Recently upgraded my CPU, went from a Xeon X5650 to an I7 9700K.
Got this, compatible memory, a new PSU, and transferred my hard drive and video card over: https://www.newegg.com/abs-forge-al...onsive-US-_-index-_-product-link-_-83-102-921
After an unreasonable amount of hassle, I got everything up and running. Installed a new copy of Windows, downloaded everything again, all that.
Problem is that the temperatures seem much too high. The CPU is idling at about 40C, and I ran a game for about 2 or 3 minutes, during which it got up to 80C.
I've already been into BIOS and changed the profile of the fan speeds to be a bit higher. Shaved about 1 or 2 degrees off of that, which isn't really enough...
But more than that, there's a sort of grinding noise coming from the CPU somehow. It's watercooled, so there aren't any fans near it, so I've got no idea how or why.
But there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from right around there.
At first I thought it was coil whine from my video card, at high framerates in game it gets coil whine... but I enabled Vsync, and the noise still persists.
So, any ideas what's going on?
I haven't actually checked yet... but I would assume they put thermal paste on the processor before they sent it over.
Other than that though, I can't think of why it would be getting that hot.
