Hello,
Last night I had a major scare. I was removing my old HDD because I had just installed a 2tb SSD so there was no need for it. When I did that, I didn't realize I also unplugged my watercooler pump (NZXT Kraken X73 360mm) so I went ahead an booted the computer up and started downloading the latest COD again. I went and did a few things but my buddy wanted me to jump on Rust so I launched it and it was MAD slow... so I restarted and my computer gave a CPU overheating warning.. uh oh 🙁 so about 2-3 hours after the game was downloading and launched Rust, I realized I didn't plug in the pump. I immediately shut it all down and plugged the pump in. Do you think I need to replace the thermal pad? Do you think I need to worry? It wasn't burning hot but it was fairly warm. Anything helps.
Specs are below.
Intel Core i7-10700K Comet Lake 8-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1200
MSI PRO Z490-A PRO LGA 1200 Intel Z490
NZXT Kraken X73 360mm
