Hi My computer sleep has started acting up. I often use sleep, when I don't need to use my computer some time. I only shut it down over night (it's a desktop with latest 64-bit windows 11, all updates installed) Lately this happens a lot but not always: Often when I return and try to wake up...

when i plugged in charger without any other application opened, MSI after burner shows GPU: 300Mhz Mem: 6000Mhz temp: 85-92 c But when i unplug charger its quite fine. GPU: 1455mhz Mem: 810mhz temp 55-65 c I tried uninstalling driver switching os too, but nothing worked for me.

So i built new PC and wanted to ask if my idle temperatures are normal because i have a strange feeling they are a bit too high. My case is BeQuiet Pure Base 500dx and im using arctic liquid freezer III 360 in front with fans as intake, 2 fans on top and 1 rear as exhaust, fans are on auto...

Hi long story short, I need to repad my 3070 could anyone help? I couldn't find anything regarding correct sizes for the MSI 3070 2X. I did find something on official MSI website, 2.25 and 2.75. I installed them correctly, but the GPU goes to 85c the moment the PC boots . What size pads do I...

Hi, a year ago I undervolted my 3070 MSI 2x, since it was overheating to 83 degree when playing basically anything, and idle at 50+ Lately I installed windows 11 and ofc had to reconfigure the undervolt, but this time it didn't work at all. The temps just don't drop anymore and After changing...

I see plenty of discussions on Tom's reviews about the power efficiency of various GPUs. That's a good topic, but for my system 99 hours out of 100 or more it's actually just browsing the web or 2D architecture or maybe in TurboTax. On Windows. Where can I go to see how the cards perform in...

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! My aim is to reduce the power consumption and heat production of my PC. I want to install 2 graphics cards. I have an old card and I'd like to buy a newer, better one which consumes more power and produces more heat. For non-CAD work, I'd use the old card and power off the new...

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...

Hay, I've recently got a new pc and everything looks great but the CPU temp. I'm getting around 40-50 degrees celsius on idle but when I launch something like cinebench it goes over 100 degrees in about 3 seconds from start and then I just stop the benchmark because I don't want to ruin the CPU...

I recently noticed my Ryzen 5 5600G was running at 55C after any light/medium gaming. Iis this too hot or no ? Only thing I have running is a tab with cookie clicker and a live wallpaper abt 17-20% is this a bit hot and is it probably just a thing like thermal paste or turn up my fans. thx in...

XFX 6700 XT Speedster Qick hotspot temperature question So I've had this card for about a year now, and for the most part everything has been fine. However recently I noticed the hotspot temperature shot up briefly in some areas of certain games, particularly Everspace 2 and Mechwarrior 5. In...

OK, so i dont even know what happened, suddenly my pc started acting weird, lagging, could not even start an app, i booted game and it took forever. this was going on about 15-20 minutes, i tried everything(to find problem) then i checked temps and CPU was running at 100c, i shut it down waited...

hey there, gonna buy a second hand modem which has Qualcomm chipsets and a medium sized heat sink, the problem is im not sure whether the paste on chipsets is still alive. from a video he has uploaded, you can see that weird blue paste. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoW6dCgkL8c&t=342s...

Hello, recently my brother replaced the cooling paste on my laptop (Without me knowing). Afterwards ive noticed that my cpu is warmer then before. My guess is that the cooling paste was applied incorrectly.. I've never tried fixing something like this before. Is this hard? I guess 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...

It's been a long time since I've posted here, so I'm sorry for that. But good news, I have finally built a much-needed new computer to replace my old which had a GeForce 1070 Ti Duke and an Intel Core i7-6700K. At the time, it was decent, and actually still runs current games okay (on all low...

Hey Tom's Hardware community, I recently assembled a PC that is experiencing heat management concerns, particularly due to rising ambient temperatures during the summer season. I am reaching out to seek your expert advice and recommendations on addressing this issue effectively. Below are the...

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

I have an Asus Dual RTX 2060 Advanced (DUAL-RTX2060-A6G) since release year (2019) one week ago I replaced the thermal paste with this one and thermal pads for these ones (2.0mm) it helped on decrease temperature around 10-15°c (not that much) Everythings doing well but this past 2 days my PC...

Hi guys i have pc with intel i5 11-600k (3.9Ghz so stock) and intel basic/stock cooler. Well my pc is getting very loud, so i reach out to bios settings and i dont know how to set the cpu fan curve to optimal. Now it's "Default" as it says.

There not many options at my location, but I was wondering if the ID SE-226-XT would be fine for the R5 7600x? Other option could be the Be Quiet Shadow Rock 3 or Dark Rock Slim for a few dollars more, but then other cooler are twice as much and not worth the price in my opinion

So i fixed one problems but met another, i recently reset my entire system bc i just wanted to get rid of the bloatware and stuff. Unfortunately after the reset my pc seems a bit more clunky and laggy? In games i get small but repetetive noticable lag spikes, my usages are good except the cpu...

When upgrading my ram, I noticed my default stock ram comes with a silver sheet stuck on both sides of it. I'm guessing it's some sort of heat solution thing. I bought new ram sticks from crucial and they don't come with this silver sheets? Do I need to stick these on one of my new RAM sticks?

I have a Gigabyte RTX3070 TI that does not display nothing, and the fans do not spin even at system startup. It apears that it heats up quickly at the instant i start the system but it does nothing else. The system i am testing it with i know it is a working one because i pluged other GPUs and...

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 I’m having trouble with my overheating cpu in my hp laptop. The laptop is 10 plus years old running windows 10. The cpu is a i7- 3740qm and the laptop has a gt650m gpu. The gpu temps are ok it’s just the cpu. It idles at 65-70 and hits 100 plus during light use or gaming like csgo or tf2...

By now I know this MSI B560M-A PRO mobo is power limit throttling my processor, which is expected because I'm currently using Intel's stock cooler... This PL throttling is hindering the CPU's performance... I know the 11400 can be a lot faster than it already is. If I were to go into the UEFI...

Hello friends About the Laptop available by ASUS, it for the Zenbook category, exists 3 sub-categories Zenbook Pro Zenbook S Zenbook For these 3 branches, the processors available are based on: Intel® Core™ iX for 10 or 12 generation AMD Ryzen XXX Normally all my laptops and PCs are based...

So I have an Asus Tuf fx505dy and since 2 days, my laptop seems to just turn off (like when someone holds the power button) and restarts while gaming. After looking online there might be multiple causes like, the battery may be faulty(i replaced it 6 months ago), or the hard drive or the cpu may...

I've bought a GIGABYTE GV-N950WF2OC-2GD Graphics Card 2 years ago. Back then, I don't remember if I had any problem with its cooling system or the GPU temp. But now it heats up to 78 C GPU and 87 C for hot spot (reported by GPU-Z) when playing games. It heats that much even in medium-light games...

GPU started doing this during the 40c UK heatwave earlier this year, not been able to figure out the issue or how I could go about fixing it, Anyone able to tell me anything about this? My ambient room temperature on the day it happened was probably pictures of my monitor in link In device...

I got this aluminum laptop stand to allow my laptop to be raised and noticed it slightly tilts my laptop slightly downwards so I have to tilt my screen more upwards to see at eye level. Would this downward tilt reduce the flow of the air coming out of the laptop since it's slightly angled this...

I bought the Legion 7 6th gen last November. There have been many times where I'd leave it plugged in for hours at a time with a high performance game running in the background. Fans would be on high with hardly any air intake with temps in the 90s C due to me stupidly leaving the laptop on my...

Recently i noticed an increase in my CPU temperature it used to be around 36 degrees Celcius but now its constant at 44 and the smallest things send it to 50. Browsing Firefox or Youtube used to keep it at 44 degrees The load on my CPU also doesn't go higher than 2% when it gets warmer My CPU...

Since I've got my aio cooler (Kraken x63 280mm) it's always been a relatively lower temperature than other people I've seen. I have a ryzen 7 3700x and the aio is mounted on the front of my pc with the fans on the inside pulling the air in. The case is quite cramped because I'm waiting on...

Hi guys, I think that there are some problems with my graphic card among the system components i have just gathered, but i wanted to consult you because i am not sure. 1- When PC is opening, the graphic card fans automaticity working for 15-20 seconds, card already cold, so i don't know why...

Ok so this is going to be a weird one, recently I bought an RTX 3070 Ti, the GPU is awesome but it emits a lot of heat (which is normal actually). The thing is, during the summer temperatures in my town rarely drop below 30 degrees Celsius, which is quite unpleasant. Add the heat from the GPU...

Is it normal for my CPU to jump from average temperature of 50 Degrees to 100 Degreed in literally 1 second? I was trying to perform a Stress Test, My CPU was at 50-52 Degrees, but the second I click on Start Testing, the temperature goes up to 100 Degrees and the CPU thermal throttles. Any clue...
