Hello! my question is, will a Cryorig C7 be able to cool an 6700k with no overclock? Ps. Building in the Fractal Design Node 202 Thanks!

Unless the remaining parts arrive late, this weekend I'll be building my 1st PC ever. Although I won't have time to find it's max air overclocks ASAP, I do plan to get the most out of this system in the very near future. I'm not interested in the competitive part of bench-marking so whether or not my results are up-loadable doesn't matter. All I want is 24/7 stability & okay thermals to ensure longevity, something that I've never been able to experience on current PC but that's due to other reasons. What free & safe (malware/bloatware free) CPU, GPU & RAM bench-marking software do y'all recommend? I've used Furmark before but can't remember where I got it from & just doing an initial search brings up loads of results but none appear official enough for me to blindly trust. The last time I tried to run memtest on current PC, I couldn't get the USB download to work so had to create a bootable CD; which can't be done on new build as it lacks an optical drive.

I need to get a CPU cooler for my FX 9590, my current heatsink gets very hot and I believe it is the reason for my computer freezing/crashing. If you have any suggestions, please contact to me.

Hey guys, So I'm thinking to buy a new case (probably the corsair carbide 400c) and part of the upgrades I'm going to give my PC is a better cooler (right now using stock cooler). So first, I was thinking to buy the coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO (didn't check if it was compatible in the case just something as good as that one). The problem is in a couple of years I'll have to move out to my home country again and I'm afraid that that specific cooler could damage my motherboard. So, I came to mind maybe liquid cooling could be better and easier to transport the PC, the problem is that I don't know which one of the following compatible coolers are good: H55, H60, H75, H80i, H90, H100i, H105 and H110 (I don't know of it having some other brand good CPU coolers otherwise mention them). Thanks guys

Yo can anyone help? Ok so I'm looking to replace my cpu watercooler its making weird sounds and I'm afaid its going to break (Swiftech H220 X2 2x120) had it about 8months or so. I'm thinking of replacing it with a high end aircooler so I don't need to worry about leaks. I'm thinking about the (be quiet! DARK ROCK PRO 3 Silentwings CPU Cooler 250W TDP) but I'm not 100% sure it will fit due to the size of the heatsink and fans. Do you guys think it will fit? I'm thinking the only problem would be the ram size since I don't belive its low profile ram. Anyways tell me what you think. Specs: Graphics Card: GTX 1080 HYBRID CPU: i7‑6700K running stock speed (4.0GHz) CPU Cooler: Swiftech H220 X2 2x120 Mobo: Z170 ASUS Deluxe Ram: 16GB G.SKILL F4 DDR4 3200 C16 Case: 760T Corsair HDD: Seagate Firecuda 2TB ALSO think temps would a lot higher since I would be doing aircooling or stay around the same? My temps are 18-20 Idle with Swiftech H220 X2 2x120

This may be a noob question, but it has stumped me so I'm hoping you all can help me figure it out. A few years ago I bought a Rosewill Stealth ATX Mid Tower as part of my first real build. It, among other things, features 2 "fan controllers" at the top. They are these sliders with high, medium, and low. They appear to connect to the rest of the fans via both molex connectors and 3 pins. I really wasn't sure how to integrate them into my network of fans when I first did my build, so I just left them disconnected and power my fans directly from either the motherboard or the power supply. They very quietly and my temps remained low. Fast forward to today, where I have now bought 2 Rosewill 120mm RFA case fans (red of course). My main goal was to increase airflow and add more Red LEDs. So I connected (using the included 3pin to molex adapters) them to the same chain that was powering the front 2 fans. Everything powered on well, but my new fans are spinning really fast, so they are noticeably loud (not launch day ps4 loud, but, oh my computer actually makes sound loud). Therefore, I want to set them up with the fan controllers, and lower the speed, since right now I really don't need them blowing exhaust 3 small freedom units above the case. Please let me know if anyone has any experience with these fans, this case, or similarly designed fan controllers in general, and if you all have any suggestions. Thanks! UPDATE: Success! I switched up my internal wiring so that the molex connectors from the PSU now feed the controllers, and the 3pin connectors (2 for each controller) go to my sets of fans. Now, I can separately control the speeds of my top fans and my front fans. The others are connected directly to the motherboard. Thanks for the help!

Hey guys a quick question: I have this MOBO: MSI Z87-GD65 https://de.msi.com/Motherboard/Z87-GD65-GAMING.html#hero-overview It has 5x 4pin PWM headers. But the silly thing is only 2 of them (the CPU ones) do support RPM settings under 50% I want to run all my 8 NF-A14 indu under 50%. So here is the question: Will atacing 4 of those fans be to much for one header? I am plaining to do so with the noctua Y cabels. Since i am running a full loop there a no other fans installed in my pc. Thanks guys

I'm recently working on a build for a friend, who wants to get a good 1080p-1440p gaming setup including a RX 580 8gb, a ryzen 5 1600 and 8 gb of ddr4 ram (he will actually buy 8 more gigs when the prices go down), a 500gb ssd and a 2tb hdd. the mobo will be a MSI B350M Bazooka, the PSU will be a be quiet! Pure Power 10 CM ATX 500W and for the case I'll probably go for the Thermaltake Versa 15 (Windowed). The problem is, I don't know wich air- or watercooling solution it takes, to bring this chip to about 3,8 ghz and usually am4 is not listed as a supported socket. Can you help me out? (The ram in the list is just a playeholder, idk what i will go for now, don't worry, i know that the drives are missing) you can also make suggestions for other parts

Hi there, I am planning to build my first PC next month or so, but im unsure where i have to connect fans and to which header. Components: Case: NZXT H440 MoBo: Asus z270-a Prime CPU Cooler: H115i The case has fan hub at the back which is not controllable (max. speed) , i will be using 4 case fans and the two on the radiator. Where should I connect the fans? (Fan-Hub or Mobo) and if mobo to what headers? Thank you in advance

I got a ryzen 7 1700 a little while ago and was immediately drawn to the stock cooler. AMD did a great job putting a ring on it?, speaking of I fell in love with the RGB ring and AMD logo on it and was wondering any suggestions on how to mount that to a tower styled air cooler such as the deepcool gammaxx 400? I was about to use zip ties but realized those melt at about 75°C or ~150°f any suggestions on how to mount it? The mounting bar I got with the cooler does not fit.

Living on a small boat (35 feet), should I be concerned about damaging my computer (or any other electronic devices) due to the high humidity, relatively poor ambient ventilation onboard, and salt water conditions? And if so, how might I mitigate the risk of damage with a non-traditional cooling set up? Water cooling? I saw linus did a video on Mineral oil immersion (which I really don't wanna do) Would it be possible to seal the computer in an air tight environment (dehumidify this environment with damp-rid or something) and export all of my cooling needs with a water cooling loop to an externally mounted radiator? I'm living in the chesapeake bay where, especially in the summer months, it can be very hot and humid and miserable. Not ideal for computers. Also, onboard the boat there's no feasible way to reliably power an airconditioning unit nor a dehumidifier to help reduce the humidity and overall exposure to airborne moisture. Here's my idea... and don't laugh Build a custom wall-mounted case with plexiglass and wood that could mount the Motherboard, GPU, HDs, etc. Run necessary wiring and a water cooling loop out of the case and then seal the computer w/in, protecting it from the harsh conditions. Can a cooling loop with GPU and CPU block handle that amount of cooling without some kind of air flow? Would simply circulating the air in the sealed case be enough to manage temperatures? Any insight into the above questions would be greatly appreciated. Any better ideas than mine would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Dear fellow forum users, *** GPU water VS AIR cooling *** With the launch of the the new Ryzen CPUs and hopefully reduced GPU prices in the coming weeks I am preparing to replace my old Gaming PC: - Intel I5-3570K (custom water cooling loop) - Gigabyte HD7970 GHz (standard Gigabyte cooler) - 8GB of Corsair DDR3 ram And I am looking at stepping into Ultrawide (3440x1440) gaming with: - AMD Ryzen 3700x or 3800x - Nvidia RTX2080(Ti) The goal of this build is to create a capable and QUIET! gaming PC When trying to select my parts I come to CPU cooling and there are many great videos and articles comparing water (AIO) and air cooling for CPUs like the video Linus made recently. HOWEVER for a gaming PC (my current one and I suspect new ones as well) The loudest part under gaming load will almost always be the GPU. Now for the big question. If we disregard price and only look to noise levels under load. What setup would be quieter? System A: Big CPU Aircooler + GPU with aftermarket design from MSI, Asus, ... System B: Custom water cooling loop for both CPU and GPU? Best regards, Alex

Hi all.. This is my very first SFF build. Still alot of rooms to improve, but so far I'm quite pleased and enjoy the building process. I just finished this afternoon. Before this build I used Phanteks Evolv ITX as my platform. Only for 1.5 years my interest to a real small form factor become stronger and stronger until I cant resist it. Finally I dare myself to build one. The initial idea was to have a tiny form factor system but running as beefiest components (CPU cooler and GPU) as it allows and it has to be air cooled. I'm a kind of average budget person, so I cannot afford the NCASE M1 as it's so expensive to finally reach my hand ($190 base price and mark it up to $314 to arrived in front of my door), and I'm not into the purchasing system it runs. So I ended up with the "Poor man's M1" version, the Cougar QBX. Basically I just migrated some of my previous PC components inside the Evolv ITX to the QBX, and will upgrading the GPU later on, wait for what AMD will offer with their NAVI. And this is the part list: CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K, 5 GHz, delidded with LM CPU cooler: Noctua NH-C14S Motherboard: MSI Z370i Gaming Pro Carbon AC RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 Gb, 2666 MHz GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6 Gb FTW2 DT PSU: Corsair SF600 Platinum Case cooling: 1x Noctua NF-R8 80mm fan front intake, 1x Cougar stock 92mm fan rear exhaust, 2x Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 fans top exhaust. I did an extensive research before I decided to execute my trigger for this kind of build. After I decided to use the Cougar QBX, from there I start to try to find any informations as many as possible from its specs, what's the biggest components it can take based on its official specs, until to finally I found the untold specs that this case hides inside itself, and then I saw a wider choices of components to keep me consistent with my initial idea. I was about to upgrade my GPU also along the building proccess, but life is quite rough lately, so I need to save some cash for it and the GPU upgrade is in hold for it, but I don't mind as there will be AMD to show up some new line-ups soon enough, so I stay calm and patience.. For the PSU, I was thinking about it for a month to find which SFX PSUs are available in my country. Initial plan was Enermax Revolution SFX or Seasonic Focus Gold SGX, but both models are out of stock, even Silverstone SX-G also. The SFX PSU which available in where I live is the Corsair SF, so I get this little big boy instead even the price is over my target, but I think I cant go wrong with this unit. The CPU cooler??? Cougar stated that QBX maximum height of CPU cooler it can accomodate is only 105mm, but after extensive research it can take 145mm CPU cooler with side plate/bracket uninstalled. The trade off is I lose 2x any 2.5" storage drives mounts and 1x 3.5" HDD mounts, and 1x 120mm side fan mount. I take the trades to put NH-C14S to cool my 5GHz 8700K inside a tiny case, also since I don't need many storage drives so I can live with it. TL:DR, here some of the pics when I built it, it's not the pretiest build, but like I said, there are still alot of rooms to improve, and also I'm sorry for the poor quality pics. I installed the SF600 with this orientation to allow me to install 2x 120mm NF-F12 fans just to exhaust heat as fast as possible when it needed. I set the NF-F12 at constant 1000-1500 RPM up until 80C, and higher RPM for over 80C. the front top exhaust NF-F12 is to pull out the PSU heat without leaving heat is being trapped at the gap between PSU bracket and the top/roof of the case, while the rear top exhaust NF-F12 is to pull out the CPU heat. About the motherboard.. Initially I plan to upgrade to Asrock Phantom Gaming Z390 ITX/ac also to future proofing, but found that there is someone have problem with the NH-C14S on old motherboard inside QBX, and it makes the guy cut the heatsink to fit in there. Then it made me wonder if each motherboard has their own certain exact spot or let say coordinate of the CPU socket relative to the motherboard area and dimension. I was quite sure it has and it will affect to the NH-C14S compatibility. I was discouraged by some opinions that saying I will be unlikely to be able to fit the NH-C14S without involving some mods. But challenge accepted, and I see a quite big risk ahead but I decide to gamble myself for it, I took the risk and move on.. I checked the Asrock vs my preowned MSI board. Crop their pics at same orientation and size, I found that Asrock CPU socket is located slightly to upper right direction, while MSI has it tend to be located the opposite direction, lower to the left. From here I cancle my decision to get Asrock and stay with my current motherboard instead. Aaaaand this is when the NH-C14S heatsink is succesfully installed on the system.. No mod/s required. Look how close my risk by gambling on it.. Just tiny touch perfect fit! This is the spot where a real conflict happens.. No big deal rubber vs metal. Only the outer fin which get bent by the power cable, no worries.. a milimeter gap on the rear sector vs 25mm thick rear exhaust fan with the NF-A14 Chromax installed..! (I have it already from the previous build) I was about to use NF-A15 instead because it's aestethically better than NF-A14, but the mounting clips are not compatible, tried to use the NH-D15 fan clips also not compatible, so NF-A14 is OK then, it's the same fan after all, only different style. and with the side panel on.. Just to test the side fit. It actually touches the side panel but only a light touch on the fan rubber pads, it doesnt even push the panel, so I still can slide the panel on and off quite easy.. No gap between the side panel and the case body by the fan vs side panel touch.. I'm safe.. It's a nice relieve.. I was planing to install the NF-A14 under the heatsink so I can install the side bracket on to be no compromise on the QBX features but the 24 pin ATX power cable doesn't allow me to do that, so here we are now.. Touch the limit not so perfect fit! I will upload the full build when the time is right.. I'm still planing to change the sleeved cables with the custom ones and upgrading the GPU.. Any inputs and rating, comments and opinions, or any constructive ideas are greatly welcome, I highly appreciate it.. Thanks for your time and attention.. Regards..

I just built a PC and am planning to upgrade to a Noctua nh-d15s. I am using RTX 2070 with an open air design. Because the nh-d15s is very big, I am worried about the following: Will the GPU temps be affected? Will CPU temps increase because of the hot GPU? How should the fans be configurated? (see pic). I am living in a polluted and dusty city, so I have installed pretty restrictive air filters in the front of the case. Should the top fans be exhaust or intake or a mix of both? How many top fans do I need? (I need to keep the air pressure positive inside the case, so I was hoping 1 would be enough) Where should I place the fans on top? (should i place it just above the noctua, won't it pull hot air from GPU through the fins?) PS: I am new to PC building.
