You might remember me here form this post http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/137427-is-this-the-optimal-airflow-configuration-i-could-get/ But now I'm back at it again and decided to go with a 240mm radiator instead of a 120, mostly because most 120mm are too thick compared to a thin but long 240mm. I have made 4 possible configurations with 2 fans and a 240mm radiator with 2 fans. Each are different and all have problems and none really satisfy me the most. I would like to ask you guys which is your favorite and why. All of these configuration only have 2 fans and the radiator + it's 2 fans and I don't want to add anymore because I don't want to add more possibility for dust entering the case or more sound. Also I don't want to purchase any external case filters because they're just ugly. Basically my 3 goals are: lowest temps possible, while lowest dust entering case as possible, while being as quiet as possible. Heres the configurations in a imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/qDyfP Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hi there - for who ever reads this. For a few months now my CPU (Intel i5-3570k) will just stay at 60 degrease and sometime if it's lucky it will go down to 55... I have a H60 from Corsair and its constantly is has high RPM and all u can hear is that... I have a 750D From Corsair with all AF 120 fans going at 55% which is fine, quiet, and cool... GTX 770... But tho my CPU gets really hot but nothing else does... I don't know if it my CPU acting funny all of a sudden, but could anyone give a few suggestions that i could do to improve it? This image above, is my CPU on a good day... I want it to be cooler, quieter, and more efficient? Thank you - Sincerely C.

Extremely poor paint diagram of projected airflow configuration: http://imgur.com/rCnAIVf So Ive been piecing together my next build for about a month now, and now that I have all the parts picked out, I'm just making fine adjustments to make sure this thing is near perfect day one. To start the rig is going to be an SLI build, but both cards I chose are blower style so they get rid of their heat on their own, so thats not my worry. My worry is the water cooling radiator (dun dun dun, did he just say water cooling radiator in the air cooling section), I don't what the optimal position for the rad and fan is, I picked the first google link for the question, optimal radiator placement or something like that and got this article: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/printpage/Which-is-The-Best-Configuration-for-120-mm-Liquid-Cooling-Fans/1738. The lowest temps were achieved by the radiator being mounted on a the top of the case with the fan mounted under as an intake which resulted in the lowest temps. So heres a poorly drawn paint diagram of how I would imagine the air flow in my case would work: http://imgur.com/rCnAIVf. What do you guys think, any way this could be revised for minimum temps with my limited 3 fans (I might get a the liquid cooling system thats a step up from the one I have chosen with 2 fans, making 4 total). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Edit: Also I have one more question, its about the dust flow of the case. I know for a fact that the case I'm getting has a filter for the front fan, and the bottom PSU and vent, so if I'm using the radiator as an intake will it be bringing dust into my case, or will it most likely be sucked out by the back exhaust instantly? BTW, my house is very very dusty all the time. Thanks again for the help.

Yep, this has been waiting for a while. My review on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Gigabyte Windforce 3X OC 2GB. First off, the card itself. It's not amazingly beautiful, but it is by no means ugly. The looks seem to be a love or hate thing, but I am on the wall. It looks more in place in a HAF 932 than in a C70 or Arc Midi R2. Next, some specs. Taken from GPU-Z Now that that's out of the way, let's talk numbers. To be honest, this is not going to be about graphics performance. I can play BF4 at Ultra settings at 1080p very comfortably, in the 60s for FPS. The issue (and the meaning of the title) comes in here. The GPU simply runs hot. It's not GK104. My friend has an EVGA ACX SuperClocked card and it never goes over 65C. But, my Gigabyte Windforce card, of which is advertised as being able to dissipate 450W of heat, is not doing it's job properly. The card actually reached 84C with the stock thermal paste, yet somehow it was fine 2 months prior. I then replaced it with IC Diamond 7. I saw a decrease to 76-78C, which is not bad, but still unimpressive. Overall, it's not a bad card. I will be moving my rig in my basement since the temps are a lot cooler down there, but I don't know what to say for this card. I love it, but it is far from perfect. If I had to give it a rating, it gets a solid 9/10, but I would still recommend an MSI Lightning.

Hey everyone just a quick question Ive been wanting to overclock my cpu but I have had some pretty inconsistent numbers in terms of temps so I was wondering will my CPU just shutdown or freeze my PC if the overclock gets to high and it heats up to much?

So I've seen a lot of people hating on the R9 290 because of the amount of heat it puts out and a lot of people recommending GTX 780's because they apparently run "a lot" cooler. I looked up the TDP for them both and as you can see in these articles (R9 290 and GTX 780), the R9 290 has a TDP of 300w, while the GTX 780 has a TDP of 250w. So that's only a difference of 50w, which doesn't seem that much to me. If it really isn't much, why are people recommending the 780 over the 290 even if the 290 in question has an aftermarket cooler? I'm aware the stock 290's cooler is crap. In Australia at least, there is a big enough price difference between the two that I would be inclined to think the 290 is better value. The cheapest 290 you can get here is $519 (XFX) whereas the cheapest 780 you can get is $579 (Gigabyte), both from PCCG. So why the hate? Are most people on here really Nvidia fanboys?

@LinusTech , on the livestream you said there is "somewhat of a correlation" between the power a chip consumes and the heat it puts out. This is quite an understatement. In silicon chips, the power a chip consumes equals the heat it puts out. If you've had physics in school, you should know that you can not create or destroy energy, energy can only be transformed. This means that all the electrical energy (or power, if you look at it on timely basis) a chip consumes, must go somewhere, be transformed into some sort of a different energy. Seeing that there are no moving parts inside a silicon chip, the only way a chip can consume electrical energy is by wasting it as heat. So in a chip, electrical energy is transformed into heat. This means that the electricity a chip consumes is equal to the heat it puts out. As simple as that. It doesn't matter to what you're referring with TDP (heat or consumed electricity), both of the ratings are exactly the same. On the topic of the power consumption curve related to overclocking: it is only when you start upping the voltage that the curve becomes quadratic. As long as you only change the frequency and don't touch voltage delivered to the chip, its power draw (and therefor heat output) is linear. Hope this clears up some of the confusion.

Hi. I'm new to this forum so sorry if i placed this topic wrong :S but i have a question: im planning to build my own wooden case of mdf wood, is there anyproblem with heat? so yes what can i do to make it not to go up in flames. please your opinion. sorry for the bad english i know its terrible :P Tom

I have an ASUS directcuII graphics card. The temps on this thing go ll the way up to 89c when i'm bitcoin mining. I never leave the bitcoin miner on for long as i'm not comfortable with the temps that high. i know that i have plenty of airflow in the case and the card i had before this (gigabyte GTX 660) would only hit temps about 68c. Why is this card getting so much hotter that the last one?

hey,i hope that you can help my with my buying 1) i have a I5 3470 and i have some zalman shity heatsink and its making tones! of noise i need a new heatsink.i wont do any overclock to the cpu i just need some quiet cool and not expensive heatsink 2) i have a sparkle gtx 570 and i want to over clock it but the temp are high i think that if ill put a direct air flow fan underneath the exhaust fan of the gpu it will get a fresh supply of air all the time what is the best fan for this task? thanx! :)

What kind of things affect a GPU's Durability? I know that heat is an issue, is there anything else?

My friends XFX 5770 (locked bios and one xfire finger version) temps were just climbing so I replaced the thermal paste and the pc no longer BSODs and runs fine but are these temps normal 74*C idle and 70% fan speed. I ask because that's what my old sapphire 5770 would be at benchmarking and idle it would be at only 30% fan or something should I RMA his card.

so i got this awesome software, http://cam.nzxt.com/ and this shows up alot now. is that bad for my ssd. temps reaching 75C

Hi there, I'm currently running my PC in an NZXT H440 case. While I really enjoy how silent this case is when using my PC on the desktop, I'm having some trouble when gaming. I'm running the stock fans in front, with a Corsair AF140 Quiet edition in the rear and 2 Corsair SP120 high performance editions in the top with an h100i in push. Thing is, I'm running 2x MSI Twin Frozr III HD 7950's in there too, and they are getting a bit toasty. When running demanding games, I have seen the top card pushing 90c with the fans on full. This also makes them very loud since they ramp up their fans to 4000 RPM and make on hell of a whine. So, does anyone have any suggestions on how I could improve the airflow so that my GPU's don't melt? Maybe replace some fans or change the layout?

Hey guys, I'm facing the question whether or not to plasti dip a mainboard (yea covering up the connectors, heatsinks, pcie and ram slots and the socket, I know). As the same question occurs to every type of mainboard-paintjob, I kindly ask: could someone with an IR-camera please take some photos of his/her mainboard running on a bench with only a gpu in a pcie slot under full load (I recommend p95 blendtest furmark music playing via headphones via crappy onboard (yea I know) crystal diskmark on hdd AND a fast USB 3 flashdrive copying a huge file from a nas all at the same time for 10 minutes or so) or even without the gpu so that we exactly know which components get hot (except for the obvious ones like cpu, chipset aka north / southbridge, GPU (if any) and vrm). Note: Goal of this is to find out how hot and especially which things COULD get. The results of the benchmarks naturally do not count, it's just all about maxing the stress. The Pics even don't have to be nice or anything. That way there would be no doubt for future moders which components to cover before painting / plastidiping etc. as future mainboards will probably pretty much have the same components. In theory LinusMediaGroup would have everything except for the IR camera (or do they), so they could do it (if they can afford the time). As Slick happens to do benchmarks quite often on a bench, it even probably wouldn't take much time to do for him. But then again he seems to be quite overworked (just thinking loud). If anyone could do such a thing, that would be really great. And I'm sure we would see a lot more paintjobs on mainboards in the future, too.

Title explains it all really. -
tthrottle, developed, I believe, for boinc: is it trustworthy? its values are lower, typically by a few degrees centigrade, than realtemp or hwmonitor (both of which seem to read the same temps). tthrottle seems very professional and well-built, and, considering it came from the boinc arena, I would like to trust it.

just got a new h100i to cool my cpu. I get a max of about 55 degrees (Celsius) running a prime 95 blend torture test. is this good? and is this temp worth the 100$ i spent on the cooler? keep in mind I do have a substantial overclock on the cpu of over 1ghz past the stock speeds. any input is awesome, thanks in advance! -
Hello, i just built my pc with the following specs MSI GD65 gaming motherboard Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4 GHz Quad-Core 6 GB ram Casing : THermaltake S21 Power supply : Cosair TX650M Help me how to choose watercooling and how to install . and which one can be compatible according to my specs Thank you for your reply and suggestions

So I have a 6800k that Im water cooling with the Cooler Master Seidon 120XL. Having my pump and fans turned up to the max and it runs as hot as 75C when gaming. I swear this is running hotter than it needs to. I'm not using the integrated graphics ether. Can anyone offer me insight of how I can cut that heat?

Hello friends, My friend has the following system with the PSU mentioned above: Dual Core E5400, 3GBs of memory, 9800GT all attached to ECS 945GCT-M2 MB. He also has 2 hard drives. 1. From time to time, the PSU gets a little warm is this an issue? Since the system is not that demanding for the PSU. 2. Under idle, the PSU fan spins real slowly (one can even count the blades). Is this normal? 3. Is there any program that can measure the RPM of the PSU fan? 4. Can this PSU manage a FX-8320 OC'ed to 4.5GHz with dual GTX 660s with 2/3 hard drives? Thanks a lot.

Indigo xtreme vs coollaboratory liquid ultra
jathor posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
as the title implies, has anyone ever tried any of these 2 products? do they really help? I have been using IC diamond for years now, i find it to be the best (from my experience) http://indigo-xtreme.com/ vs http://www.coollaboratory.com/en/products/liquid-ultra/ -
I have an EVGA GTX 670 FTW and am running two monitors at the moment. One is 1080p and the other is 1024x768 and when i plug the second one in my gpu temp rises about 12° Celsius at idle. Is this normal? And is there any way to lower the increase? Thanks.

First of all i fucked up my previous 10 page long try in posting this Topic so now i have to start it over which is unpleasant. I'll make it short now because i don't like retyping all again. In short: My GPU (Stock cooler EVGA GTX 660) MAX temp rised from 72 degrees to "unlimited" in last week, and by unlimited i mean when it got up to 100 degrees and i noticed it i started shitting in my pants a little and turned all off, otherwise it might gone even hotter. It just keep's rising and i can't understand why. Not much changed in last week (that is about when it started doing this) except i played The Showdown Effect, and it is not so much demanding game (at least it should've been) i got from humblebundle. The only reason it might been important, is that it's extremely bugged and my GPU got loaded up to 100% for 100% of the time i played and rised temps to 73 degrees which is ridiculous because it is simple sidescrolling shooter, by that point i wasn't pleased and i decided not to play it since. The real trouble began when 2 days ago my friend asked if i could play a new Borderlands 2 DLC with him since solo is not cool. And at first i was like "sure", but i didn't launch the game for 2 month or so, and when i did it that day my GPU almost fried itself. It got up to 95 which never happened before. And it is the same game that i played 100 hours (as Steam says), on temps not even reaching 72 degrees all the time... Some info about GPU: Important facts about my EVGA GTX660 are - i got it on ebay for cheap (well 180$ with delivery was not cheap for me but still better than in my country) and have no idea what previous owner did with it. It also overheated almost like that from the box (well not exactly THAT bad), but this issue was fixed easily by just applying my MX-4 thermal paste. It was not hard to do and it decreased temps drastically by about 20 degrees. Since then 72-73 was my top temp, and i remembered it because it never got hotter under furmark. Now when i tried to run furmark it got up to 100 in about 5 seconds and that's when i did panic a little. Some things i checked already: Drivers are the latest for my gpu (326.80), i also checked thermal paste since i thought it might leak or something, even thou it looked good i did reapply it just in case. Didn't help at all. Also noticed some blackened marks on the areas under the cooler which i assume are burns from freakishly heated GPU... and it is making me even more sad. Have no idea what else can i do, help please? P.S. also here is a screenshot of MSI afterburner (it's in russian but not hard to understand) and the important parts are - no overclock, and the max registered temp.

I just want to clear up some confusion about what causes damage to CPU when you begin to overclock. Is it the heat that kills it, or the voltage? Now, I understand that if you try to give it some crazy amount of voltage it's going to fry, but if you give it a safe voltage(under 1.5V MAX), is it the heat produced by said voltage that will eventually kill the CPU, or is it the voltage directly? Another way to ask this question would be that if you give your CPU a REALLY good cooler(say, a magical, non-existent LN2 sustainable cooler), could you give it a higher voltage without shortening the lifespan of the chip or would it's lifetime still be shortened?
