cooling

Hello, I have a new pc build and today one of the cooling fans at the top of the case started spinning slower and is making an annoying sound. Does anyone know what the problem may be? Here is a video I took of the fans running: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qI1IiZx9Hw

So I'm doing my first build right now and I have a question about how I should set up my fans for the best cooling and case pressure. I have a fractal design matx case that came set up with 2 120mm front fans for intake, and 1 120mm fan as rear exhaust. I purchased a 240mm aio so my question is...

Hello, this is my first time using an AIO (Z73 Kraken) and also the first time dealing with liquid temperatures, and was wondering if 40-ish celsius is normal at load? What are the safe temperatures for the liquid? I assume they are lower than cpu temps.

Hey, I'm replacing the heatsink in this laptop, but for some reason when I removed the old one, the contact points for thermal paste were all different colors and the CPU one looked like a weird texture. Take a look in the picture Anyone know why this is? Do laptops do something special with...

I am having some temperature issues. Can Silver Thermal Paste be applied on the HDD? Thanks in advance!

My GPU temp is normally around the high 30s, a perfectly fine temperature But when I start watching YT or putting it under any light load in general, the temperature goes up to like 55C I just built this computer this Monday so I don't know what's acceptable or not so please enlighten me if...

Hello, i recently upgraded to an Ryzen 7 5800x from a Ryzen 5 5600g.. im using an Cooler Master ML120L Aio Cooler, my temps skyrocket to 90c (max) while in cinebench.. i use Noctua NT-H2 as thermal paste.. in idle i get about 40c Opening any app can spike it up to 60c even 72c While gaming...

Hello, I recently just built my first pc, its built in a NZXT H5 Elite. The case comes with 3 fans, one in the bottom to cool the GPU, and two in the front. I then added two with my liquid cooler, and then one more in the rear as an exhaust. So, I have 6 fans all up. My motherboard I am using...

Hi guys, first time using Tom's Hardware. I have a MSI MAG 280r AIO CPU cooler for my Ryzen 7 5800x. I recently installed it like a week ago on the top of the case, as it was the only position possible for my case. Please note that this AIO has the pump built into the radiator, so I'm not...

Right now I'm using a Cooler Master tx3 from my old build and as in India it tends to get pretty hot in summers and on full load my cpu is already 76c , I want to upgrade to an aio, I'm new to the aio liquid cooling stuff, I have no idea what to get , I did some research though. I'm considering...

Hi all, did a similar thread a couple weeks back but I recently swapped out my cooler as it wasn't keeping temps in check for the chonky noctua to d15 and idle temps have improved drastically around 35 degrees but in stress tests its shooting up to 97 to 100 degrees in under a minute. Tried...

So i recently bought a new prebuilt PC with a i9 13900k and 4090 so it generates quite a bit of heat, im aware you can have 3 more fans at the top of the td 500 mesh as my radiator for my cpu cooler h150i elite lcd corsair is at the front and they only put in 1 exhaust fan at the back of the...

I have both a spare L9i and a spare stock AMD Wraith Stealth, and one of them is going into an entry level gaming PC for a non-tech-literate friend. I've heard that stock coolers aren't really garbage these days (I havent been building PCs regularly for many years), and both of these things are...

Hi guys I am currently using a I7 13700K on my Lian Li 215 Case. Due to Ram clearance My CPU cooler NOCTUA NHD15 CROMAX is mounted up side down. Meaning Fans are pointing towards the Top of the case. When On idle My temps are 40C. When gaming temps are somewhere in the...

I bought this cooler off of Facebook for $50. I set it up but I couldn't get the pump to work, as there's no pump detected in the BIOS and the CPU temperature rises to 95 C before throttling. I've attached a few images showing the setup, but I don't know what's wrong. -The SATA power and the USB...

Hi, I have a Ryzen 5 3600 paired with an Asus B450-A and a Thermaltake 240 AIO and my temps have gone from 40-50 °C at idle and 70-80 °C while playing, to 70-80 °C idle and when I try to play games (the CPU usage is about 40%) it shoots up to 110 °C and turns off. I already updated the bios...

I bought a EVGA CLCx 360mm AIO to cool down my 13900k. Even at stock settings for the CPU, I'm getting thermal throttling under stress tests. I find it weird because I'm not seeing these issues with other CPU Coolers, is there a chance I just got a defective one? Radiator and fans are top...

Hi everyone, I have recently moved house and when booting up a game I noticed some choppy frames and in idle noticed my fan speeds were a bit high. I replaced the thermal paste as it was a 2 year old hydronaut paste, and it got even worse (however the paste I reapplied was no name). I proceeded...

I am on a custom watercooling loop with 13900k and two Corsair 360mm radiators, XR5 and XR7. I made the mistake of buying the older ML120 PRO RGB fans. I just found out they have mediocre performance and performs worse than the non-RGB ML 120 fans. I don't think the current fans have enough...

Hi, I have an i7 4790S on a B85M-E motherboard and I'm trying to get all 8 threads (4 cores) to turbo to the max 4Ghz possible for this non-k cpu. In the bios I've tried: Synchronising all core speeds with 4Ghz max turbo Disabling intel speedstep Setting long duration power to 84W (the tdp of...

As the title states I have really high idle and load temps. I'm talking about 85°C while in the bios. I've checked that the pump works, the fans are spinning, its not dusty. I changed the thermal paste and checked that its properly mounted. Nothing seems to work, so I'm open for suggestions on...

Hi people, I've recently upgraded my GPU to 3090, but NH-D14s' fan clips don't allow to completely horizontal installation of the GPU. What should I do? Should I change my m.b? Is the distance between center of CPU to first PCIE lane equal in every main board type( Atx, eAtx , micro Atx)...

I’ve recently bought the NZXT Kraken X53 for my pc. I installed it and it doesn’t seem to be working. I’ve tried to put the 3 pin into the 4 pin AIO slot. Doesn’t work. Tried to put it in the 4 pin CPU Fan. I read on NZXT’s website that if you have a 4 pin slot you should keep the most right pin...

Hi, just had an AIO replaced via RMA, and don't want to go through it again, currently running my replaced AIO via Sata power through an adapter, I have heard keeping the AIO at a consistent speed is beneficial for life span. The cooler is a Lian Li Galahad 240mm. Thank you!

I am stumped. I bought my first H100i on January 1st. I put it together everything seems to be working fine, my temps are good, the LED on the cooler turned on then turned off and stayed off, other than that all is working well if not better. I then download iCUE my H100i shows up, so the...

id like to know which of these 2 laptop have better thermal and cooling i did notice that this legion also has coldfront 2.0

My laptop fans are often turned off, as I only ever use the laptop for light loads. However, sometimes on startup, and sometimes randomly, my fans will come on very powerfully (too much for the temperature my laptop is at). When they are on very loudly, there is a chance my laptop fans will...

Got a week old Asus Zehpyrus g15 (2021) AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS GTX 3080 32gig ram SSD 1 tb I wanted to add an additional SSD to the new slot - Samsung 970 Evoplus 2 tb (yes I need a lot for work and personal use) After installing the new SSD the temps went nuts in CPU and the new SSD. Although it...

Hello! I have an NZXT Kraken z63 cooling an i9-12900k on an MSI Z690 Edge motherboard. Only anomaly is that the micro USB that powers the cooler's LCD isn't plugged in, but I don't think that has any impact otherwise. My problem is that when I turn on my computer, the pump and fans kick on, but...

Is there anyway to easily improve the cooling in this? Could I just drill holes in it or point a small fan at it? I've seen elsewhere that I would eventually have to upgrade something inside, but would like to know if there is something quick and temporary.

I had two casing fans, One at front as intake and the other at back as exhaust. But recently I removed the front intake fan and moved it to the top but kept it as intake as before. The change is made because I was bothered with the led light of the fan as I couldn't focus on my work at night. I...

Hello, I bought a new CPU, put enough thermal paste on it and made the fan faster, but I still have high temperatures. When I'm not doing anything my CPU goes to 60 degrees celsius and when I play a heavy game it goes to 90-100 degrees I don't know what to do. My CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X Cooler...

Hello, I have the following problem with my current setup: Mobo: MSI X570 Tomahawk Wifi (latest BIOS) CPU: Ryzen 5900X Cooler: Corsair H115i RGB Platinum Case: Corsair 500D RGB Fans: 4 case fans : Corsair LL 120 2 fans on AIO cooler: Corsair LL 120 When I'm trying to setup a...

My computer has a Ryzen 9 7950x CPU and I'm using the Noctua NH-D15S air cooler to cool it. When I browse the internet, the fan speed is usually at 100% and when this happens, the average temp is around 75 degrees. With how fast the fan is spinning, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do...

i have an old H60 2013 model from a 4690k build but just upgraded to a amd 5800x, was wondering if i can fit it on with one of the AMD mounting brackets ?

I just built a new pc, and there is really loud and annoying noise coming from the radiator/fans, is this normal or do I have faulty item or something ? I'm doing top mount, so I guess there shouldn't be any bubbles. and I'm talking while pc in idle and all temps around 30C. here is what it...

Which one is the best for a Ryzen 5 5600G, Masterbox td500L case the NZXT X53 or MasterLiquid ML240 Illusion ?

Will the corsair ICUE h60i pro xt 120mm be good enough to cool i5 12600k? Cant fit a 240mm radiator in case and big aircoolers wont fit to. I am not planning to overclock.

Was playing a game and left my PC on while I napped for an hour. Woke up to my fans spinning really loudly. Restarting PC didnt do anything. MSI Center's fan control didn't do anything. Changing POWER Options to Power Saver etc. didnt do anything, neither did changing the fans speed through BIOS...
