I just purchased a 5700G and plan to use it occasionally to render videos. I have tested it a few times, and each time it gets up to about 91 degrees in about 10 minutes of 100% load. I'm very concerned that something is not functioning right, but am unsure of what the issue is. I know that the stock cooler wouldn't be great, but I never would have guessed it would get anywhere near that hot. I have already tried removing and reseating the cooler and changing the thermal paste with no improvement. All Bios settings have been left on auto. I'm figuring I'll have to drop the extra $50-100 on a better cooler, but wanted to check and see if there may be something else at issue as well.

Hi all, So couple of months ago I built a new PC. Rough specs are: I7 11700K GTX3070Ti 32GB crucial ballistix RAM MSI MPG 750W gold rates PSU MSI MPG Z590 gaming plus MB So when building it, it posted fine without a cooler on. As soon as I attached the cooler the red CPU light would turn on. Weird as hell but hey, next thing I loosened the screws, re fit it etc and it worked. Games like this for about 2 months and now the red cpu light turned on again and wouldn’t boot / post. Removed cooler cleaned CPU and re seated it, posts without cooler, re attach cooler loosely red CPU light again. It would boot and post with either 2 screws or 3 but then red cpu light when 4th attached. I assume the cooler is the issue so buy a new one (Noctua DH-15 chroma black. Fitted it and posted first time, great, take it back to my set up connect everything back into it, red CPU light again. If I fiddle with the CPU cooler it will boot and I can game (runs a little hotter but I only have the 1 fan attached and 3 intake fans on front so ordered new fans for airflow) Anyone else experienced anything like this before? Or can help me before I lose my mind hahaha Thanks for any advice / help and if you need any more information, please let me know

Hey guys looking for advice on the best aio for a 12900k Im currently running a 12900k with a coolermaster ml360 v1 and its ok at cooling but not optimal. When running a bench my temps sky-rocket all the way up to 98°c with the cpu being undervolted to 1.2v unrestricted the cpu thermal throttles big time reaching 100°c very soon after starting the bench mark. My pump is running at 2000rpm fan curve is quite aggressive Mainly looking for a aio 360mm For specifics im running 12900k Cooler master Ml360 v1 The paste is thermal grizzly kryonaut 3080 ti ( is it normal for mem temps to be reaching 102°c when running a complex 3d render) 32gb of 3200mhz running xmp 1000w psu 6 fans in total 3 intake 3 exhaust

Hey guys! I've an RTX 2070s from EVGA that is 3 slots wide and it's preventing me from downsizing my case. Is there a simple/compact solution to getting it down to 2 slots? Or not even simple but just not ghetto. -
Hi guys I ran into a problem with my cooler today (Corsair H45 Hydro CPU Cooler AiO) and desperately need a replacement quickly basically it leaked and I'm looking for a good air cooler because this one was already replaced once already same reason (same one installed again) and I think I'm done with water-cooling for a bit.. I'm using a intel i7 6700k cooler not overclocked just the stock.. I'm doing long gaming sessions and I want something that would withstand that.. and here's my motherboard just to see if it would fit on it GIGABYTE Z170-Gaming K3 ATX Motherboard ps. I know it's a old rig but still works..

I posted about this on reddit but no one ever responded, so I'm hoping someone here might have advice. My aio liquid cooler has been buzzing ever since I sat my computer on its side to replace the cpu. Hwmonitor says the pump is running at normal rpm and temperatures seem normal enough. Video links on google drive and further details on in the reddit post. -
Ive watched a few Gamers Nexus videos on how to properly install it, im gonna be using a Asus Prime Z690-P with the 12600K, im hoping the images will show enough information. Case is the Corsair 275R Airflow

Hey. So I purchased a brand new Kraken x53 for my new build. Upon putting everything together and starting it up for the first time, everything looked great at first. I was in the bios tweaking some things before actually booting to windows when i noticed my CPU was getting hot. At this point it was in the red. So i immediately turned off my pc and checked all the cooler wires and made sure everything was good, which it was and as far as i’m aware still is. On the motherboard, the pump is plugged into AIO_PUMP, fans are plugged into CPU_FAN, and the other one (blue plug) is plugged into a USB header. And i have switched the pump and fan plugs with each other and even tried the CPU_OPT header, and same results. Also tried switching USB headers, nothing. Fans are spinning, pump is lighting up just fine. Everything is plugged into their respective headers. I even took off the pump, and reseated it using new thermal paste, same result. CPU will reach 80c within 10 minutes of being into the BIOS, which seems to be accurate as the base of the hoses on the pump feel hot to the touch aswell as the back of the pump. I have read the manual from front to back and everything looks good. Cooler is front mounted with hoses at the bottom. I have googled and googled and nothing has worked. I don’t even feel the pump working (by using touch to feel for vibrations). I have tried everything. This is very disappointing, i was excited to get everything running and even excited to try this cooler out as it’s been recommended by many. But so far it’s caused me quite a bit of stress, and unfortunately has delayed my build which I have been working on getting parts for for months. I can’t explain the disappointment in starting my first build in almost 8 years only to be set back by something like this. I have pictures of everything from the plugs, pump lights, fans spinning, to the cpu temps. Even a video of the cpu temp ramping up. Do you guys have any recommendations on things to try? I would really not like to go through the customer service system before trying everything I can first. If it helps I have a Maximus XI Hero with a i9-9900k Pics: Dropbox Thanks

I've recently gotten some very quiet case fans, and this is the first time that I've noticed that the constant static buzzing sound that my PC has always made is not a sound of my case fans. at first I thought it could be the PSU but that's not where the noise is coming from. Upon further inspection, I can tell that the noise is coming from my CPU air cooler heatsink, or possibly my CPU. I've tested that it's not my cooler fan making the noise, and the cable for that fan is not interfering with anything.

I'm planning to upgrade my second PC, which is primarily gaming first, unlike my first PC, which is a mixed workload, here are the specs below: Intel Core i7-6700K Asrock Z270M ITX/AC Coolermaster Vortex 211p* G.Skill Ripjaw V DDR4 2133MHz (XMP disabled), 2x8GB Crucial MX500 500 GB (M.2 form factor) Toshiba 2x3TB HDD Galax GeForce GTX 1660 Super. iGPU is disabled. SilverStone SFX-L 500W Apevia Qpack3 1x120mm intake and 1x120mm outake Blu-ray Writer Windows 10 Pro 1 - I recently swapped out the Intel stock (copper base) to the Vortex 211p, because the motor is dying. Currently my sibling is playing: Halo series Cyberpunk 2077 Metro Exodus Warframe Forza Horizon 5 I may upgrade it to either i7-11700K or i9-11900K (it's $230 difference, for the bundle, which is the ASUS Prime Z590M-Plus). Unfortunately, most of the shops I've visited, no longer have 10th gen in stock, only 11th gen CPU. I mean, there's 10th gen, but only the Core i3 10th. I'm looking at top-down cooler design due to: Case design Need for VRM cooling Easier to dismount I've been trying to search for a good top-down design, but most of them are: Too bulky Incorrect fin direction Looks difficult to uninstall for maintenance purposes If it were any other case, I would've thrown a H212 (whichever the latest version, and not ITX case). Any recommendation would help!

I have been looking on the market for a while and kind of been flip flopping around not being able to make up my mind trying to decide on new parts. So I waited to have a better budget and settled on 5800x and a new Mobo with a bit of flexibility for extra things. That's fine in all however I noticed I probably won't have a lot of headroom when it comes to the cooler (not wanting liquid cooled btw). It looks like the case I have has a maximum cooler height of 150mm but I am a bit stuck for choice finding the right thing for it. I was looking at the "Noctua NH-U9S" and seems to be quite small in height however it specifies on the site low turbo / low overclocking. Not sure how this translates to stock clock speeds but im sure that would be fine. Even if I potentially dip the voltage a little bit. Or I could go for a little bit more out of my budget for a "DARK ROCK TF 2" which is 134mm height, an overall better product and is compatible with the mobo. The obvious winner out of the two would be DARK ROCK but wanted to know if there are any other contenders under this size constraint as I haven't bought an after market cooler before. I do have another larger case with an older build in it that I can definitely fit a larger sized cooler in, however the current PC sits pretty much flush where it is now so I do wan't to keep this case because of that **Budget (including currency):** £50 - £80 **Country:** UK **Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:** Programming, Gaming / VR, streaming, 3D usage & productivity use **Other details** (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): AMD Ryzen 7 5800X MSI MAG B550M MORTAR / Wifi Corsair CC-9011075-WW Carbide Series 100R

I want to change my thermal paste and I unscrewed my cooler but I cant get it out it seems stuck it doesn't even budge . I replaced the thermal paste last May this year. -
This is an old EVGA reference edition 1080 ti i purchased from a friend around 2018ish, he had installed the EVGA hybrid cooler on it and also gave me the original shroud. Fast forward now, (my Hybrid cooler died) my system was hard reseting with no system errors besides saying an unexpected shutdown occurred in any graphic intense programs. Pulled GPU and put it in my roomates PC, angry water pump failure noises. So i replaced the original shroud back with XTM50 thermal paste on the die and it worked fine. Fast forward about a week or two and i purchase Topaz an AI upconversion program for video and have been running that for about a week. The other day i have the same symptom, hard resets on the system with no errors aside from the sudden shutdown and this happens now with any graphics intense programs. Occom's Razor says its most likely a heat issue again but i had my roommate test it while i was at work (OT on Q4 is crazy no time for myself rn) and he says no out of the ordinary temps during run, but idk what to do at this point. I had him run the Topaz program and it happened for him about 40 minutes into a video conversion, and happened in Halo Infinite 2 minutes into a round and then instantly when attempting to launch the training room. I might just have to buy a replacement in this stupid economy of cards. Any idea on what i can do here? 1080 ti is not at the point where it needs to be replaced for performance, and i really dont want to pay 2x MSRP at MicroCenter for a 3900xt or 3800xt (i go big so they last longer, buy cheap buy twice). I hope i gave enough info here, I have had a card fail before, it was an XFX R9 290 with an NZXT water cooler on it, im 100% positive it damaged my vram from lack of proper cooling. It had similar issues but instead of hard resetting it froze the image or black screened with audio still running. After a year of testing that one I was able to get XFX to RMA it and i have never touched NZXT products beyond a fan or case. Not really important, just mentioning this sense its a similar issue and im aware i could have damaged my card during the swap of cooling systems or perhaps it was damaged when its hybrid cooler died and was still in use. I just dont know if i missing something, and i feel deja vu rn with this card.

I want to know which would be better temps wise, a 120mm aio or a 120mm air cooler? The aio is a third more expensive. I only have these two available in my region form reputable brands: Corsair H55 RGB 120mm aio Thermaltake ToughAir 510

Hey i'm not from us or any other english speaking country, so I'm sorry for misspellings and mistakes - I'm a bit confused with that simple thing witch is - can I fit my ram sticks under my cooler - I was one click away from ordering Patriot Viper Steel 16GB DDR4 3733MHz CL17 but, I one last time revisited specs and I did find out that these are (I think) 45 mm high and my cooler supports ram up to 38 mm (also i'm not sure{Pure Rock 2 be quiet}) so I found another one (Patriot Viper 4 Blackout) that I saw rigs with it and my cooler working properly and when I checked the sticks hight I found number 43 with mm attached to it. Can I order that viper steel ram or should I buy something else (i'm open for suggestions, but min 3600MHz, cl 18 and I prefer not RGB, blackish colours) maciek -
Hello everyone, recently i was planning on buying a new cpu cooler, but the thing is that i want a normal air cooler which will keep an i9 9900k cool and will fit in my case and on the mobo. I have the NZXT 510 and my Mobo is an AsRock B365M Phantom Gaming 4 (LGA 1151). Thank you for any help and recommendations <33

I'm building a white setup but I'm just missing the cooler. I don't know so much about coolers so I would like some reccomendations about a white AIO. Max budget would be 200 EUR//227,07 USD, I'm buying it from Spain. The setup I'm currently building is this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6DdL68 Thank you.

This is for upgrading Budget (including currency): ~620€ give or take Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Main focus is gaming (newer AAA etc.), however it'll be also used for compiling and occasional 3d rendering Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I'm currently running a GTX 1070 with an I7 4790 and 16 gb if ddr3. While not bad I wanted to build a new PC but since GPUs are hard to come by for a reasonable price I just want to upgrade since I find myself more often then not CPU limited. (Monitors: 1080p at 144hz and 1080p at 60hz) I am planning to stick with my Corsair carbide 600c case, my 650 watt power supply, my PCIe WiFi card as well as my 4 sata drives and my sata DVD drive. And get an M.2 nvme SSD later down the line. I wanted to get an Ryzen 7 5800x to in the future pair with an RTX 3070 or the equivalent on the market when prices come down. I'm not sure however if the Ryzen 7 would present the best value or an Ryzen 5 5600x would be good enough and at over 100€ less present a significantly better price to performance ratio. My current shopping list/plan is as follows: Ryzen 7 5800x (~ 379,00€) Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz (~ 72,90€) However I'm not sure on the mainboard. The current contenders are: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus (~ 113,00€) Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II (~ 107,90€) ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming(~ 171,90€) with the latter on being significantly more expensive and I was wondering whether the second one which I'm tending towards is suited for it. Are there better price to performance boards I missed. Moreover I would need a new CPU cooler. I'm not sure what to get. Nocuta is good but not exactly cheap. What would be suitable coolers air or aio for around 60-70€. Should I stick to my Ryzen 7 plan or would you recommend another CPU and if not what would be an advisable mainboard and cooler combo? -
Hello! I have ordered the 12600k after watching linus’ video and I’m not sure what cooler I should pick, I know that he had mention/used the Noctua NH-D15 but I’m not quite sure if I should get that cooler or not (not looking for bang for the buck, just trying to get the best possible air cooler) Thanks!

Are custom loops better than regular air coolers or AIO’s in terms of temps? I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and I know, custom loops look sick if they are done correctly. But is it actually practical for temps? Do you get way better temps from it for your CPU and GPU? Are they easy to build? -
I’ve heard a bunch of people that say that for like a 5600X or something, get a 3rd party cooler because the stock cooler won’t be good enough. What about for other AMD processors, like the 3100, 5600G, etc. Is the stock good for lower-powered processors?

Hey! Here's my updated list, I just got the 3080 so there's the point of no return. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QjN9fP Important is that it's a quiet build, I initially wanted to give it a nice look with distinct RGB, but then realized the updated CPU 5900x needs as much cooling as it could possibly get so here are my two questions: 1. What RAM do you recommend for this build? Initially aiming for the Trident Neo 3600 CL16 but realized that 1a) they might not fit depending on the cooler I choose. 1b) they might not be visible depending on the cooler I choose. 2. What cooler would you recommend? It's like a vicious cycle I am stuck in right now and could need some help, haha. Thanks guys! -
I want to cool my charger brick (phone/vr headset etc) with a phone cooler that was featured in here: An ICE COLD Gaming Phone? - Durability Test! - YouTube will it be safe to put the cooler on top of the charger brick? Note - the cooler can reach to around 0 degrees -
(The image is my actual case). I just bought a new PC case and the generic coolers are in an intermittent rainbow ugly mode, I just want them to be of one specific color without fancy animations. I'm not understanding what should I do. I can change LED strip mode, but can't change coolers mode. I have an ASUS Prime A320M-K motherboard (without RGB headers) and RM550x Corsair PSU with molex of 4 pins like the image. I think Ill need to buy something right? What? (an amazon/ebay link would be ideal) Every cooler have a male 4 pin molex which are connected to PSU. Besides that, one of the cooler has a male 2 pin cable where it can be plugged to a VDG or a Reset button female cable. There is not other cable coming from the coolers.
