CPU Coolers

Hello People of Tom's Hardware (Again)! A little over a year ago I posted about a heating issue for the i7 9700k and wanted some advice to cool it down. I resolved this issue by buying a mid-level AIO kraken cooler. Even so, I still have to bring my cooler down to about 4.3 mhz to get it to the...

My new cpu cooler isn't working because I can see the fan is not spinning. Earlier that day I had trouble installing it because the latch on it wasn't long enough to reach the mount until I forced it with lots of energy. New cooler - pccooler S83 Mobo: Gigabyte GA78LMTUSB3 R2 Cpu: AMD Fx-8350...

Hi Guys, Have a new build with a 7700k cooled by a NH-D15 with currently 2 corsair AF140 fans in my Phanteks Enthoo Pro M case. I would probably get better airflow and lower temps with the Noctua fans. The question I have is would it be worth the swap? I can still return the other fans btw. I...

I have an i7 4770 CPU and an MSI H81M-P33 motherboard. My CPU supports 16 PCIe lanes, but I have a x16 graphics card and a x1 sound card. I read somewhere that the chipset adds its own amount of PCIe lanes. So do I really support for 16 + the chipset amount? Or just 16 ?

So here's my scenario: • I want my chip to overclock to 4.7 GHz • I want at LEAST 5 years out of this chip • My PC isn't on 24/7. It'll be on 4 hours maximum week days, possibly more on weekends at most for daily use, unless I leave it on once in a while to render/video edit • I have an...
