I am wondering if all RTX 4090 heatsinks are the same cus I have a HP OEM RTX 4090 and I'm wondering if I can replace the heat sink for a msi suprimX or a rog strix or any other heatsink , is that possible?

I'm trying to figure out an affordable way to improve my Thinkpad T440p's cooling without breaking the bank so I done some research over the year and bought some cheap laptop heatpipes for testing. So I think I came up with a plan. My T440p has a 00HM903 dGPU fan so I plan to use a pair of copper heatpipes (one 7cm and one 6cm) to bridge between the CPU and GPU heatblocks. After finding a way to remove the paint safely from the affected areas of the stock cooler without damaging the pipes, I will use Honeywell PTM7950 padding to make contact between the cooler and new pipes to ensure optimal heat transference and then I will use the TechIngredients thermal epoxy to glue the sides to the cooler, sealing the PTM7950 padding inside. My rough plan for modifying my T440p's cooler. Keeping the new heatpipes straight, I'd only bend them ever slightly vertically to make sure both ends can touch the heatblocks. I figured a second extra heatpipe would help transfer more heat from the CPU to the GPU heatblock. Notice the copper/graphene heatsink on top of the CPU heatblock. In theory, this should provide maximum thermal performance with the best of both worlds - thermal compound and adhesive. I will also apply this principal to install some extra heatsinks to the CPU heatblock. Of course, this is all just theory so far which is why I wanted to bring this up here for any feedback and advice. Thank you.

so i just recently got a prebuilt PC from a reputable company. .I love the computer and it runs all the game i want very well. This is the first PC ive had since 2016. So im very out of sync now, as opposed to 8 years ago lol. Im using an intel i3 13100f..a gigabyte B760 MB..16gb of ram, and an rtx 3050.. so my question is one i know alot of people probably bring up, and ive read alot of forums and feel like i know whats going to be said when i ask this..but this PC was a large investment..and i want to take the best care as i can of it.. and btw my cpu cooler is stock, but at some point ill move to a liquid cooler, but it wont be for a few months, maybe less. SO under load, load being when download updates for games/playing specific games..ive noticed the cpu getting to 80c, or a bit under 80c. Normally its anywhere from 32C , like right now im looking at it and its 32c, with nothing going on beside google..with certain games itll b around 50-65c..i was just installing an 18gb update for this game..and it shot up to around 75c...this MB came with gigabyte control center installed so i can see fan curves, temps, memory info, overclocking stuff, etc...so the fan curves were automatically set up to run the fans at X speed when the cpu is at X temp...so the hotter it gets, the faster they spin..but im concerned becasue the fans go up and down sometimes pretty quickly to keep the temp at reasonable levels..and im concerned the the fans going up and down that the fans will wear out or soemthing. im NOT a tech guy, i love computers and hardware but im not very educated in all the specifics and etc..so please keep that in mind lol. So is it ok for the fans to jump around, speed wise? am i being paranoid?

I have a simple question.. i watched some videos of 3060ti and 3070 teardown.. and in founder edition the heatsink and the pcb looks identical to me.. I bought a 3070 founder from my friend without its cooler (he was using it in his watercooled pc and lost the stock cooler) in a really good price.. it will ship to me in a week.. i have a dead 3060ti founders.. So can anyone confirm me if the cooler and heatsink is same on both cards?

Is it necessary to use a rubber pad under the NVMe drive if the motherboard doesn't have an NVMe heatsink? I am asking this because I've read people saying that they can bend over time with a motherboard heatsink, so I was wondering if it can still happen without any heatsink on it.

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 am using a Thinkpad and recently installed a Transcend 2242 M.2 SSD which I fitted with a new heatsink. The heatsink itself is actually a 2282 NVMe one which I sawed in half to fit the 2242 SSD then I plugged it inside, booted it and installed a new Linux distro. It was working fine. However, after watching a Youtube video on copper shims, I'm suddenly worried if I hadn't cleaned my sawed-off heatsink enough and there might be a little bit of copper dust inside my laptop. What I plan to do is remove the SSD and heatsink to give it a good wash but I wonder if there is a mini vacuum cleaner suited for laptops (i.e. having non-ESD bristles) or if there is another way to suck possible dust out without having to completely take apart my laptop. Thanks.

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?

I'm wondering if its better to get an NVME with a heatsink, they're about the same price and I'm able to fit the mobos built in heatshield over top of the NVMEs own heatsinks, i.e Mobo heatsink - on top Built in NVME heatshield - between mobo heatshield and NVME NVME drive In that stack and in that order What I'm querying is, does this provides any benefit for heat dissipation or is it better to get one without a built in heatsink and fix the mobos heatsink directly to the face to the NVME?

Hi So I have an old laptop that I still like to use, Its a Clevo W230SD (i7 4gen haswell,960m 2gb) and the max cpu that was sold was the i7 4910MQ 47W and I want to upgrade it to i7 4940MX 57W Do you think that the laptop heatsink will cool that ? (If not I want to try DYI moddified the heatsink so i dont think it will be problem in the future but I am still asking) ps: Any idea on DYI heatsing upgrads ? Thanks for helping and sorry for my ENG -HeWeRcz

I just got a 5800x3d as one last hurrah for my AM4 system. Since my build is in the NCase M1v6, I couldn't have too big of a CPU. I wanted to stay with air cooling for ease of use and decided on the NH-D9L as an upgrade over my NH-L9x65. The problem is that whenever I run an all core workload (in this case, Cinebench R23), the CPU would hit 90°C almost immediately. I did the -30 offset in PBO and followed the setup from OptimumTech's video on PBO. After editing the power limit for the CPU in the bios, I was able to consistently get temps of 85°C under 100% usage. I've already tried repasting the CPU (from Noctua H1 to Arctic TP-6 since that has been working better for me recently). This problem happens in both an open air test bench and case with nearly identical performance. Is this what I should have expected from the NH-D9L or is there somewhere that I could have gone wrong with it?

i remember a video where linus puts a whol computer under miniral oil to cool it down. it had great thermal and looked awesome. but i always got bothered with the fact they left the cpu/gpu heatsinks on. like... wouldnt it be better to remove the IHS and gpu heatsink and directly let the oil touch the die? and just to be safe have a fan near the processor die to keep liquid moving. i would absolutely love to see this concept come to life. and if you like this idea to come to life. like this post and hopefully the team sees it as well

So you know how some people stickerbomb their cases? And others might do the same thing but with little fridge magnets or company badges (personally, I have a magnetic metal ASUS logo on my case), anyway, the back side panel of a pc case has a lot of surface area. I also realized that it gets very hot. Would it be a dumb idea to get a massive, low profile heatsink with a fridge-magnet-type back, and stick that to the back side panel? My brain says its stupid but my heart says do it.

So yesterday i bought a noctuna nt-h1 for my i5-11400, i applied it and yes temps did change a lot even with the stock cooler. i applied it yesterday and i took the cpu cooler off today because i felt like i applied too much but nope it perfectly is spread across the CPU surface and fan base. Do i need to re-apply tho since i took the heatsink off ? or is it good to go ?

So Im in the process of building a new PC, I enjoy enthusiast-tier air cooling and tend to upgrade my case fans and heatsink fans and have a large case with plenty of space. Will be installing on to an AM5 Build. Its just been a while and Im not sure what is out there these days. I was wondering why nobody seems to buy the "Thermalright Frost Commander 140" as testing has shown it actually cools better than the Noctua D-15 at full fan speed at the expense of some noise simply because the fans are higher RPM. But also because the cooler is just $60 USD. Seems to be a slam-dunk product if you ask me Also wondering what kind of thermal paste I should get. I used to use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut as it was the best on the market for thermal conductivity while not being electrically conductive. I heard they have better products these days and others have apparently stepped up to compete?

cooling Heatsink Sizes for GDDR5 Memory & VRAM on Titan X Maxwell
Timotheus865 posted a topic in Cooling
I recently picked up a NVIDIA Titan X (Maxwell) for $50 on eBay, which did not come with the stock cooling shroud or fan. As a learning exercise, I figured I'd try to put together my own cooling solution, and I am heavily considering a Kraken G12 with a 120mm AIO (though the Raijintek Morpheus II is another interesting option). My question is what size of heatsinks should I use to help cool the VRAM & Memory chips? Since I'm not worried about going back to stock, I'd also like to hear about suggestions for thermal adhesives/ cement. -
I just got myself a T440p and learned I can fit an M.2 SATA SSD and can easily buy a Transcend one with a capacity up to 512GB on eBay. However, to ensure it doesn't throttle, I would need a good heatsink so I looked online for the best M.2 heatsinks which are, of course 2280s so I would have find a way or someone to saw them in half. I learnt all about it here. https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=dT_xevPwKjo Though I'm wondering if I really need to settle for an expensive high-performance one or if a cheap and cheerful heatsink off of eBay would do just as fine.

Hello i'm in need of help so recently i just got a new Air Cooler Deep cool Gammaxx 400 EX recently. 1st accident: When i manage to pull it off the stock cooler the CPU was still attach to my Heatsink. I was able to pull it out (with a tiny bit of force) the attach CPU went flying off and bending 4 pins but i was able to repair/straighten it using a very tin needle. Luckily the CPU is still in working condition and was able to post. 2nd Issue: When i was done installing my new air cooler making sure it's tight but not too tight all of a sudden all of my games started Crashing, Freezing and FPS are going up and down. I was able to fixed the FPS and Freezing but the Crashing issue is still there. all pretty much all of my games are unplayable. Since i was able to fixed the FPS and Freezing issue. I open my Afterburner to check the CPU and GPU temps and usage for the crashing and so far this is what i got. while playing Elden Ring and GTA 5 CPU: temp 40c - 55c usage around 50% to 60% GPU: temp 60c to 70c usage 60% to 80% Idk what other info that i need to post so just let me know what to do so that i can provide more info. Here are my Specs: Ryzen 5 2600 (Stock was planning to OC when this happen) RX 6600 8gb 2x8GB DDR4 3000mhz RAM Seagate 1tb 7,500 rpm HDD Ramsta 120GB SSD B450 mortar Titanium BIOS version AMI BIOS - 7B89vAD 2020-06-16 Cooler Master mve 550w gold non-modular (This was the only PSU during covid i can get at that time) age 9 months old

Hi, hope you are doing good. I'm gonna first give a bit of context. I got an optiplex 3010 DT (2013 model) from used market at a relatively good price. It came with dell casing, dell motherboard, core i5 3570, 2*4 1600 mhz ddr3 ram, oem 260w psu, 250gb hdd and the kid I got it from probably added a gt 730 2GB ddr5 to it for some PowerPoint gaming (jk it's actually a good card it can run csgo and valorant pretty well at low) so anyways this costed me around 20,000 pkr which translates to around 100 usd. Now this is the first time I got a prebuilt so my happiness quickly faded when I realized that the motherboard is probably limited to only 50w of power because... Dell. When I booted it up it had linux installed which was a fresh installation and it started becoming... Weird. I thought maybe I don't really know how to use linux so I installed windows on it and then my suffering began. The computer randomly freezes and becomes paralyzed. Even during windows installation it just died and then I had to restart. First I thought maybe it's the hdd that's just getting slow because linux was warning about drive failure so I got an ssd. Fixed, right? No. It still continued to just randomly becoming paralyzed and what's weird was that when it "froze" I had to hard shutdown but then it would freeze while booting windows at the spinning circles. It would boot after I tried turning it off and on many times. I thought hey, it's gotta be the ram, right? Reseated the sticks same happened, cleaned them, same happened, tried putting them one by one each in different slots same thing happened replaced them entirely with working sticks the same thing still happened. Then my thought went to maybe the psu but it can't be. It doesn't "shut off" randomly it literally just dies and never recovers. I looked online and they suggested maybe unplugging every usb would do the trick but the same thing happened again and again. I finally thought well, it's definitely the motherboard then. I was randomly looking at the pc till I thought "huh, why is this die just bare? Shouldn't there be a heatsink and I touched the die, it was pretty freaking hot. I instantly knew this might be the culprit. I looked online and got to know it's called a southbridge chip. Now I don't know how long the person before ne used this pc as is with bare die. My only concern is if it has been permanently damaged. However I'm not sure if that is really the issue. Can anyone confirm if it's the southbridge that's causing the issue or is it something entirely else on the motherboard.

Parts: Mobo: Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i 33.84 CFM CPU Cooler (with adapter bracket for AM4) This small bit of the motherboard cooling system makes it impossible for me to mount my CPU cooler. I've tried pushing it in from the side to no avail, and the screws are too short to even get it on there, though the piece would still be there. What's my best course of action? I can take off the piece of the motherboard heatsink I think, but I've heard that you shouldn't leave it off. I think it's made of metal, so could it be possible to remove it and sand off the little bit I need for clearance? I really am stumped (and frustrated at the design). Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody, Recently bought used 1080ti assembled by Zotac. Gpu looked fine, good old furmark ran fine and card was not overheating. Allegedly seller said it wasn’t disassembled. After returning home tried to play some games, they would crash. Some would work for a little. Cyberpunk never launched, always crash while loading benchmark. Most of benchmarks run fine. Tried drivers, DDU, bios flash, give case more air, stronger PSU, different systems. Card says it’s not overheating, decent 70 degrees. So I decided to disassemble it since I know I was scammed. Die and heatsink is wrecked. Is it beyond saving? What could be the issue with crashing? High temp pockets?

Recently I've been working on rebuilding a 780 TI that I got from one friend so I can give it to another friend, problem was the heat sink and shroud were detached without the original screws. I ordered a screw kit and eventually got M2.5"8 and that fit all of the holes. The problem is, for some reason the heat sink is not connecting directly, which can be told by the image below (note how the IHS has a square pattern where the heat sink has a smaller circular pattern). I'm not sure if it's just the screws not being long enough, as I screwed them in pretty tight to the point where I loosened them because it looked like the board was bending. I'm unsure what else it could be at this point so if anyone has any pointers or experience with something like this then that would be great!

Hello guys! I really need to change my laptop's thermal paste as my CPU temps are going over 95c if I don't disable turbo with throttlestop . So I open up the laptop , remove all the screws on the heatsink and fans , and when I try remove it i can't. It is hard stuck to the GPU processor. I have tried warming it up with gaming to over 80c on my gpu and immediately tried to remove it, no success , I even tried with the hairblower. I've seen people online say to twist it , I can't , it won't twist. I have been scared to try to forcibly remove it cause' it might rip off the gpu or something. Have any of you have this happen? How do I fix it? At this point I think MSI put cement instead of thermal paste on my laptop. Thanks in advance!

as i recently got my first tower, i quickly found that the cooler was defective. however, upon ordering a replacement per my intel I7-7700's LGA 1151 socket, i realized that the cooler did not fit. i re-checked the listing, and it had multiple sockets listed in the title- LGA 1151/1150/1155/1156 & AMD AM4, which seemed strange to me. could it be these sockets all have the same size mounting bracket, or that the seller sent me the wrong one? how can i be sure of the size of cooler needed for my computer? any help would be great.

First off...yes its a macbook. I didn't anticipate getting this much into gaming when I bought it so now I have this small issue. This thing gets hotter than Satan's six pack at the gym when the game is running after a few minutes. hovers in the High 80C. I'm playing around with an idea of making a little custom cooler that sits on the bezel above the CPU. I want to get a piece of square piping, a small 20x20mm fan, and line the pipe with copper heatsinks that would draw up the heat. I'm still lost on a few ideas... Is it difficult to take a 3pin fan and tie into a basic USB-C connection so it can plug into my laptop? Should I get one fan to blow into, or suck out of the pipe? or one on each end? Is there any soft thermally conductive material I can attach to the bottom of the pipe so it doesn't cause any cosmetic damage to the laptop? Would somehow going for a small liquid cooled heatsink be better rather than all this? I've also thought about running some basic flat water pipes (if those even exist) over the bezel that hook up to a more conventional cooling set up? I could potentially use the liquid cooling setup when I build a more suitable gaming PC.
