heatsink

Hello everyone, Recently I have started to face a very strange behavior from my CPU. My Intel 4790K shows spikes in clock speed and CPU usage every few secs. I can see that most of the background process sits at 0% usage but still my usage changes from 3-6-12-14-19 and keeps repeating this...

So I recently got a new mobo (Gigabyte Auros B450I wifi pro), heatsink (Noctua NH-L12S), fans and case but I ran into a problem of my Noctua A12x15 PWM fan that came with the heatsink will not spin past POST. I did some tweaking to fix: Reseat the connector Reset BIOS swapped fans used UEFI fan...

hi, my cpu cooler - hyper 212x , my cpu - i5 4670k, i want to use "Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Flüssigmetall-Wärmeleitpaste " liquid metal thermal compund between my cpu and cpu cooler heatsink, is it safe? is there any aluminum in that portion of heatsink which directly contact cpu and where...

I decimated a screw holding my laptop heatsink down and need to cut off a small steel joint between the heatsink and stripped screw to remove the heatsink. It is held down by 3 other similar screws. Would it be safe to leave the cut-off screw disconnected from the heatsink? If I tried to solder...

Hi, I have a laptop that has been functioning fine for aa long as i got it. However recently It has started to shutdown constantley when doing heavy tasks. I downloaded some software and noticed that CPU is hitting temperatures on avergae 90 - 100 celcius before shuting down. I gave it in to...

Hi People! I have gotten help here before many times by reading other questions. I cant seem to find any answer to my question though. So, i need a heatsink for my nvme ssd. It is getting very hot 80+ degrees. but my motherboard already has something underneath the ssd and i cant seem to...

I'm finally in a position where I can build a desktop, and was lucky enough to snag a 3070. I want to liquid cool my build primarily for aesthetic/fun project reasons with a secondary focus on performance and noise reduction. Therefore I'm going to build a primarily Barrow and alphacool loop...

Hi guys, im looking to change my old stock cooler and i was wondering how much weight can my motherboard take. I am currently looking at some coolers with net weight 440 grams. MB: AsRock hm61-vg3 (https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H61M-VG3/index.asp ) CPU: i5-3350p (no overclocking) Case...

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing fine. I'm writing this post because I've noticed in many different videos and pictures that the Noctua NH-12UA heatsink was always installed having a specific direction in mind. What so happens is that I installed my cooler in the exact opposite way, compared...

So I recently purchased an EKWB heatsink for my 970 Evo Plus 500GB and read basically everywhere that the NAND on the drives prefer to be hotter while the controller wants it to be cooler. My question is, would it be ideal for me to just cut enough for the thermal pad to cover just the...

Hey so i got a delided cpu but i wasnt sure if i should put the grizzly conductonaut on top of the ihs aswell ? So between the liquid cooler and the top of the ihs, or just on the die and the bottom ihs.

Dell Inspiron 15 5000 CPU: i7-8550U GPU: Radeon 530 My laptop's cooling solutions is overall quite terrible, max CPU temps of ~99°C, temperature immediately shoots up when hit with a load, and constant thermal throttling when under load. Perplexingly, highest I've seen GPU go up to is...

Hello everyone, I've got a problem that's making me very anxious. Yesterday I built my PC and after setting everything up and installing Windows I realised the cooler was installed the wrong way and was butting into the space of the RAM. I turned off the PC, unplugged the PSU and reinstalled...

I'm new to m.2 nvme ssd and i just bought adata ssd SX8200 Pro 2TB which included it's own heatsink and my motherboard is Z390 aorus pro wifi which also included it's own heatsink that they call thermal guard. There is not many info about each of these included heatsink. So which one is better...

I have a Cryorig H7 but lost the screws and backplate and cant seem to find one online that ships to ireland so im wondering is there another backplate compatible with the heatsink and my mobo? Mobo: Gigabite Z390 Heatsink: H7 Cryorig

So after a lot of research and tutorials I decided to swap my laptop's thermal paste. It's a 9th Gen Intel Laptop of Zephyrus M so it doesn't have a liquid metal thermal paste. I removed the back panel. I saw the warranty sticker on one of the heatsink screws. I tried to peel it off. But It just...

Hello, I was thinking of using liquid metal instead of the pre-applied thermal paste that was sent with the card. I know I shouldn't use liquid metal on aluminum heatsinks since it will create an alloy between gallium and aluminum. I just want to know what metal is used exactly in my Evga 2080ti...

So, i recently built my potato setup: i5-4690 stock ECS H81H3-MV Cooler Master Hyper i30 (3pin, plugged on to CPU_FAN header) 8GB DDR3 1600 Mhz RAM MSI RX 570 Gaming X 4GB stock WD Caviar Blue 500GB 7.2K RPM FSP Hexa+ 500W Just did a fresh windows 10 pro installation, problem is, the cpu fan...

I am about to "preliminarily" clean my PC case and it's various other parts (mobo,ram,CPU heatsink, fans etc) and I have a couple of lingering questions: 1. Can I use a material similar to a shoe brush, it's hairs are approximately 4-6 inches, will it induce an ESD shock to the component or do...

So I have had my pc for about 5 years now. Recently it has been struggling with an overheating problem so I decided to do a dust cleaning and reapply thermal paste. Even browsing on chrome has my pc in the mid 50's Celcius which im pretty sure is bad. It has come to a point where playing some...

Hi all! I bought an Asus Rog Strix X570-E Gaming mobo a few days ago, and a new Ryzen 7 2700x CPU. (everything else stayed the same from my older pc (gtx 980, m.2 ssd, 2x4gb + 1x8gb ram, 1tb + 500gb hdd)). The problem is that in HWinfo the chipset is getting too hot, it is 60-66C. The chipset...

Hey there. First time builder here... I recently got an Asrock X570 Taichi mobo so I could take advantage of the speedy hardrive capabilities of the m.2 NVME 4 SSD.2 / PCIE 4 situation. The issue I have run into is that the NVME drives I bought have a thick heatsink on them (Inland Performance...

As said my processor has 4c/8t . Before repasting every core hit 95-100c during stress tests with 60W Pl . After repaste I pretty much got my core 2 and core 3 down to high 70s to mid 80s but core 0 and core 1 remains at 90-94 c .Under combined load of gpu and cpu per say while gaming ..Core 2...

Got this desktop PC with its stock Heatsink/cpu cooler. (Cooler Master) Took the MB out tried in the new case to realise that there isn't a back plate for the Heatsink/cpu cooler to sit in. In the old case the bracket that holds the heatsink/cpu cooler is chassis part of the case meaning the...

So I might have gone a little overboard since I'd rather have too much instead of too little. I didn't think about the heatsink wouldn't cover the whole chip so I guess I should have put it on the heatsink like the instructions said but now I have excess on parts of the cpu not covered. Should I...

I haven't done anything different than I have before, but this time when I applied new thermal paste, my pc launches and sends me to setup where I see the CPU temp which is skyrocketing. I did check and the cpu fan was running. There's enough thermal paste on it and the heatsink is on good. I...

I have upgraded to a GTX 1080 plus and 9600K CPU(not overclocked). I am using a Phanteks Evolv shift case and when the glass panel is on, the CPU temps reach 80-90 Degrees on load, playing Rdr2 ultra @ 1440p. The GPU goes up to 82 degrees and does not go past that. I am not sure if I should...

Hello everyone, Hope I can get some insights from my question below and help me decide what to do. I'm building a new RIG (current is under my signature) with the following: Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor (Bought already) Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACK 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler Asus ROG...

Hey guys, I got a Dell optiplex 390 recently, going to install a simple graphics card (GT720) and some more RAM. I have noticed that the chipset (not exactly sure what this is) doesn't have a heatsink on it. I touched it after playing an old game (Stronghold 1 HD) and almost burned myself...

Hello modding community, I have a Dell Precision T3500 with a Xeon X5650 and the lower end aluminium heat sink without the copper heat pipes. My CPU is running hot and I will change the thermal paste however I have a Arctic F8 80mm fan on the back which does nothing to lower the temps of the...

I currently have the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. Needed to do some upgrading on this system, so I purchased two 8GB sticks of memory to add to the existing two 4GB sticks to make 24GB. I go to install the memory today and discover that the heatsink on this unit overhangs the slot and I cannot...

hi guys and gals. have an issue with my pc shutting down. replaced the thermal paste as it all dried out. pc lasted 3 days wth no problems (only lasted 20 minutes beofre i replaced the paste). downloaded wolfstein 2 and it died after 1hr of gameplay. so i decided it was time to replace some...

Hi So yesterday my trusty old gaming pc started acting up. It started with a crash a "blue-screen" and when I googled my erro-code and it said that i had some temperature problems. At first i didn't think much of it as my computer had been running for like 24 hours so i wasn't very surprised so...

Silly question. If I remove my CPU Heatsink, VRM heat sinks, GPU Heatsink and fans and all my fans from my case. Then proceeded to run them under water and brush them gently with a toothbrush. Dry them with a hair dryer and some Q-Tips and let them set for a day or two. Would they all work...

Well guys I messed up and jumped on a quick deal with Newegg for a 9700k ASRock Z390M pro 4 motherboard combo without doing any research. I knew the board was low end and is only meant to hold me over a few months until I buy a high end board but I had no idea the VRM heatsink was so terrible...

I just finished building my rig, Im running a ryzen 5 3600x on it with a hyper 212 Black Edition cooler. On idle I get around 45 degrees and under load I sometimes hit 90, Should I worry?>?

Hey there, does anybody here have a setup up with these two components included? I'm planning on getting these two on my build, I'm planning on placing two fans on the NH-U14S in push pull, but will there be any RAM clearance issues with this on the Z390 Aorus Ultra?

https://photos.app.goo.gl/ACyZjo6DCBuPcrMA8 I am thinking of other ways to improve my GE60 2QD Apache's heat dissipation. I plan to retrofit upgrade my heatsink with 3 more heatpipes and heat fins with thermal adhesive as well as applying better thermal paste, and i was wondering if the...
