

With the title ive put, id like to ask which one is better? Which one will cool my cpu more? The cpu in question is intel core i5-10400 currently with close to no airflow coming in properly in an old office case with no fans to intake or exhaust, im putting it into the test in cinebench, getting...

so, maybe 3 years ago i bought my first gaming rig from those sites that let you pick the parts and then build it for you(even though i chose one of their builds). because i didn't know much about computers at that time i used it for 3 years before trying one day to find my fans in the Bios but...

Will all my fans be recognized and separately controlled if I plug them all into a fan hub? The hub is powered by my power supply and then the hub is connected to one fan header. All my fans will be in the hub. Will my computer be able to separate control all of them and register them separately...

Hello! I have a plan to set my ARGB fans here and I’d like some opinion/confirmation that it makes sense. First, here’s what I’m using Case: NZXT H6 Flow Mobo: MSI MAG B760M Mortar Wifi II. The JARGB_V2 connectors allow you to connect the ARGB Gen2 and the ARGB-basedLED strips. The JARGB_V2...

Case: Fractal Torrent Compact GPU: RTX 4080 SUPER Gainward Panther OC CPU: Ryzen 7600 Image of PC: View: https://imgur.com/a/7HzBzzE As you can see my GPU is being choked as it is nearly touching the front fan and only receiving partial air from the front fan. Would it be beneficial to add...

Hi guys, I would like to change the three (3) Deepcool 120mm fans included on the LT720 AIO with the Be Quiet! BL077 Light Wings 120mm PWM high-Speed. My question is will it increase or decrease the cooling performance of these AIO? Here's my build: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz...

I have this fan management for like 2 months, 3 fans at the front as intake and 2 fans on the top and 1 at the back as exhaust. I had no temperature issues so far, everything seems to be fine but I feel like a part of the top right fan is sucking the fresh air out instead of letting it reach...

hello everyone! i have made a temporary cooler for my asus 3070 dual oc, because the fans died on it. i took off the shroud and zip-tied 2 decent fans to it. is there a way to set them as GPU fans without that adapter(?)? right now, theyre set as cha fan 1&2(i have a controller for the other 5...

I've all of the parts for my new built except the cpu cooler (ak620) still hasn't arrived , is it save to test them to see if the system will post to bios, using a cooler master hyper d92 from an old haswell-e 5820k built, just placed on top of the 14700k without mounting, I've no idea what that...

So my motherboard is a m2n68-la (narra5) and the cpu has been replaced with a amd phenom x4 945. It’s been overheating and I tried replacing the thermal paste so I’m now thinking about upgrading the heatsink and fan. Please tell me what yall recommend, thank you! Idk what the case is called but...

Hi everyone. Recently I built a new system and now I'm not sure what to do with CPU temps. Testing done with cinebench r23 and prime 95. Idle 30-40°c, stress tests 80-100°c. Specs: CPU: i9 14900kf COOLER: Fractal lumen 360 MBO: ASRock z790 pro RAM: G-skill 64GB @6400MHz PSU: Corsair 850 GPU...

Thanks in advance. I want to upgrade my CPU, though my current one runs hot (up to 80+ in intense gaming), so I think i might need a better than stock cooler and some more powerful fans to shift the air through. But main ask is: will I need to upgrade my PSU too? I don't think so, judging by...

Case: Metallicgear Neo V2 Processor: Intel Core i9-11900k (8 core) Cooling: Asetek 670LS High Performance liquid cooling (240mm Radiator) Motherboard: Z590 Chipset WiFi GPU: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB PSU:EVGA 750 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Condition: 1 1/2 years old new I can’t seem to figure out what’s...

Hey, This is me (and my dads) first ever build. Its a MicroATX build without graphics card, only IGPU (for now, not required). Got a strong CPU so it can last a while. Not focused on RGB although it would be nice if convenient. We started researching for the parts around the black Friday sale...

Hello I currently have 4 fans on my case that are connected to an rgb controller hub, and 3 fans on my AIO radiator. I'm buying a new case which can take up to 10 fans total so i bought an additional 3 fans. All the case fans are 3-pin 5V ARGB fans + the ARGB aio. I would like to stop using the...

Hello all, I noticed my motherboard mosfet chips get a little hot but they don't have any heatsinks. I want to get some heatsinks for them but its very crowded in that area of my motherboard. So, I need individual 5mmX5mm heatsinks the height is not such an issue. However, I can't find any of...

I moved abroad for work/study so, while shifting I lost the stock CPU Socket Retention Mounting Bracket that came with my Motherboard and I can't use the stock wraith cooler that came with the 5600 that I just bought, are there replacement for the retention bracket available? Or should I buy a...

Good day, fellow PC enthusiasts. Namely, whenever I had a problem in the past that was not Google-able, I came here, received multiple answers really fast, and had my problems resolved. I call upon your might once again! A friend asked me to build him a rendering PC for 3Ds Max and stuff like...

I bought new Gigabyte 4070 OC and I had it on default fan curve. It sat at 35C idle with fan speed a t 56%. I figured 56% fan speed is a bit much when idling so I went and experimented with custom ones. But I'm not sure I'm getting it right or something isn't working as it should. As you can...

Hi, i have a this old computer system for over a decade now though it was just sitting there collecting dust in my store room for like past 5-6 years. Today i finally decided to take it apart to see what's inside it (it doesn't turn on). i have removed everything very carefully except I can't...

Hello everyone! I have a DeepCool LS720 WH settled on i7-13700KF, but its cooling performance seems to be significantly worse than expected. Initially, my MB auto settings set 1.35-1.4V for my CPU. During Cinebench test, it immediately hit 100°C, consuming 253W of power. I undervolted my CPU...

Stupid question, I'm planning to upgrade to a 4060ti 16gb Dual fan, or AMD 6800, I just don't know because my prebuild is kind of small and only has 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan cant put another fan inside Will my GPU temperature overheat?

hey guys, i got a Sapphire RX 5700XT nitro+ around 4 months ago and now i wanna sell it but the temps are a bit sus (at auto fan curve). setup is: Core i5 11400 16GB 3200MHz Lian li o11 air mini (2x intake, 1x exhaust) Am i worried too much for no reason? or is there anything i should be...

I'm looking to get a new video card. I've always preferred "blower" fans that blow air across the card and exhaust heat out the back of the computer vs "overhead" fans that blow straight down on the card (often with another card next to it blocking the fans) and dissipate the heat back into the...

Hello folks, I am looing for the best cooling solution for my i9 13900KF. The current case I have got is a Fractal Design Torrent Mid Tower, so I am looking for the cooling to fit that case. Thank you in advanced for any suggestions and help.

ok so, my setup is the following: case: Lian Li Lancool III Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B500-a Since I also have an ROG mouse, I installed armoury crate, mostly for it (yeah i know, it sucks). So, what's the matter? Case front fans are frikin loud, and they don't listen to what I set on the...

Hey everyone. I never really noticed it but apparantly my parnter is saying that my PC is making our office really warm when its running compared to when its in sleep mode or shut off. I have recently added 2 120mm Fans to the top of my case for more cooling.. I dont know if thats whats she...

Brand new 5800x3d in a NZXT H1. Yes, it shouldn't be in a SFF case, but I read other comments and threads with the same setup and the default H1 AIO being used and they get much lower temps, whereas I reach the thermal throttling limit almost instantly in intensive games. Lets look at my...

Do I need to manually adjust fan curve for my PC case fan or should I upgrade to better case? I recently built my HTPC for gaming, hosting Plex server in my living room. I chose case form factor based on sleeper look and clearance under 7" in my living room shelf cabinet. It fits well placed...

I am trying to upgrade my AAXA projector by replacing the really noisy fans. The original fans are 50x50x10mm 3-pin 12V fans rated for 0.19A. There are two of them, each with their own 3-pin port (pretty sure they are using micro JST connectors) on the circuit. My first attempt at this was to...

A while ago I took my computer to a repair shop to replace my PSU. Ever since then, every case fan on my computer hasn't been spinning. This wasn't a hassle to deal with, but im getting a new processor that will need better cooling in general. I really don't know how to fix this problem on...

I have a new Lian Li Lancool 3 case, currently using the stock 4 fans (3 front for intake, one rear), the GPU and CPU temp avg at around 65 c when gaming, but max CPU temp can go into the 80s (My CPU cooler is DeepCool Assassin 4. ). I would like to bring that down more by adding 3 more 140mm...

So I've installed a new cooler on my Ryzen 5 5600 and it's running so cool I've decided to overclock it but I can not figure out how to just overclock the boost speed and leave the base speed alone, for example leaving the base speed at 3.5ghz when I'm not playing games but when I am the CPU...

Hey guys i just built my pc everything seems to work and i got windows installed and it seems to be good. My case fans seem to be doing something odd. When i play a game only my case fans will start to turn on and off. The longer i play the faster it turns on and off. The type of fans are the...

Hello, I recently bought a high-end computer (7 months ago), but the problem is that on some demanding games (e.g. Cyberpunk, BF2042, RD2, Star Citizen, etc...) I couldn't play for more than an hour without a crash back to Windows (or in the worst case a complete PC crash). I didn't pay much...
