Hi there! Today I almost killed my laptop because I left it running a game wile on a bed with basically with no fan intake other than what it could manage to get through the mattress for about 10 minutes... It was extremely hot and I was scared sh*tless. Fortunately, the laptop still works, but I don't want it to stop working because I just forgot to close a program... So I am looking for an app to close apps / the os based on a temperature curve. Does such an app exist? -
Hey my computer reaches 80 degrees C when playing "demanding" games such as GTA 5 and it used to be around 60-65 at it's highest. Recently it's been exceeding that and I have no idea why! I'm using the Corsair H55 water cooler as well. Here are my specs... AMD A8-6600K Corsair H55 16GB Dual Channel Corsair RAM GTX 560TI MSI A78-E35 1tb HDD 2X Samsung 850 EVO 250GB RAID 0 500W Corsair PSU NZXT S340 Case I've had a look on AMD website at my CPU and it says that it can damage it if it gets hotter than 75 degrees C and when running chrome and spotify it reaches roughly 67 degrees C. This is kinda worrying... hahaha Oh also I've got a fan in the back and 2 fans in the front of the case (I used to have the water cooler mounted on the back but it was creating dust problems fast. I only have 3 case fans in total). Oh also it's a positive air flow too. Thanks! -
HI, for some time I have experienced really dangerous temperatures with my gaming laptop (CPU: 95C & GPU: 93C) while playing any game, graphics demanding or not, I have tried changing the thermal paste on both chips but nothing changed. I would appreciate if anyone can give me any ideas of why this is happening. My laptop is acer v15 nitro black edition: CPU: i7-4720HQ @ 2.60GHz with 8 logical processors Video card: gtx 960m 4GB gddr5 RAM: 8GB ddr3 Thanks in advance

I am running a 5280k intel cpu, with a case with built in fans (Phanteks Enthoo Luxe), and a 2k rpm cooler master CPU fan (attached to the cpu with ameturely applied thermal paste) Anyway I noticed that today is quite hot in my house, I dont have a thermometer to measure it but it is almost intolerable. I began to wonder how my computer was doing under this heat and I went into my bios to find that my CPU was running at 45 celcius, which I understand to be a bit high for a cpu that hadnt had to do anything extreme that entire day. I began to worry "What if I tried to do something crazy on it like compressing a huge file, or playing a game with fancy graphics" would the resulting temperature form the increased workload be enough to damage my cpu? Is this a valid concern? How could I tell when this is happening in time to minimize damage?

I used to have A evo212 but it was not cooling my cpu so well keeping at around 60 to 70 c. So i saved up and got my self a karaken x61. But after i installed it my temps were still staying a around 60 c. I dont know what to do next and would like some help with is my cpu is AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor

I had this problem for a while after I installed Windows 10. When I game, usually Source games (CS:GO, TF2), my APU gets really, really hot, to the point where my computer just freezes in the middle of a game. However, when I use a stress test overnight, like FurMark and OCCT, it does not reach alarming temperatures and does not freeze. I do not use the GPU in my APU when I game, I have a new graphics card, so I have no idea why it heats up this much. Please help, it is interfering with my matches. EDIT: Forgot to mention that when gaming, my APU doesn't even use 100% load both GPU and CPU wise. -
Hello, Recently I bought new Tomb Raider. I am having problems while playing it - my pc shuts down after some time (about 30 minutes). My pc specs: Intel i5 2400 3,1 ghz; MSI GTX 960 2GB; 8gb Kingston RAM; 500GB HDD; 500W Codegen PSU (about 3-4 years old) and a UPS which is Lestar MD-450e (450VA, 270W). I get a message after booting, that my pc has come into unstable power supply problem and had to shut down for keeping safe the pc and etc. So my question is, is it because my old PSU (it gets hot while playing) or the UPS which gives problem to PSU?

Just a general question. Since i am very used to the cold and never turn on the heat, but i want to avoid turning on my PC cold. (i know overheating is a much larger concern, but i still worry about possible condensation due to an increase in temperature.) So, in short, will turning on the heat cause a significant enough change in temperature to cause condensation buildup in my PC? Thanks -
Yes this sounds dumb and useless, and my case would be very inappropiate. But my family that I live with really dislikes using heaters as he claims that it wastes a lot of power and only turns it on at night. I am thinking of using my computer's "wasted" energy to good use. I know my PC is not generating a ton of heat, since I do not OC and use the stock cooler that came with the i5, with a low power 750ti that is not OCed. I plan on using 2 intake fans on the front as exhaust, no intake. This is negative pressure, as I searched that the Define R5 suffers from, which I believe draws only the minimum amount of air from all any open holes, thus not letting enough cool air to dissipate heat, resulting in very hot internal and exhaust temperatures, which I am not concerned of since it is winter. I will open the door so that airflow isn't restricted. I will use the fan filter Linus used in the ultimate silent build guild for the rear intake. And I will do rendering or other intensive tasks to get the heat out of the PC, and do the normal fan setup during the summer season. I could have turned the case 180 degrees so the back is facing me, but my setup will be messed up and I sacrifice the beautiful front of the R5. Any opinion on this setup?

Hello, i just got home and my house is pretty cold. I know that bringing a pc from a cold environment into a hot environment can cause condensation, so can heating up a cold house cause condensation in my pc? I suppose if there is no condensation on the radiators there will certainly not be any on my PC. Also, can shower steam damage my PC? My bathroom is right outside my bedroom. Thanks, Noah

i was recently build my new PC with intel i7 4790k stock cooler , its idle temps is 50c and game temps is 100c .. thats really bad but i want to know why this is happening , is my stock cooler/thermal compound is bad or its just norms to 4790k ..... i don't even overclocking it .....tell me what the problem

A pilot project in Holland, called Nerdalize, has modified server racks to release residue heat and act as central heating. The main idea behind this is for a datacenter to have different server 'hubs' standing in living rooms of private owners, the computing power would still be used by the datacenter but the electricity (or any other energy source) used for heating in a house traditionally would be cut out, just like the additional costs for the datacenter to provide cooling solutions for their servers. The datacenter saves money and clients get free heating. http://www.nerdalize.com/

I'm having a very strange problem here with my graphics card. It's a Nvidia GTX 550 TI. The voltage before on idle state was something like 0.95V, I think, but now does not drop from 1.09V anymore, even idle. I tried first remove the card and cleaned all dust from heatsink and fan. Nothing has changed. So I tried to replace the thermal compound and.. nothing changed. Well, I still able to play normally with the card, I dont think that is a hardware error. So now I tried to reinstall the driver. I downloaded from Nvidia, beginning to install and error: The setup continues to install the Nvidia software, but I think that is something wrong on driver install. I dont know what is wrong with it. I notice that I can't also see the Perfomance tab, on NVidia Control Panel: Other thing that I notice was that while it's was installing drivers, at some point the voltage from GPU dropped to 0.95V, and the HWMonitor registered it. I think that something can be wrong on driver, or a least something in software, does not seems to be something with hardware. However, my OS is working fine, without any issues. I also after that tried install older driver versions, nothing changed, same problem. -
Hi guys, I have an Midea Super inverter 17 unit now I have 2 problems with it 1.the indoor unit puts out a very not nice smell odor don't know how to describe it - but its not breathable this happens when I first turn it on and when the unit is going into saving mode (five steps between 418Wph-936Wph max in cooling - 1036Wph heating) sometimes the odor comes in never mind the mode (but its strongest in the saving mode at cooling) 2.the outdoor unit is making like a jet engine sound when it goes up in rpm or pressure now it says on the unit that the max is 68db when I checked with the ipad microphone and an good app it goes to 75-76db and the technician from the company says the unit is 100% ok to the company but to me he says to go to court and let a judge decide and he cant do anything (like tell the company to replace needed parts or the whole thing) I have 1 year warranty hassle free and 2 more year for 100$ a technician visit. the unit cost me about 1100$ including installation any tips ? its an 2013\4 model so it shouldn't work like 2000 one right ?

Hi. so i have a 980 strix and added a benq monitor xl2720z 144hz to my setup,i have noticed that having two monitors the graphics card wont down clock to much keeping the clock at about 1100 mhz and vram at 3000mhz...so i changed the refresh rate and kept it at 120hz and that seemed to help and now downclocking to 135mhz\324 mhz but still very volatile...i had a temperature increase of about 10 to 15c Celsius ....pretty bad.......overall system temps just wont hold maybe causing heat issues. i know my case has not the best airflow nzxt 440 but still.....just wanted to track this issue with other brands like msi, evga or gigabyte...Nvidia should be aware of the issue why cant the card downclock at 144hz doing nothing or just browsing the web? on top of that some video stutter on some videos at 144hz have to change the refresh rate to 120 or 60.... find this process just really boring and consuming they could have done a better job on the firmware or driver to automate this.. any way seeking lots of feedback, i have googled the issue but seems its not really out there....

Hello friends, I have just finally gotten my computer built the way I want it. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4TYT3C I am so happy because when I bought the extra 780ti on ebay last week for like 325$ (a steal), the PCIE-2 slot on my MSI-G55 motherboard was broken. Well, it wouldn't read the graphics card, and I kept getting the dreaded error code 12 where there wasn't enough resources. So I sucked it up, and bought the ASUS hero VII. It works great and I love it except for one big problem. My top card gets WAY hotter than my bottom card. When I ran benchmarks, I'm talking 63 C compared to 83 C. I am not sure what to do. I can't really separate them anymore than they already are. If anyone can help or just tell me if they have had something like this happen before and their solution, that would be amazing. Thank you so much for your time reading this and I appreciate any help. THANKS AGAIN!! Sincerely, Anthony Bartholomew

Hello guys my cpu is 90 degrees + what should i do to keep it cool my cooler is stock aitr cooler and i thing overheating is causing lags on my sysetem

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130785 so i have gotten this card a while back no issues with it. it is a beast of a card handles everything i throw at it. but i want to try and squeeze some performance out of it. i want to over clock it and get some more fps out of it but right now while running Farcry 3 on max settings i will usually get 30-45 fps everywhere. but my issue is that it will sit at 70-80c which means its already throttling itself down so what I need is a gpu cooler, but i have never messed with gpu cooling so what coolers do you guys recommend for this particular card. i think my card is a reference design but not to sure what that means. so kinda fumbling blindly right now i don't think it is with the cooling in my case because even if i set my fat to 100% it will only bring down the temps by 5-8 degrees so i think i am hitting the cooling capicaty for the stock cooler.

Hello everyone, First time poster and visitor of linustechtips, I have built 2 gaming PC's in the past and am gearing up for my third build. I am struggling however because I would like to give a shot at a mATX gaming rig. After the past two weeks I am torn with the question of whether or not I am setting my self up for doom down the road. I chose mATX because occasionally I will LAN at my friends houses and would like something more easily transportable but don't want to sacrifice performance. My fist question is about the case, I need something with great airflow and have been looking at: -Bitfenix Prodigy M -Bitfenix Phenom mATX -Corsair 350d -Aercool DS (Dead Silent) I want to ensure that during my sometimes marathon LAN gaming sessions with will not cause my PC to overheat to quickly as I have had a problem with that in the past. Also I have a question about wether an I5 Haswell 4760k build is good enough or should I just upgrade to an I7. I know many games don't use hyperthreading right now. I mainly play WoW, SC2, DOTA, and some FPS's THank You

Heres my current setup (nothing overclocked): CPU: old i7 (920) GPU: Stock GTX 770 PSU: Corsair 750 w something a hoosit. MOBO: Asus rampage gene III RAM: 12 GB of Vengeance HDD: Seagate 1tb 7200rpm Case: Some cheap shit I found for like 30 bucks (which I assume is part of my issue) I have two intakes, One from the top of the case and one from the side panel that pulls fresh air onto the GPU. The only exhaust is past the rad at the back of the case. Ok. So the Issue I currently have with my tower is heat and dust/fur. My house is all carpet and we have two cats. I knew hair and dust was going to be an issue right away so I went with watercooling on my cpu (h80i) and I tossed all the stock fans for some cougar ones I got a nice deal off newegg for. I also nabbed some filters from a big brand that I cant recall off the top of my head at the moment, but they rock. The room my computer is allowed to be in runs from mid 20's Celsius to 38C+ at times (at night when I do MOST of my heavy gaming it can actually cool off quite a bit to. I cant change rooms or use air conditioning and for external reasons I have no power over that at the moment. Anyway, with the room running temps like that Ive found my computer to idle at ~40-45 C on GPU and ~ 45-50 C on CPU. When I start to stress the system and play my games it can throw my GPU up to a max of 85 C and my CPU at 55 C. I clean out my rig twice a month and dedust all fans/filters. Its sorta required with the cats n stuff. But im worried that running those temps on a pretty regular basis (almost every day) will kill something. Im also wondering if I should flip my PSU over and pull in from the case since its not getting much of an intake from my carpet. Should I add a third intake or a second exhaust? I need help. I feel like its running way too hot. If you guys have any tips for tweeks in my build or just to tell me that im being too paranoid it would be a big help.

I have a gigabyte z97x-sli, i5-4670k stock, asus r9-280 gpu. xfx 600w pro core PSU, adata 2x4gb ram I built this PC myself, the first time I put the cpu and cooler together I was getting temps that would jump up pretty fast and it 90c or a little more once. So I ended up cleaning the cpu and reapplying the thermal paste(ceramique 2). This time it is better, the highest I seen it go with prime95 was 81C after a few minutes. It did not look like it was going to go past that when I stopped it(I let it fluctuate a bit before I exited it. P.S. The case is a Corsair 230t, which has 2 intake fans and 1 rear exhaust fan. I plan to get a hyper 212 evo for it sometime soon, but I want to play SWTOR for a while until I can get one.

Heya, So I bought an another powercolour 290X LCS from ebay to my system to go crossfire. After installation, when I monitored the the temperatues I was shocked: Idle temp of the top card, which is the old one that I had already, was 60C and when trying to watch videos with browser, the temps climb VERY quickly to 90C and beyond until the computer shutsdown itself. I carefully tried to do little gaming and the FPS there was only like 30-40, when before with just one card it was about 70-90. Im running watercooling system with 120 radiator, 240 radiator and one 200 radiator. Im using EKWB's triple parallalel terminal with the middle slot closed with blank connector, so theres 3 PCI-E slots between them in witch one of them I have soundblaster fatal1ty champion soundcard. Pump is aquastream ultra and it seems to have enough power for good flow. The another lower GPU and CPU seems to have pretty normal temps.
