Hey guys, think I messed up here, will explain in brief so u got an idea of where to lead me...
Helped Step-son build a PC, parts bought:
AMD FX9370
Hyper Evo 212 CPU Cooler
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Mobo
R9 290 Msi Twin Frozr GPU
Corsair 750w PSU
x11 Gaming case (PSU at top, cheapo fans at front and rear, and 1 usable on side)
At present, he not using it, apart from turning it on to look at, and eventually turning it off...
Using the Asus AI Suite and HWmonitor (CPUID), watched out for CPU temp, and all seems OK, but then only tool to test with is MSI Kombuster which works the GPU rather than CPU draw....
Now for me, I just upgraded a few bits for my own PC which is where I think I gone wrong, and where I think can have a major impact on my step-sons PC too...
I just built:
AMD FX9370
Hyper T4 cpu cooler (similar to Hyper evo 212, but still a budget cooler)
MSI 970 Gaming mobo
MSI 770GTX Twin Frozr
EV3A 750w PSU
x11 Gaming Case
When I built it, using the MSI Bios screen, had CPU temp stable at 21c...,
Did Windows 7, etc etc, and left it running for hours, over a few days of letting it idle, HWmonitor (CPUID) would show idle temp at 33 - 40c....
However, the other day, I was in the MSI Command centre software, and pressed the OC Genie button, and then pressed it to cancel it, however, it rebooted PC and came back on as normal, although fan a lot louder...
Used it for like 30 mins last night, but fan noise was pretty loud, so came out of a game, checked CPUID, temp was showing 68c 🙁
Rebooted so I could go into the BIOS screen, but within 1 second, it went off and left me with a flashing power light button...
Left it alone for 1hr, came back, booted up, temp was showing 40c (in BIOS screen), and within minutes, got as far as 56c before machine shutdown (I think I had selected an option to shutdown once it got to 60c in the BIOS).....
Sooooo, I think, somehow, I got this OC (Overclock) genie thing running, but no idea how to turn it off, which is maxing the CPU....
And the main question, think I need to address CPU Cooling for both machines...
If water cooling was not an option, what fan can we go for ?
I did look at the Corsair H100i water cooler, but it has 2 fans, and the gaming case we use doesn't have space for 2 fans 🙁 Unsure if a water cooler with single fan would do the job ?
