    Naxi_Mu reacted to APasz in graphics card query   
    The rating for HDMI is at least 5,000 insertions (some are rated highly) so the likelihood of damage is quite low.
    However if you're still uncomfortable about it, a short extension cable can used instead of plugging directly into the gfx card.

    yo can deactivate windows on your original computer then uise the product key again on the new one, you just have to have one system running in deactivated mode

    relid your cpu with liquid metal or better thermal paste, sometimes one core is hotter than others because the TIM doesnt cover the whole die

    You're overclocking with a radiator that only uses 1 fan. If you purchased a 240/280/360mm radiator with dual or triple fans you'd have much better cooling.
     
    The x31 only has so much fin density and one fan the heat isn't being dissipated from the loop, at least not effectively.

    He could try sandwiching it between two fans in a push-pull config for a bit better cooling, but I agree that a bigger rad or maybe a beefy air cooler is better. 
     
    Also:
    delidding will help a lot AFAIK.

    Agreed, but It's been my experience that doing that will yield poor results, hence the suggestion to up the radiator size, either that or just go back to air cooling
