heat dissipation

I've been monitoring my primary and secondary nvme drives on my pc. Using HDD sentinel I've noticed that thise drive heat up to 50c (primary) and 40-45c (secondary) - this happens when I was playing black ops6 (I know that Activision can't optimise it) and monster hunter world. Originally I...

My specs :- Gigabyte GTX 1660 (non Ti) I5 12400f (stock cooler) Gigabyte b660m gaming ddr 4 mobo My Question :- I am mining salad io on my pc so my GPU goes 75 c not more than that but I am worried if my GPU is running at these temperatures 24/7 will it damage it or reduce it lifespan or should...

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

It wasn't to the max fan speed but it did speed up where it was audible for a few seconds, went back to normal after that. I have no background applications or anything whatsoever, just chrome. This happens maybe once a month. I did do a thermal repaste a few months ago for the first time and...

So i disassembled the ps3 i just bought today to replace thermal paste of it. When i tried to take the mobo out, it wouldn't so i searched web for it. Found a forum about it and the comments were saying wiggle more it will come out so did i. But heat spreader of gpu or cpu idk came out and dye...

I just bought a used 1080Ti and noticed under full load it was reaching temperatures of high 70s using the normal fan curve, so I created a more aggressive one with the fans at about 75% to keep it to low 70s. That's fine but the fans are pretty loud at this level. To test the heat dissipation...

I have two Samsung NVME drives: the 980 Pro 1TB and 970 Evo Plus 500GB. The mobo I have doesn't come with a heat sink for the top M.2 slot (I'm installing the Pro there), so I'm looking at some 3d party options. It looks like the EK heat sink will fit the drive, but I wanted to get some feedback...

I’ve heard that gen4 m.2 drives can generate a lot of heat which can throttle performance and degrade them over time (I’m more concerned with the lifetime of the drive). Current motherboard has PCIe 3 so drive will be limited to 3400 read and 3000 write. Will this speed limit keep the drive...

So I upgraded my Dell Precision T7160 from a Intel Xeon E5-2609V2 to a Intel Xeon E5-2630V2 & at first everything seemed fine & there was a performance jump. But now everything seems to run slow with bits of stutter from time to time. I ran a Prime95 CPU stress test & watched temperatures for...

Hey there, everyone. I don't know if there's any sort of solution to this that I'm not seeing and would greatly appreciate the help or any sort of advice in helping to understand what's going on. I recently purchased an Antec P101 Silent case because I was wanting to quiet down my air-cooled PC...

Hi everyone, I just need a bit of advice. I just bought a prebuilt system, this one: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-gaming-ballista-gaming-pc-for-doom-eternal-amd-ryzen-5-amd-radeon-rx-fs-1cy-og.html#t=d4f2 I upgraded it to the Rx 5700xt. It works like a dream but I've noticed that it...

Hello Everyone, I am using a laptop within Intel 6200u i5 , 8gb ram and 480gb SSD. It is 3.5 years old. Intel HD 520 gpu So i thought of putting new paste, before applying my temp was max 75 degree when playing games and from 45-55 max when using laptop. I bought a PCCOOLER GT-1 paste and...

Hi, I bought an SSD with an enclosure. I have noticed that the SSD gets too hot while using. Now after installing the SSD in the enclosure, there is some clearance between the SSD and the enclosure at the top (approx. 5mm). So I thought that if I could use that clearance by installing some...

To ask this is a 'newbie' way, "What is better"? Low voltage RAM produces less heat and consumes less energy. While overclocking, what are you looking to do, lower or increase the RAM's voltage? You want to increase it, so you could clock your RAM's frequency higher and have it working at a...

I have DH61WW Motherboard. Recently I bought GTX 1060 graphics card and it makes so much heat. So I am planning to buy one liquid cooling system. Since Corsair hydro H45 meets my budget, I would like to buy that But I don't know that compatibility with my motherboard. If it is not gonna...

Hi All, i have Ryzen 3 1200, recently replace the Wraith cooler with Deepcool Gammaxx 400, i decided to replace with after-market cooler based on it's good credibility and reviews out there, however i barely see any difference in performance with the stock wraith cooler. Both have idle temps...

I have to mount my SSD with the logo upside down, will it affect anything
