The way I think of it 120s are for prebuilts, 240s are for SFF, and 360s are for i9s and the very largest ryzen 3s and 4s. Pretty much everything else wants air.

From rereading this it sounds like the update changed the fan curve. The way I have solved the issue of overload (inadequate) fans in the past is to put on bigger fans. My latest is a 6800xt I pulled the shroud from and replaced the 3 shroud fans with 2 140mm case fans these provide about the same amount of air but are much quieter.

Lol. That kind of thing happens

A mixer? Like the old style ones with all the sliders? Those things are easy to knock the volume on.

“If the owner of this video has granted you access please sign in” artifcts are generally the gpu. Someone was talking earlier about how he was getting them from overheating memory ON his gpu though and solved it with copper shims

My move would be to put 1080p and 144hz into the filter on pcpartpicker and see what they have. For $300 you might be able to get a 4k/27”/144 and just run it at 1080p a lot of the time or FSR up. 4k/4=1080 so they do it quite well.

Pcpartpicker should work for you then

What country are you in?

Was this before or after the post lights popped up?

Does the 6500 need auxiliary power cables? Most do. There are a few exceptions. Generally at the low end. The 6400 and the 1650 don’t need them. 3050 too irrc. Old dells are the bread and butter of those cards because often Dell PSUs don’t have extra cables.

Then no worries. A 360 AIO actually often has a larger envelope than big air. Only 900ks can actually make use of that but you’ve got one. big air is more in the 240 range. A rare case where an AIO is actually useful. For that kind of money you can probably do an open loop if you wanted. I like those better personally because I find AIOs to be die rolls. Sometimes you can get the air bubbles out of the pump sometimes you can’t.

You can get 6 coolers for that money. Can you even fit a 360?

Maybe. If it is some engineer at the company should be slapped upside the head though. More probable is the pump blade fell off the shaft. The head slapping still needs to occur, but it might not be the engineer that needs it.

Those lights are post errors. Could be bad gpu, could be bad bios, could be something else. Does your motherboard have a usb bios flash option?

You’ll have to take the old one out anyway. The stock cooler on intel CPUs generally sucks but it’s probably better than what you have now. Another option is just undervolt it till you get to an acceptable heat envelope. Probably a lot slower but that may not make much of a difference in at least some situations.

Me I spend $45 and go big air. Peerless assassin 120 should be about that. Those things last for ever. Not as pretty of course

The cold plate/pump? If the warranty is live I’d say send it back over attempting repair yourself. If you’re out of warranty it becomes a possibility.

Because it’s a machine not an animal? The motor might still be spinning but the propeller broke off.

Ouch. It might be a bad mount then. The difference in temp between the tubes say it’s not pumping though

The pump just has to stop spinning. Then the blades themselves clog it.

That means your pump isn’t spinning. Looks like activating your warranty on that AIO is in order, unless there isn’t one and you get to buy a new one. This is why I prefer air coolers or custom loop. Did your cpu come with a stock cooler? You can possibly undervolt and use that till the replacement arrives. It will be slower.

10900k implies this is not a new build. I take it it WAS at some time working fine? I’m wondering if your pump died or flow got clogged somehow? Is one of your AIO tubes hotter than the other? This is why I don’t use AIOs. I suspect you will have to activate your warranty on your cooler. I do. It looks like a classic bad mount, but the mount hasn’t changed and you’ve got an AIO. All it would take is for the water to stop circulating but still be there. It’s also possible I guess for the water to still be circulating but the radiator isn’t getting any air at all. That’s less likely though assuming you didn’t drop your sweater on top of your case or you smoke or something. Smoking makes dust gummy. The worst examples of clogged fans seem to be from smokers.

What happens if you try a restart?
