    Question Cooler for Ryzen 5 7600x

    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

    Laptop fan sped up randomly while not doing anything - Likely thermal paste issue?

    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...

    [SOLVED] Why my GTX 1080 Ti runs hot under no load ?

    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...

    [SOLVED] Heat sink for Samsung NVME drives

    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...

    [SOLVED] Does a Sabrent NVMe 4.0 M.2 need a heatsink if it’s used with a PCIe3 motherboard?

    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...

    [SOLVED] Computer slower after CPU upgrade, is overheating the problem?

    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...

    Question Adding heatsinks on external SSD

    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...

    Question Low or high voltage RAM?

    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...
