    Vennaya got a reaction from TatamiMatt in CPU Temps were fine months ago, but are now constantly 70+ even when idle, and throttling when under load.   
    Right...If you two are done....Can we please get back on topic? Im still unclear as to what might be causing this.

    Yea Mesh front. Mesh top, rear is also fairly airated. Only the Glass panel and back panel are the only solid panels anywhere.
    Airflow isn't the issue. At least not the path it takes through the case. Otherwise it would have been a problem before now.
     
    As mentioned, my MSI AIO Water cooler was perfectly fine for well over a year once i undervolted the CPU, and it was only in the past month or two (not entirely sure on the timeframe, as i wasnt actively monitoring temps) that temps started to go awry and i swapped the cooler.

    So do you suggest re-pasting the CPU then? And putting the other fan on despite the exhaust fan being like 1.5 inches behind it?
    Would that really make enough of a difference to stop it from thermal throttling?

    Vennaya reacted to RONOTHAN## in Looking to upgrade and have a rough idea, wondering if it's a good idea.   
    Don't really know how CSP behaves so can't really comment on that. For all I know it could love AMD cards. In my bit of Googling for it, it doesn't seem to care what GPU vendor you use, but that's just about 5 minutes of searching so take that for what you will. 
     
    Not bad, though I'd be trying to go for a 3080, not a 3070 Ti, mostly because the 3080s are actually a bit cheaper. Other than that it's a pretty solid build though

    Also, I wouldn't hold your breath for Black Friday deals, over the past 2-3 years they haven't really been that great. There's the occasional SSD deal, sometime a PSU deal, and if your lucky a CPU/motherboard deal (though this is usually on last gen gear), but all in the range of ~$20-30 off at most. Not saying you won't find some good deals on those/similar parts, just don't expect a miracle. 
     
    It does. The Z690-A Pro is a really solid motherboard, and I can confirm it does have BIOS Flashback (built two different machines with that same board)
