cpu cooler

ok so 2 months ago i changed out my cpu cooler (Hydro Series H100x High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler) to a newer one (h100i elite capellix liquid cooler). It worked great till the other day. it seems to lose power every so often, like all lights shut off on it (pc Makes that noise of a device...

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! I ordered a new CPU cooler for my I7-8700K, the new CPU cooler being the Be Quiet Pure Rock 2. I installed it with a friend, he works at a PC repair shop so does this stuff for a living. I am no stranger to building pc's as well, so we were pretty confident...

I am having a weird issue i have not experienced before. I have replaced several cpu coolers before, usually without any problems. But this time it is acting weird. I removed the stock cooler, took out the CPU and cleaned the thermal paste from it, remounted the CPU, added new thermal paste...

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...

So I’ve been following a tutorial on how to build a pc but the installation of the cpu cooler really has me stumped. I’ve removed the two things you have to remove and have put the cpu in the spot it should be already. I’m also doing the criss cross pattern I’m being told to use and pushing a...

PLEASE HELP! My PC has randomly started overheating and crashing where it has to be forced powered off and has only gotten worse. My CPU temp not under load was 55-65 degrees C and 100 degrees under load when attempting to play a game. I replaced the CPU cooler with the Corsair iCUE H100i Elite...

I always prefer down-draft coolers, for the sake of VRM, memory, and chipset cooling. As I'm more interested in low-noise than maximum cooling, I'd rather not use additional fans expressly for that purpose. So far, it seems the Noctua NH-C14S tops the list. Are there any others I should be...

-My motherboard is a MSI X570 Meg Ace (AM4 CPU socket) -My pc case is a Cooler Master SL600m I need a cpu cooler that can be vertically mounted and compatible with my motherboard since my pc case is (bottom > top) exhaust I'm just concern that having a cpu cooler that moves air front to...

Hi there, currently in the process of choosing parts for a new PC and I'm torn between which cooler to choose. The two options are the Corsair iCue H100i RGB Pro or the H150i Elite RGB. The other parts that I've went with are: Case COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 MESH ARGB GAMING CASE Processor...

I recently bought the "ARCTIC Freezer A35" cooler for my "MSI B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4" motherboard and found out that my motherboard only has a JRGB2 slot, the fan is A-RGB. Is there a way I can still make the lighting work? Is there something out there that can convert A-RGB TO JRGB2? My Build...

After seeing reviews on this cpu it seems to draw a lot of power and now I'm doubting if my choice of cooler is enough. If it's not enough would the normal NH-D15 with two fans be enough? It's mostly for gaming and some photoshop / after effects, will likely try light overclocking but nothing...

Hey all, thanks for reading. Long time lurker first time poster. I've been using my 11th gen MSI Aegis RS 11TG-222US for about a year now. Basic specs: CPU Intel® Core™ i7-11700K Processor 8C/16T 3.6-4.9 GHz 16MB Cache Chipset Z490 Motherboard MSI ATX Motherboard CPU Cooler 240mm Liquid Cooler...

This case is really weird. You can only install a 155mm cpu cooler which is very low. According to some folks and statistics, the mugen 5 is the best low price/low height cooler. <-- Noctua might be better but is taller and more expensive. The issue is that it's 155mm tall, so now I have to...

Hi all, not to long ago I did some upgrades to my pc, upgrading to a ryzen 7 3700x and a nzxt kraken z63. Every time I booted it up, it would give me the cpu fan error so I unplugged it and tried again. Same thing. I tried re-positioning the pump and still not better. I just skipped past it and...

Hey! I bought an Aorus liquid cooler 360, installed it, everything is fine with Aorus Engine and RGB Fusion 2.0, everything is working. The pump cant detect my cpu type, write on the screen "AMD" cpu name but i have an intel i9-11900K. The cooler is used maybe this was first option or used...

Hi, plan is to uprgrade my PC with 5600 or 5600x. PC will be used for playing cpu heavy games like csgo and valorant on 1080p. I have a hard time choosing a motherboard and cpu cooler. I got 2 options, 1st option asus tuf b550 plus + scythe fuma (240$) and the 2nd option Asrock b550m pro +...

I have an Envinda X79-6M Motherboard (LGA 2011 - 0 ) and an Intel XEON E5-2690 CPU. It looks like this: View: https://imgur.com/a/2tYkWXX For the CPU Cooler, it comes with a plastic ring (looks a lot like AMD style) and four plastic screws. They look like this: View...

I have no idea what this noise is, its coming from my CPU cooler (99% sure it is) its really been bothering me as it can get quite loud, it only starts making this noise once my CPU reaches 70C+ Video of the noise: https://youtube.com/shorts/lgOHujLjrvI?feature=share (I pointed my phone towards...

hey guys so I dont have an ARGB header on my motherboard but i have an ARGB CPU cooler so what i was wondering was can i connect the argb fan header on my cpu cooler to the argb light strip header on my fan controller ? Your help will really be appreciated thanks.

Hello everyone! I bought an Intel Core i3-12100 (not the F version) together with a motherboard MSI PRO H610M-G DDR4. I am using the stock cooler from Intel and I think the temperatures are a bit too high? At idle it stays at 51 C degrees and while playing games it goes up to 80 C degrees. Most...

I bought Scythe Ninja 5 CPU cooler. My motherboard is Z690 Phantom Gaming 4/D5. 1. The mounting kit includes the 4-leg black material (is it called mounting base?). But under my motherboard, there already is a silver-colored thing attached (is it normal?). So if I additionally attach the black...

Hello, first off, I'm new to this forum and I'm currently working on my first PC. I'm sorry if a answer to this question already exists, but I haven't / couldn't find anything about it. So here's my question: I'm planning to buy the Pure Loop 2 from Be Quiet. I have a Deepcool Matrexx 70 3f...

I have an i5 11400 paired with a GTX 1650 Super, Before,I had a stock intel cooler installed and I noticed that as the summer came, The temperatures of the CPU started to touch 100 degrees C as I live in a hot region.. So I decided to upgrade to an aftermarket cooler and bought the Cooler Master...

This is my PC (R5 5600X + RX 570 + 16 GB 3600MHz DDR4 ) . I need a 1080p 144hz 1ms monitor suggestion . Again I will buy an Aio (Lian Li Galahad UNIFAN 240/360 ) and a 3in1 Deepcool gt 120 fans. I have 5 vacant spots in my casing till now . (Top 2, shroud 2 & back1 (will throw away current) )...

Hi, so I have a ryzen 7 3700x being cooled by a Noctua NH-D15 and the temperature seems to be fluctuating quite a lot. I previously had a cheap liquid cooler that packed up on me, so I decided to upgrade to the NH-D15, which at first seemed fine, however now even at idle, the CPU temp will...

Planning to build an mATX white theme PC build with Cooler Master TD300 case CPU - i7-12700 + B660 board GPU - Asus 1060 3GB (RTX 3070 in future) I researched and found that a good air cooler can do the work vs the cheap liquid coolers but if budget then go for a liquid cooler. Due to budget...

I am a complete novice. Do they exist just to make it look beautiful? Just for that? Or do they signal higher performance?

Hi, I've been looking for a budget air cooler for my R5 3600, I mostly only use it for gaming and the temps are around the high 70s, and on higher-end games like Cyberpunk it reaches 85 and gets a bit hotter after a couple of hours of playing as well. The problem is there isn't much...

So I installed a Scythe Fuma 2 on my 3700x and was getting good temps but had to redo some messy wiring in my pc and I just thought I would double check tightness on everything. I was able to tighten my cpu cooler a little more I guess since it ran and heated up the thermal paste. In hindsight...

So I purchased an Antec Neptune 120 which is compatible with LGA 1150 / 1151 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 1200 / 2011-V3 / 2066 (According to Antec website) Rookie mistake as I have an intel 12600kf (LGA 1700) Anyone know of any good work arounds ie. can I purchase one of these two and use that with...

As the title says I am planning to buy the Corsair LL120 fans but the issue is with my motherboard and casing. I have a very old PC. I am not quite sure if these fans connector will work with my PC. The main issue started with my CPU Cooler fan. I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212x CPU cooler...

Just upgraded my CPU from 2700 to 5800X. Turns out Wraith Prism barely hold the heat of this beast. Just a plain gaming is (not) fine. It can hold the heat, barely (85'C - 88'C). The problems are; 1) I usually do more than gaming in one time. And I'm also interested in overclocking the 5800X...

Just out of curiosity. I see traces on motherboards mere millimeters from mounting holes and am wondering if such a layout increases the risk of damge from forces imparted on the board from CPU coolers.

I built a new computer about 2 years ago (ryzen 9, noctua cpu fan) but due to personal things i could not use it. I am finally back home and can use it. However, i'm worried that maybe i should reapply the thermal paste that has been sitting in there for 2 years unused. Is that necessary or can...
