So I'm building my first PC and I have a heatsink with pre-applied thermal paste which I attactched to the CPU but took off briefly to reajdust its position. Will I need to remove the thermal paste and put a new layer on now? note that i haven't Turned the PC till now . I haven't turned on the...
While i am installing my new CPU ( AMD Ryzen 5 8400f with stock cooler ) my fingers touched the thermal paste on the stock cooler by accident so some of thermal paste removed from the stock cooler but most of thermal paste remain on the cooler
SO Do I need to Buy New Thermal Paste and install...
My laptop was running hot so I removed the screws, opened the backplate, and wiped the older paste with a soft tissue paper and IPA. I applied a little bit more because I had heard that "very little" paste would be more damaging than "too much" paste. I put everything back together and started...
Hello Readers,
Graphics Card: SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 6700 XT 12GB
So the problem is quite self-explanatory. I have re-pasted my Graphics card 3 times now. Everytime I repaste, my GPU temperatures plummet during load, around 80-85c (HOTSPOT). But everytime I do this, it does fine for a while but the...
Hello everyone, I recently sent my Asus ROG Strix G531GT laptop for cleaning and maintenance. After a few months of use, I noticed that it was starting to overheat. I opened up the laptop to investigate and found that some of the components surrounding the CPU and GPU were missing thermal paste...
I have a EVGA GTX 1060 6g and bought it uses close to 2 years ago. Lately I have been thinking about the thermal paste because certain games (like stalker anomaly) will reach 77c. I also have a case with bad air flow so I use a desk fan to reduce temperatures especially during the summer. Today...
Hello,
I tried to built a custom PC by myself for the first time.
During normal gaming, the CPU temperature is normal. Around 40-50 C with CPU usage only around 6-10%.
I then tried to run RPCS3. During PPU modules loading, the CPU usage jumps to 70-80% with the temperature goes up to 92 C...
I just purchased a new Cooler since my last one stopped working. It’s only been half a year since my first ever build. My cpu already has Thermal paste on it. Should I clean it and reapply a new layer or is the thermal paste on it good enough?
Hi all,
I recently got new fans (Noctuas) for my PC to keep it a bit quieter. After installing the new fans, I wanted to check how the PC performed under a stress test - I used Aida64.
After about 5 minutes, the throttling line turned red (although it remained at 0%). The CPU temps were around...
Hi My laptop is rebooting in a boot cycle, I changed the thermal paste cooler master because it was hot, why can it be some thermal paste stuck below the sticker of the processor, can I remove that sticker? The laptops is N551 and processor is i7 4700hq
Hi I recently installed a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Black RGB edition.
First I cleaned off the previous old thermal paste with 99% IPA.
I applied the thermal paste properly, and then reseated the heatsink a few times (3 or 4). once during installation and a fe times 2-3 hours later (this was...
Hi,
I have a cooler (Dark Rock Pro 4) and cpu (AMD Ryzen 5 3600x). It is the first time I am going to build PC on my own. Please help me with applying thermal paste. With what method should I apply thermal paste? And what details should I take into account considering I am building a PC for...
Hello there, my Gigabyte GTX 970 Windforce 3X card which I've had since May 2016 have been performing somewhat poorly a couple of months ago. The temperature would hit 80c and the fans would spin at 80% during relatively undemanding games such as Dark Souls 3. I did some research and tried some...
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 recently reinstalled my CPU cooler for cleaning out the radiator and did NOT put in new thermal paste, this might be the reason but still, I am getting temps of about 85-100 degrees on light workload and my fans are ramping up. I have an H115i on an i7 7700 and I don't know if the pump is the...
Hi guys,
My friend has recently attempted to build his first gaming PC, only to get a small amount of thermal paste stuck in his CPU socket and on his CPU. After a BIOS update, he managed to get his computer to post long enough to install Windows and a couple of programs, only for the computer...
before I ask the main question, I'm wondering am I freaking out too much? I'm legit so scared right now that even a milligram of difference might screw up the entire system. I've heard people not being able to boot into windows, and is able to boot successfully after they reapplied thermal...
