cooling

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...

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...

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...

Hello, So my laptop is a Dell XPS 17 9700 and recently I've had this issue where the laptop's fans would keep running even when the laptop is in sleep mode, and since I put my laptop in my bag, it heats up like crazy. Today was my worst experience yet, the laptop became so hot that I could not...

Can someone tel me if i have to return the cooler or is there an adapter to connect my motherboard and cpu pump Pcpart picker said everything was fine but the pump power cord is 3 pin hole side and the mother board had 4 pins but it also has a little blockage, am i supposed to remove that. How...

What in the past and the present has this been ( windows pc , vs Mac ) .. I would imagine Mac being hotter in temps.. since windows pc has water cooling / big heatsinks , bigger Cases and fans , and Mac is Usally Smaller ( im not Talking about laptops, but if you want to below, you can :-D...

In my understanding there is 1 cpu fan connector, 1 case fan connector and 1 water pump fan connector. So i can only put 1 or maybe 2 case fans on the motherboard?

I am building a mITX gaming pc. I have a z690m with a i5 12600k in the nr200. What cooling should I use? Water or aircooling? Budget is around 100 euros. Thank you in advance

Hi guys, just building my first PC. And I am stuck with the case fans. I have Arctic p14 3 pin fans and I am wondering do I need a fan controller for them?

I bought my pc like a year ago. Overheating started couple days ago. i noticed it while playing pubg and i had low fps in game all the time. Since then it overheates while playing basically any game. cpu temp raises up to 100c when playing for example pubg. Im not very good with pcs, i hope...

Hey guys I’m slowly building a using old and new parts this Friday I will have my new ram, cpu, mobo, and boot drive. I will be using my gpu, and psu off my old build. Which leaves a cooler and a case. Just so I can use the the system for a few weeks until I can get a proper cooler and case...

I've just upgraded to an MSI 3070 ti Gaming X Trio from an MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X and I'm noticing that my custom fan curve in MSI Afterburner doesn't let it stay at 0 RPM even though it's temps are below the point where the fans should start kicking in. I've also noticed that there's a yellow...

Hello i just build today and my kraken z63 didn't show the led temperatures and Even in my nzxt cam didn’t recognize

Hi all, I recently moved my AiO from the top of my case to the front as this provides much better airflow for my case. Before this I was idling around 50c and so also redid the thermal paste just to be sure and really tightened fully the connector so it had good contact. After this I managed...

Hey guys! So I just bought a 3080ti GIGABYTE and it is... pretty hot) Well actually it is not. But in order for to be at 71-75 the fans have to be spinning 100 percent. Which sounds like a jet taking off. So um... I'm trying to balance noise and temp. I'm using it in a Fractal Design R5 Window...

Hello all, I upgraded my Lenovo ThinkPad E520 from an i3-2330M to an i7-2860QM. The laptop runs fine with no issues but it does run very hot. Recently one of the USB ports stopped working and its located right next to the CPU. I think this happened because of too much heat. I don't want to...

Hey! I just ordered my 13900KF and I'm planning to use my Noctua NH-D15 to cool it but the reviews have me worried a bit as the CPU seems to get hot. Gaming is the heaviest workload I use my PC for. Thanks!
