It's winter here and even thought I do have a bit of heating I'm guessing that it's not going to affect the PC next to the cool window. Fans are configured with original settings and they do get more active with heat, the front 140mm fans and the the CPU fan are PMW, back and top on medium setting via a small controller board with a switch.
That's a pretty good idea ! I'll run that test tomorrow since tonight I have to study and if I launch a game I know what's going to happen.
I don't really fathom what the first phrase means but I'm guessing that means my 80+°C with COD on low/mid settings is not normal. Are the 58°C with games that require alot of CPU / GPU ?
But I've thought about the paste and pressure and really this being my first build I can't really give you a lot of info. I'd say this thought :
- I probably put a little bit more paste than a little bit less (aka the overwatered plant problem)
- paste was Startech SILVGREASE1, around 0,8 g
- it doesn't wiggle at all but it's not hardcore tight either I can move it very slightly up and down
I know this doesn't help a lot but this is inexperience speaking. : /
All OC features are OFF since I got my material. For voltage do you mean fan voltage ? I'm in France so the outlets are 220v but something tells me that's not what you're after.
Thanks you all for your help and all the great leads, I really can't let my hard drives die on me even if I'm obviously going to take extra precautions this time.
Also I'm thinking about something else, I'm use some controller boards to control all these fans:
- I use this https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32965108989.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27426c37ZK8MXa to control back and top 120mm fans through voltage
- I use this https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32861522906.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27426c37ZK8MXa to control both front fans + CPU fan with PWM (also just as I checked when at idle the front suckers are very weak)
Tomorrow I will come back with more data when submitting it to heavy load.
Here are pictures of potentially relevant informations on my profile and T° at idle :
*in BIOS :
CPU/Pump Frans = CPU fan + 2x 140 mm front fans
System Fan = back / top 120mm fans
