heatsink

Hey everyone, I know this might sound a bit stupid, but I had no choice due to time constraints and a lack of options. Here’s my situation: I couldn’t find a fan that perfectly fit my CPU heatsink, so I decided to use zip ties to mount a new fan onto it. I know it’s not ideal, but I really...

So everything works fine but the left fan making noise, from the sounds of it, because the fanblades are having contact with the metal heatsink whenever my pc go into cpu hungry tasks and the fan will go faster. Deepcool AG400 Plus has 2 fans, each attached on left and right side of the...

Hi, I was just wondering if the heatsink of a graphics card or processor would be possible, if so please recommend me the paint. also will it effect the temp?

any recommendations of normal slim heatsinks? I'm planning on getting the SSD for my system, but don't have any current heatsinks since I have a prebuilt Also, i never bought a heatsink before, any thoughts on which of the listed heatsinks are better? Im planning on using amazon for the one...

Hello all, are the pins on this SSD heatsink for the Asus ROG Strix B450-I entirely necessary? What exactly do they connect to? Obviously if they are then of course one is missing. Thanks for your help.

I have a Samsung 990 Pro 1TB and I bought a Hiksemi M.2 SSD Cooler Heatsink - HS-RADIATOR-MH1. I need to know if it would fit into my Precision 3630.

Hello, Is it true that samsung 990 pro with heatsink or without works good in a gigabyte b450m ds3h v2?

Under the cpu fan and the heatsink exhaust, there was a something that is like a light tape of sponge. But they are gone now. I think from heat. View: https://imgur.com/a/T3F8qQ8 View: https://imgur.com/a/qhp8xUT Those pieces, what are the name of them and are there alternative I could use...

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...

Hello, I am very new to PCs and know almost next to nothing when it comes to the hardware, anyways I took my pc to my sisters house(which i now know you are supposed to take out some components cuz they get damaged) and everything was working the same, played some baldurs gate/cyberpunk and the...

Hello! I was new to building my PC a few years ago and its now overheating. Silly question but I have no experience and need to apply new thermal paste but haven’t got the CPU manual.

Hey, I'm replacing the heatsink in this laptop, but for some reason when I removed the old one, the contact points for thermal paste were all different colors and the CPU one looked like a weird texture. Take a look in the picture Anyone know why this is? Do laptops do something special with...

Hello, everyone. My contact points of my Hyper 212 LED fan just broke. Therefore I can't attach it to the heatsink anymore. I was looking at Coolermaster's website. And I could only see fans for the Hyper 212 Black or EVO. Are those fans worse or basically the same? And can I use them with my...

Hello, I'm building my own compact CPU heatsink with a copper plate for the CPU and heat pipes attached to an aluminum heatsink. I intend to put it together with thermal glue. I'm looking for a copper plate or block. Is there an optimal thickness? How about this...

I have an old laptop that I have no use for anymore and want to turn it into a mini-DIY desktop but I was curious as to how I could upgrade the cooling solution. I also want to upgrade the CPU from an i7-2760QM to an i7-2960XM (45W to 55W). Are there any particular parts (laptop-tailored that...

After experiencing computer shutdowns (either complete power outage or sudden bluescreen errors), which I partly suspect overheating as the cause, I am thinking perhaps I need to get a motherboard which prevents overheating. But I am a complete novice. I will buy i9-13900K. So the motherboard...

Hi TH, I am quite confused, should I remove the stickers? Or just the green one only? Mobo : z490f image: https://ibb.co/W2NDcNq https://ibb.co/bvqs7f

Here I am again with a question, as I am unable to find an answer. So few days ago I got a GTX 1660 Asus TUF Gaming OC and the card is doing phenomenal for my 1080p gaming on high needs. What bothers me are the temperatures. This card is HOT. And when I say hot I mean 85-90 degrees when...

Hey, i opened my laptop first time for cleaning it and saw oil/greese type of leak on it not able to wipe it off what may be the cause of this and what is this is it harmful for my laptop in long run?

Hello everyone, I was leaning towards pairing an i9-11900k with the Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Pro AX (rev. 1.0). However, I realized that part of the VRM of the motherboard is not covered by the heatsink, as seen in the picture attached( image ). Will it be a problem when it comes to temperatures...

I have a Asus Prime A320M-K motherboard and I was thinking of buying a Seagate FireCuda 530 NVMe SSD with heatsink, but from what i'm seeing the NVMe slot is literally right behind the graphic card and i'm afraid it won't fit. Does anyone have this problem or surely it will fit ? The dimensions...

Hello, everyone. I hope you are fine. I've bought an MSI b660m Mortar Wifi for a 12400. I don't have an m2 ssd, but a regular sata ssd, the brick one. In the video below, at 4:00, the op removes a sticker that is under the 1st m2's heatsink. Do I have to remove it as well if i ain't using one...

Hello guys, I just want to ask if it is okay to remove one heatsink (the one with MAG in it) from the motherboard because my CPU Cooler Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 A-RGB couldn't fit on the case , I tried putting it back on after finishing putting the cooler but I couldn't so I just let it that...

I have a Ryzen 3 3100 CPU with stock fan/heatsink. I just ordered a 5800X which comes w/o a cooler. Can I reuse my old cooler on the new CPU or do I need something more powerful? TIA.

Hi...I just got my Samsung 980 500GB m2 NVME ssd (not pro) and Im very skeptical on the heatsink to buy for it . Ive heard its crucial for the rising temperatures . Any recommendations ? Note:The width can't exceed 0.87 inch as my motherboard wont allow it .

I have a Zotac GTX970 that I have had either since '13 or '14. I can't remember which year it was released, I purchased it brand new around the time of the cards debut. Anyway, I have started to notice the card is getting STUPIDLY hot playing some of the most minimally demanding games, such as...

I have the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53. View: https://imgur.com/a/qdex3iv The laptop I got had overtightened screws, I had no choice but to yank it out because there was just no other way. Where would I find replacement screws for my model? Does anyone know where I can buy them cheap? I'm looking...

To people who had experiences with custom loops and using AIO's...is a custom loop worth it? Does it make a big difference compared to AIO's? Care to share some of your experiences and thoughts about this subject...I really would like to know if it gives a big benefit in the real world...

Title says it all, is it worth it to pay extra for m.2 drives that come with a heatsink model? Is the integrated heatsink far better than just the m.2 heatsink included in some motherboards? And is there a big temperature improvement overall? Especially in the real world....

I'm planning to re-paste my laptop with arctic silver 5 soon, it seems it needs to be replaced every 9 months for my case. What I'm wondering is do higher sustained temperatures cause the paste to dry faster/become less efficient quicker? Is it ok to run games that cause high CPU temperatures...

I'm pretty new on PC hardware stuff so I'm at a loss here. Pardon if I look like an idiot. My CPU drops while in-game recently (I think, I don't really check on task manager while gaming so I'm not sure when this start to happen, I figured this out by accident) from 3.00 GHz to as low as 1.00...

Hello everyone, I recently came into ownership of an ROG Maximus Apex X Z370 motherboard. The owner before the last owner clearly used it for LN2 overclocking as all of the boards heatsinks are missing and the back of the board is sticky in all the right spots. Anyway, the board is missing the...

So I just bought the ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II AMD AM4 motherboard and an AMD Ryzen 5 5600x cpu. The cpu came with a stock heatsink and fan that I had planned to use.

Basically, I know you can connect 3 pin fans to 4 pin headers in the Mobo, but if I buy a replacement fan for my CPU heatsink (old one is rattling and is a cheapo so I can't open it to fix the issue), will it be able to regulate it's speed by itself and not let my CPU overheat?

I am changing the heatsinks on my G,Skill Ripjaws ram and one side of the stick has no chips on it, just foam tape to fill the gap and I assume separate sensitive parts from the metal heatsink. Where can I buy this and what is it called? Does it have any specific function like heat dissipation...
