Fx-9370 too hot with a corsair H60 cooler, will a Noctua NH-D15 be my saving grace?
Go to solution
Solved by Benji_w,
Welp sorry it took me so long but I had to buy new thermal paste and work a shift since my last post. After re-applying the thermal compound and replacing the cooler im still hitting the 60-61 mark after maybe 10 minutes of running anything demanding on my system. Now I guess I'm left with a choice between underclocking or upgrading my cooler... any suggestions for a good air cooler to beat the corsair h60, and maybe compete with the h100i ? I'm still thinking the Noctua NH-D15
Ok let me clear things up for you.
- the Cpu you have is a heat producer, a dual fan radiator would be better for you
- The FX range don't have a thermometer in them, they calculate temps under load with an algorithm
- A big dual tower air cooler will be better than the H50
- Some corsair AIO coolers do not sit correctly on certain boards and cause high temps
- That motherboard will bite the dust eventually due to the power draw of that chip
- asking for advice here for an amd cpu on intel tech tips forums will give you loads of misinformation
PS the last one was a pot shot at all the kiddies on this forum turning their noses up at a perfectly good CPU range that is a little weaker than its counterpart.
