i3 4160 heatsink

[CARLLAG]

hello everyone so basiclly my i3 4160 heatsink was damaged and i have a g2030 heatsink (new) can i replace it with or buy a new one

 

[Snipergod87]

You can use the G2030 heatsink, no problems there

 

[CARLLAG]

@snipergod87 thanx for your fast reply but are you sur because the the g2030 heatsink is written 0.60A and i3 4160 heatsink is 0.2A what should i do ??

 

[Snipergod87]

That's just refering to the max power draw of the fan.

 

[CARLLAG]

so it's okay if i use the g2030 heatsink on the i3 4160 !

 

[Snipergod87]

Yes, it actually sounds like the fan on the G2030 can be faster than the one bundled with your 4160

 

[CARLLAG]

okay thank you bro ^^

@snipergod87 i installed the heatsink but it gave me 40°c in the bios is that a normal temperature ?

 

[Snipergod87]

That's not unreasonable for a stock cooler at idle. Load up windows and do some of your normal tasks, the temperatures should stay under 70-80c at most unless you are really pushing it hard

@snipergod87 thank you for your faste reply it's very helpful ! i play games in this machin and i didn't had heat problemes but when i saw the 40°c on the bios i got a little bit worried since i play mafia 3 ac syndicate and gta 5 games that are very cpu intensive ....what should i do

 

[Snipergod87]

Just start up windows and use something like CoreTemp or HWINFO 64 or some other program to look at CPU temps while gaming the first few times, and if temperatures are normal than you are fine.

@snipergod87 and when i start the pc i get cpu fan error which occure when the cpu fan is under 800 rpm i suppose altho when i enter to the bios the cpu fan is a 1185 rmp and the temperature keep climbing from 35°c to 40° in 3minute

You didn't provide info about your motherboard, but there may be a setting for the minimum fan RPM required to set the alert. While in the BIOS the CPU isn't idle; you need to load an OS and then it should run cooler. If it doesn't get over 80°C at load, then you don't have a problem .

 

[Snipergod87]

Make sure the CPU fan is plugged into the CPU_FAN1 header on your motherboard. The temperatures will slowly climb for a bit and level off, again load up Windows and download something like CoreTemp and see what your temperatures are when gaming. The CPU's maximum temp is 100C and it will start throttling in the 90's. For a stock cooler you will probably see 70-80c under a heavy load. Idle temperatures will be 30-40c (depending on room temperature)

 

[GhislainG]

It starts throttling at 100°C, but it probably won't get that hot even when running Prime95 Small FFTs (it would with the less powerful stock cooler).

@snipergod87 @ghilsaing i repluged the cpu heatsink in cpu_fan i didn't see it in the motherboard it was pluged in cha_fan and now the cpu fan error disapeared i will do some test and tell you if it's overheat thank's for your help guys appreciat it keep up you'r amazing
