I'm moving my computer to my bedroom soon I was thinking of cooling my PC with water cooling. but I want to move the heat from my room to outside. I live in Western Australia where it gets 10c-25c during winter but in summer it's 20-45c. I'm considering using a large car radiator outside my bedroom to cool my GPU. probably have a way to switch from outdoor cooling to indoor cooling if the outdoors gets clogged or leaks. I'm wondering how big a radiator has to be to keep the GPU at at least 50c-60c during summer. during winter ill prob use my PC to warm my room lol.

Upgrading GPU and CPU: Strix RX480 8GB OC > > > TUF RX7800XT Ryzen 7 2700X > > > Ryzen 9 5900X 16GB DDR4 > > > 32GB DDR4 (Kingston Fury) (x2 sticks) Looking for a good cooler (without breaking the budget) for the Ryzen 9 5900X, currently using an LC Power LC-CC-95 for the Ryzen 7 2700X and it's been doing a good job for it's price (35-41C idle > 50-55C gaming > 75-86C 3D rendering, 3D modelling, 2D graphics...), but it's probably not a good choice for a 5900X under heavy workload. I'm interested in opinions and/or suggestions/recommendations, I've picked out a few coolers that fit my budget. Looking at tests even on Ryzen 7000 series the temps seem ok , but I'm also interested in the quality and reliability of these coolers (a broken cooler won't cool ). Current case is a Fractal Design Define R4 (2x 140mm front intake, 1x 120mm rear exhaust, 1x 120mm floor intake). (with current lowest prices) - THERMALRIGHT Peerless Assassin 120 SE - 43 euros - CoolerMaster Masterair Ma612 Stealth - 54 euros - Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 Se Argb - 56 euros - DEEPCOOL AK620 black - 72 euros - BE QUIET! Dark Rock Pro 4 - 74 euros Peerless Assassin 120 SE keeps good temps in some tests and it's the most budget friendly in the list, but if I can't rely on it's quality to survive the 5900X during heavy work it's probably worth paying more for one that can handle it. I'm also not a fan of cheap AIO's so it's why I'm mostly looking into air coolers, unless there's a reliable and overall good AIO in this price range. Thank you in advance

Ill keep this short I have a gpu only custom loop for my 3080ti. My cpu has its own aio. For the 3080ti i have a single 360mm slim rad. However i am hitting 83 c temps on the gpu and my coolant hits over 50c after gaming for a while (3 hours plus). Since it is a gpu only loop i thought a 360mm rad would be plenty so I am wondering what is causing the abysmal coolant and gpu temps. any help is appreciated Extra details: I have a corsair d5 pump res combo and the corsair gpu water block. I use acyrilic hardline tubing as well. I have 9 fans total and proper fan curves gpu: 3080ti case: O11 dynamic cpu: 9900kf psu: corsair rm 1200w mobo: asus prime 7390 p

How do I connect high amperage fan to the motherboard safely?
YeetTheAn3On posted a topic in Cooling
I have 2 server fans I want to install to a closed PC with 2 GPUs for better ventilation. Each fan draws 2.5 amps and the mobo fan headers are capped at 1 amp. If I connect the positive and negative wire of the fan straight to the PSU, and PWM & TACH to the motherboard, will unsafe current run from the PSU to the mobo? -
Is there any cooling solutions available for this kind of setup? I don't play games or anything but constantly compiling large projects. I am just trying to extend the lifetime of this PC, not for any performance gain or whatever. Attached is a screenshot of `btm` showing the various temperature sensors. I have no idea how reliable these are...90C seems a bit much.

I really like the look of the z63 but I think the liquid freezer has better performance, is it a big difference, or small enough that I can go for looks. for a 13900k btw

I have recently purchased an NZXT H5 flow and I am looking to add some extra fans for extra air flow. Currently using the two fans provided with the case. These are fine but only seem to run at about 850 RPM (Noise isn't a massive issue as CPU fan will always be the loudest) Looking for some good value fans (Around 1200+ RPM) to add to the case, probably 120mm but i'm sure the case supports 140mm. Also I will now need to get either a fan splitter or hub as I am now out of motherboard fan headers, i'm not sure if a fan hub will be beneficial? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Sry If my my Question is a little Bit silly. Hey, I Just noticed that my CPU Cooler Fan does Not Spin in the Same direction as my other Fans & was asking myself If I'm Losing possible cooling. I have this PC For around 2 months now and my CPU has never Hit more than 65°. So i'm not worried about overheating or other Problems, Just want to know if i should keep it that way or Flip the Fan.

So I bought this laptop a month ago and the temps were crazy i want to play games but it self turn off after hiting +95C so i wanted to clean it and replace the thermal paste, but when I opend it and try to clean it wit 99% isopropanol and cottonswaps it just wouldn't go off and when i try to get it of the cpu and gpu die it ''broke'' of into some small metalish like peaces. Any help will be nice

I just got this AIO on clearance for $90. Just wondering if this is a good/trustworthy AIO. My temps are okay.

Need a good tower cooler for an older PC of mine that I am giving away to a friend, but don't want to buy them something that'll cool only the chip that I have in the system right now, but would like to give them headroom for any possible upgrades they might do. The current chip is I7-7700K.

I was searching on how to connect fans in a NZXT H9 Flow (max. 10x120 mm fans), but I am still not sure if my conclusions are correct. Also I understand that I do not need a fan controller. Let's assume that I have such parts: case: NZXT H9 Flow motherboard: ASRock B760 Pro RS cpu cooler: MSI MPG CORELIQUID K360 V2 7 fans: Stella HP ARGB 120 PWM or Stella HP ARGB 120 I would connect stella hp argb 120 pwm/dc fans in a daisy chain to one of the argb controllers (one fan is 0.4A, port will work up to 3A) and to 4 pin chassis port for power (one fan is 0.1A, port will work up to 2A) and I will see 7 fans in signalRGB. About this particular AIO - there is a tutorial to follow MSI tutorial, but from what I understand it is completely separate from those daisy chained fans. I will see 3 separate fans in signalRGB even though a splitter will be used. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

so i am pretty new to PC building, finally built my first PC after watching many LTT vids and getting a decent sell price on my old gaming laptop. I have everything built and running, but right now i am running a pretty basic tower air cooler, and i'd like to switch to liquid cooling if i can so it's easier to add additional storage and stuff as i need to. what are good options? are AIOs reliable enough? i have a Fractal Pop Air, so the biggest i could fit is a 240mm rad. any suggestions?

Hi there! I am posting on behalf of my husband. We are both music producers who use FL studio for our work and within the past two days he's been having some cooling issues with his CPU for no apparent reason. His CPU is an i9 9900k. When he's idle, temps are fine and they will be fine for a bit when he's working, but occasionally temps will spike into critical. (Over 100c°) My thought is that maybe his thermal paste needs replaced but I'm not entirely sure. I know a little bit about pcs but not all too much. He's had his pc for a little over 2 years and does work on it on an almost daily basis. He did recently instal an M.2 SSD but I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with the cooling. Any advice or suggestions is more than welcome. Thank you!!!

Im looking for a heatsink for my PC, i currently have a be quiet slim and am looking to upgrade it as Im looking to upgrade my CPU in future. So far my choices are; Noctua NH-D15 Thermalright Phantom Spirit (Non-SE or SE whatever i can get my hands on easiest and cheapest) or to kick it up a notch; Coolermaster MA824 Basically, is there anything better than these listed, im looking for performance first and foremost, price doesnt really concern me but if performance is even or extremely similar then id rather go cheaper (obvs ). Im not looking for an AIO or any form of watercooling, any suggestions?

Hello I am new to pc building and still a little rough on cooling layouts. In the picture below is my confing. Ryzen 7800x3d Cpu Cooler ak620 Radeon 6950xt XFX 2x 120mm intake fans pushing air into the case dual tower cpu cooler 1x single 120m exhaust I have an extra 2 fans should I add another intake fan? add another exhaust? I want to make sure cooling looks good before I begin burn in testing.

Hello! I have an unusual case of my 5800X starting to become hotter when I absolutely had no expectations to. I had built my PC at the start of this February and when I combined a 5800X with a Noctua NH-U12S, Arctic MX-6 thermal paste, and have it in a case with very good airflow, I managed to catch an unusually low 27C as my idle temp, even overclocked at 4.375 GHz. This floored me, and I swear that I am not joking and that I wish I took pictures of it. Now, seven months later before upgrading my motherboard's BIOS (removes an AMD security flaw with the boot setting), I saw that the idle temperature was now at 40-42C. This spike made me do some immediate routine maintenance after the upgrade like checking for dust (looked fine), dismounting the Noctua fans off the heatsink and blowing some compressed air to try and remove and lodged dust (wasn't really much, and it made no difference), and finally removing the fans again to retighten the side screws to from the heatsink to the mount. I had to tighten them quite a considerable amount but when I started up my PC my idle temp was still 42C. I get that this might sound like a first-world problem because 42C is still perfectly usable for a 5800X of all processors but was I not getting the correct temps when I first built this PC or is something else? I also have no recollection of changing any power settings in Windows but I can provide info and receive feedback for what to tweak. Thanks for any help I can get!

Hi so I just built my first pc last week and I was initially having some thermal problems but it was because I did not have enough thermal paste, after fixing the cooler I get idle temps of 28-30° and during gaming my temps are 50°-70° usually stays around the 55-65 ° for gaming but ranges from 50-70. The problem I’m having is when I run cr23 benchmark or heck even intels own xtu benchmark the temps right away skyrocket to 90-95 and thermal throttles. Right after the benchmark the cooling brings it down to 30° again. I’m really confused on why the benchmark is throttling so much when my pc runs really cool in general in these tasks . I’ve reattached my cooler a couple times the first 2 times I had too little or too much thermal paste so it wasn’t cooling right but now the cooling seems to be perfect expect during these benchmarks. Some advice please? SPECS: cpu: i7-13700k Gpu: 3060 ti Cooler: DeepCool LS720 360mm AIO Mobo: Asus prime z790-p Wi-Fi Case: Lian Li o11 dynamic - 3 Corsair fans as intake , 3 fans from aio as exhaust Psu: MSI MPG A750GF

Budget (including currency): €950 Country: Ireland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming and watching videos ( games like 6 siege, csgo, cyberpunk, valorant 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 plan to play on 1080p at 90fps-150fps and maybe 1440p in the future. Here is my list for parts and i have 2 Y-spliters to plug all the fans so they can all be controlled because my motherboard only has 3 fan headers and 1 is used for CPU cooler( Comes with the CPU). And wifi is essential cant run a cable. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xs34n6 I would like to know how many fans i need because right now im planning on getting 6 (5 arctic p12 pwn) and 1 included case fan. I want my PC to have good cooling and quiet if if slightly loud its fine.

I know there are a lot of similar posts but i needed to have a one on one talk with someone myself. Im running an asus tuf laptop with an R7 6800H and an RTX 3050ti. The idle temps seem to be around 60 degrees C and below which is decent for a laptop. However while playing, say OW2 the temperatures climbs up to 90 degrees C on low settings. since the idle temps are decent i dont think its problem of thermal paste or clogged air vents since its a new system. The fans also ramp up to max speed at high temps. So my first question is - How safe is it to operate at this temperature for the overall health of the cpu since i plan to use it for 5 years. Secondly - Say if im playing god of war then the cpu utilisation is decent so it makes sense for high temps but while playing ow2 the cpu utilisation is like 10-20% which wont make sense why the cpu temps go so high. I also saw a setting in the power plan in control panel where i can change the max power state of the cpu. Would it help to run the cpu on a low enough power to prevent from heating. This whole heating issue is with the cpu only - the gpu seems to be fine. Thanks in advanced.

I can’t get my GPU fans to run on boot stably anymore. I was able to do it once by fiddling around with afterburner but idk if I got lucky or something but they just stopped spinning and won’t spin up again. It’s a Dell Optiplex 5070 with a i5-9500 and an RX 6600, so I can’t just adjust GPU fan curves in the bios or anything. It’s a PowerColor Fighter RX 6600.

So I bought this MasterCooler 240mm AIO V2 the other day and fresh out of the box it made grugling noises. Ik its a bubble in the system but I have had it running for around a week now and it didn't go away The AIO is top mount so I don't think the way that is mounted is the problem I only hear noise coming from the raditor is self not the pump should I be concerned?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the LTT Forums so hopefully this is an ok place to post. I currently own a Razer Blade 15 Advanced with an i7-10875H and an RTX 3070 (95W TDP) and I've had it for about two and a half years. About every 6 months, I open it up and clean the dust out of the fans and the heatsink using compressed air, but I have noticed recently that the CPU is idling at about 70 to 80 degrees Celsius even after most of the dust is removed (at least from what I can see). The GPU idles around 50 degrees which I'm not worried about. When I first bought it, it was idling at around 30 to 50 degrees and cleaning it would help a bit, but over time it still seems to be getting hotter. I don't live in a dusty environment and the ambient temperature is always around 20 degrees at the moment. The temperature is not currently a problem unless I load it (and then I just figure it's a laptop so I'm expecting throttling and 95 to 100 degrees anyway), but it is currently winter where I live and it might become more of a problem in summer. Should I be looking to replace the thermal paste? I am comfortable with doing so, but I would rather avoid doing it if it isn't necessary since laptop components are particularly delicate. My laptop is also my only computer. Are there any other ways I can decrease my temperatures while still maintaining performance? I have seen that some solutions involve undervolting, but I have little experience with altering voltages and clock speeds. At least from what I can see, there is not a huge amount of information about this online, and what is there appears dependent on specific hardware and situations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
