Heatsink + Fan

Intel® Core™ i7-9700K I now idle on 70-90 and when I use browser it reaches 105 from the previous 60-70 idle... What's the deal with this?

I just installed a Noctua NH-D15 cooler and it is pressing on my ram heatsinks when I put the side pane on. Does this matter? I did see a similar question on here and the solution suggested that the fan vibration would slowly damage the ram, but didn't explain why. Can anyone second that or is...

Recently I got an aftermarket CPU fan cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition CPU Air Cooler Now the issue I have is that I want to utilize all four RAM slots on my motherboard but the cooler fan blocks one of the RAM slots just slightly. Am I allowed to shift the fan on the...

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...

So i've seen a few horror stories of trying to remove the cooler and ripping the cpu out with it, i took some thermal paste off it accidently when i installed it a few days ago so its running a bit hot and to fix this i've ordered a replacement improved cpu cooler and thermal paste but im a bit...

I'm really confused by the temps I get with the r7 3800x, when I benchmark my CPU with Prime95 for longer then 10min. it gets 90 degrees(also happens when gaming but only on modern games like COD:MW). I'm using the noctua NH-d15s and the Sharkoon TG4 case. The Three Fans in the front are intakes...

So I was building my pc and my stock heatsink wouldn't line up so when I was lining it up the stock thermal paste accidentally smudged against the cpu. I figured it would even out when i squished it down so I kept it, should I go to Best Buy and get new thermal paste to be safe or am I good...

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...

Hey all, I recently purchased a prebuilt and was noticing VERY high CPU temperatures when checking with coretemp and open hardware, as in like 110-115C and I immediately shut it off. This was the first time I ran it. Even when doing idle tasks such as opening up discord or a browser it ramps...

Hello everyone, how are you? So, as the title suggests, I am trying to figure out if the direction of my heatsink can decrease my temps a bit as summer is approaching here in Brazil. This was the second PC I ever built, but I was still unexperienced in a lot of things regarding building. Here...

So I'm trying to make my 1080 ti last until the 3 series cards come out (no, not interested in ATI :P ) right now it has two dead ports on it (meaning I can only have two monitors attached, which means I can't use my VR anymore!) Anyway, I wanted to replace the cooler on this card since I...

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...

Hello. I have a AMD phenom II 965 BE with foxconn heatsink and I wanna change it with a Coooler Master H410R/H411R. Will it handle OC fine? If not, at least will it be a noticeable difference in performance/temp and noise? My chassis only has 17cm wide, and 13.5cm to 14 cm free between cpu and...

Hey guys, I had a gaming laptop MSI GL63 for quite some time and uses it almost everyday so recently, I have decided to clean my laptop's air vents and fans from dust or other dirt that has accumulated over time. It was a throughout cleaning including removing both fans and the heatsink. I...

I've bought a xeon 1231 v3 off ebay thats coming soon. I've been using the pentium g3258 with the stock cooler for several years now. Can I use the pentium cooler for the xeon? If I can, I have to remove the old thermal paste from it then put new paste on the xeon right? prob not needed but...

Hi , this is my first time posting here so go easy on me . Last year or so I bought a Asus Gtx 1080ti Turbo but I really hate the look of it , i allways liked the look of the Founders Edition but don’t know if I can just buy a FE heatsink and slap it on there . Do any of you guys know if this...

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...

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...

Hello all, I have an AsRock K4 X370 Fatal1ty and just bought a Ryzen 3700x with a Wraith Prism cooler to replace my Ryzen 1600 and Wraith Spire. Here's the problem, I don't have the screws anymore for the clips that the heatsink is supposed to attach to. I can't for the life of me find the...

Hello guys, so about a week ago, right before I went on my holidays I gave my laptop to a computer shop/service to have it cleaned out and re-pasted. The laptop in question is in the title while it's specs are: RX 580 4GB Ryzen 5 1600 8GB RAM Kingston 500Gb SSD + 1TB Samsung HDD Win 10x64 The...

Alright, so here's the issue. The ONE SCREW does not align correctly. I believe this is because the Ryzen 5 heatsink may be defective. Is it defective like I think, or is there an easier way to fix this? All the other ones went in straight.
