Correct. But there are 12v to 5v converters.

Try clearing cmos

Have you thought about using a nvidia shield...?

What games are you playing?

I understand and this is pretty normal for many people

Welcome to mobile gaming

Does event viewer so anything? Have you tried ddu your gpu driver and reinstall. Maybe your ram? Disable xmp

After upgrading to stopify premium. Spotify voice stopped working aka ok/hey stopify. Any idea? I did dbl chk permissions they are on. I do have the mic symbol and when selecting it the app hears me just fine. Just the wake word is working.

What case do you have? and what fan config do you have in it?

You cleared cmos which reset bios.

Have you tried resetting BIOS. Remove ac power. remove battery(s). Hold power button for 10 sec. Reinstall battery(s) plug in ac power. Turn on

Shutdown remove USB. When turning on the laptop try tapping f11. See if it gets you into windows recovery/troubleshooting

I would first take it apart again and check for thermal paste spread well. If it didn't it might be mounting pressure issue. New thermal pad maybe helpful. It been a long time since I did a teardown on a ps3. But I did have one were the tension brackets need to be bent to add more tension.

So the screen turns on but it doesn't boot to the os correct?

So when a fan blowing at and through an obstruction its called push as the fan is push threw an obstruction. And vise versa in pull. So since your fan are blowing air from right to left, they are behind the heatsinks, and it's a dual tower. It's current config is pull, pull. Technically it's pull, push, pull. Because air is being pull through the first stack, then beening push and pulled through the second. But we'll just keep it simple with pull pull is the current config. The case fans look like corsiar stock fans. They are fine and can brute force air movement. I believe they move up to 3200 rpm. Although loud. No it doesn't change anything about what I had said. All the config are fine in the end. The only thing that changes what I have is the fact your gpu is a blower style card(I didn't pay attention to this before). There for what I did say about adding a fan up top helps gpu cooling is void as your card exhuast out the back instead of into the case. This doesn't mean you can't add one there. Just means it will probably be less beneficial to do so.

Yea for sure

Jezz I must be really tired. You gave that info already lol. Anyway if you just want to try a different I'd recommend phanteks ph f120mp

Oops sorry missed that. It's late. If you think the issue is the tranfer of heat from the gpu die to the cooler.. Maybe placing some plastic washers on the back of the pcb where the tension screws go so you can add a little bit more mounting pressure would help. Or If your feeling crafty you could zip tie a cpu cooler to the gpu.

Still didn't answer my question. Also what motherboard?

What case do you have? Are temps better with the side panel off? I personally don't recommend liquid metal. A lot of things can go wrong. I would just use a better paste. And I would deshroud the the gpu heatsink and zip tie 2 120mm fans like some arctic p12s to the heatsink.

What are your temps and case?

Any config change will be probably yield little change. However you might be better off with your cpu fans in a push push rather than a pull pull config and leave the rear exhuast fan where it is. That is if you really want to have two fans on your cooler. Although it's not needed. The current config is fine too. Even though the fans are close together. You just want to make sure that the rear exhuast fan can move a little more air than the cooler fans. Moving a fan to the top front... on the surface people think this a bad idea due to the thinking that its exhausting fresh air out of the system before it gets used, but I've seen lots of test that actually show lower gpu temps when doing it while cpu temps stay the same. If it was my build I'd run only 1 fan on the cpu cooler( in the middle) Move the rear corsiar to the top front Move the rear phanteks fan from the cpu cooler to the rear as exhuast on the case. This will be the most balance and look the best imho. There are a lot of options none of them are wrong. Leave it change it its up to you.

You don't need spacers for bionix fans eloops are different as the ring spins with the blades. The ph f120mp/ 140mp are also one of my favorite fans too.

It depends on the rad housing and the fan ring or non ring design. There are alot of fan with no rings that where the mounting holes are slightly wider than the rest of the fan frame leaving a space between the fan and the rad. Some ring fans cause the same issue. The I have not had any issue with the bionix making a good seal to the rad possible even better

Even tho I have a commander pro. I only use it for rgb. All my fans are connected to the motherboard and are controlled though bios. The only bios I don't like for fan controls is asus.
