Question Cpu problems

[Trumpet227]

Hey I don’t know if this is the right place to be asking this question but unfortunately I’ve been having cpu problems after I brought a $825 pc off market place. The pc works all fine but after downloading and hearing the pc it’s quite loud but I wasn’t worried because it’s loud of the aio, but I’ve seen a red light pop up whilst gaming and when i turn on my pc. Im unsure of what to do because I don’t want anything else to break and be a waste of $825

Detailed Specs:

Windows 10 Pro Activated

i5-7600K Overclocked to 4.8Ghz / 1.35v

What You think??

I can personally suggest this one which I have in use right now.
- NZXT Kraken X63, 280 mm AIO (fans 2 x 140 mm)

You can install it to the front panel, it's really beautiful and simple with a great cooling performance.
Just make sure your case fits a 280 mm radiator with 140 mm fans.

Yeah I like the hyper 212 its not really a bad cooler but I've heard about the
Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P CPU Air Cooler as well. What your opinions on it? Oh, and I have heard about the be quiet dark rock pro is a very good one as well.

All of these are fine, decision is yours.

No worries mate. I've now just got to reset my bios (which I definitely don't know what to do) and then replace my CPU cooler.

Remove the CMOS battery to reset BIOS.

Am I able to reset whilst on bios, is that any easier??

Press F5 to load optimized defaults, then press F10 to save and exit BIOS.

Is it alright if you set it all out step by step? That would be easier thanks.

I can't make it any easier, are you in BIOS now?

 

[Trumpet227]

I can't make it any easier, are you in BIOS now?

No, I'm not on my pc right now.

 

[Trumpet227]

I can't make it any easier, are you in BIOS now?

Ok I've reset my BIOS. My CPU speed is now highest at 4.2ghz and below.

 

[Trumpet227]

I really don't have any, but I know that your cooler selection is okay for your CPU. I personally prefer to have some eye candy, so I have RGB fans and AIO cooler with good visuals.

What do you think about dark rock 4, the hyper 212 black edition? Or
Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P

What about
Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo CPU Cooler Grey/White

What about
Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo CPU Cooler Grey/White

It's good.

 

[Trumpet227]

It's good.

Its pretty pricey on amazon, its like $100-120 for it (because the design is white) but the dark rock 4 is $97. I've got choices of artic, dark rock 4, dark rock 4 pro.

 

[Trumpet227]

It's good.

What is the best between them

 

[jnxzi94]

What is the best between them

If you think about it from the price perspective, the best is probably ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO.
I would say the best cooling performance would be from Noctua NH-D15.

Yeah the artic is def more cheaper than the both of the dark rock coolers, but is there any videos of youtube of benchmarking between the 2???
