I have had the computer for about a year and a half and the CPU never goes below 90 degrees. I opened it up and the fan isn't clogged with dust, but I blew it out anyways. the fan is definitely expelling air at a good rate. I have checked for malicious software like a coin miner and have not found any. It can play games still, but not nearly as well as when I first bought it(it's been a little over a year). I have noticed over the past few months that the performance seems to get worse and worse. the laptop has a hard temp cap of 95 degrees, so most of the time it sits at 95 C. I always run the fans at max speed because I wanted to have the highest performance. i have no clue what could be wrong with it. It's only been a little over a year, there's no reason for the performance to take this big of a hit. I need help with ideas because I am clean out. Also the system audio has never worked(speaker AND headphone jack) i have tried everything I have found online to fix this(10+ hours spent on both issues trying to fix them) the audio has never been an issue to me because I use a usb headset. The reason I talk about the audio issues is that I'm wondering if it's grounds for them to just completely replace/refund the laptop. Thanks for any help, I am so tired, annoyed, and upset about the current state of my laptop. cpu is a 10750H, and I don't think it is a sensor issue of any type, the keyboard above the cpu is very very hot. The cpu only runs at 2-5% load with multiple applications open, but I get these issues regardless of if there is 0 or 100 applications open. I have reset windows completely twice to see if it would fix, it does not. I'm thinking about upgrading to windows 11. I have been told that it is a common issue in these laptops that the liquid metal dries out and that I should replace it with thermal paste, I have ordered some, but im not entirely sure this will fix my problem. I can still play games to a certain extent, like valorant at around 100 fps, but when I first got it this number was around 250. Thoughts?

I got my pc last week and I planned to overclock it, which is why I got the H170i, but I'm getting these temps with stock clocks after running cinebench (the right side is the max temps): So I can't move my clocks even an inch if I don't want to hit over 100 degrees. even 96 is REALLY high. Is there anything I can do? Is it supposed to hit these temps? I've tried lowering the voltage but I couldn't get under static 1.25V and -0.08V offset (a lower offset leads to a crash) which got me to around 84 degrees max, which still seems really high and I don't think I can overclock with these temps. Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

After upgrading to the Ryzen 5950x and my cooler I've been getting these incredibly high temps. Games like Valorant give me temps of 78c on max settings and idle (as I'm typing this), my temps are at 62c. I haven't overclocked anything as I've always been too afraid of messing something up. I've tried reapply the cooler and thermal paste. I don't usually have many apps running in the background either. Besides a couple tabs (I use brave browser), I've got Discord (temps are the same with or without it), Razer, G hub, Avast and shadowplay running. I usually clean it once every couple months but nothing seems to change even after that. Does anyone know why or what I could do?

I'm running an i7 7700k stock speed with an Enermax AIO. The temps are in the high 70°C to 100°C. Fans are spinning, I can feel one tube getting warm and the other staying cold so I don't think the pump died. I also get the same temperatures with the air coolers I've tested (Boxed and Be Quiet Pure Rock Slim). I've reset the BIOS to default, no OC, no XMP. Thermal paste is applied (Arctic MX-4) Core Voltage is at 1.312V The readings match the temps I've messured with an IR thermometer so that's not the issue. What could be causing the problem?

About a day or two ago both of my monitors shut off and my GPU fans cranked up to max. Despite this, I could still hear and speak to my friends in discord and my spotify was still playing. I reset my pc and continued on, however, this problem keeps happening whenever I play a game. My card now idles at about 50C and runs WOW Classic at 80C. I don't think the card overheating is the origin of the crashes as I've witnessed it crash at around 75C. I installed the latest drivers and nothing happened and I don't think it's a problem with my previous drivers as I had had them for a month. Re-seating my GPU did nothing along with rolling back my drivers. I built this machine a bit over a year ago, here are the specs CPU: I5-8600K, not OCed at the moment Mobo: ASRock Z370 Pro4 RAM: gskill trident z 2x8Gb 3600mhz\ GPU: MSI DUKE 8GB OC PSU: Seasonic 650W gold

I have both a desktop and a laptop with similar specs. Desktop- i5-6500, gtx1050ti, msi h110m grenade, 8gb 2133mhz ram, corsair vs450 psu Laptop - i5-8300H, gtx1050(4gb), 16gb 2400mhz ram I play games like assassins creed odyssey, watchdogs 2 etc. My desktop cpu seems to be too weak to run odyssey at 60fps as frametimes are in the 20-25ms. But while using msi afterburner to check statistics, it is boosting to the all core 100mhz turboboost and is at 95-100% utilisation throughout. But power usage is in the 20-25W range while being a 65W TDP chip. The temps are also really low, i never saw it going above 55°C whatever the load is. The issue then comes to my laptop which overheats near instantly to 95-98°C on the cpu and gpu sits close to 85°C under 90%+ load. The cpu here uses 30+W quite frequently and goes to the 3.9ghz (max all core boost) dropping occasionally to 3.6-3.7 ghz range even at such dangerous temps. I have undervolted the cpu by -0.15V using Intel XTU but i feel thats not doing anything. I have also tried changing the thermal paste, using a laptop coolerpad with fans but no change ever happens. Is there something i can do so that the cpu in the desktop performs better, and the cpu in the laptop to run a bit cooler?

So today i changed the liquid in my custom loop, after it running for a year. While changing the fluid i switched the CPU block from a EKWB-Velocity, to a EKWB Monoblock for the Asus Hero XI. Other than that i changed the GPU from horizontal to vertical, and bend some new hardtubing ofc for the change of CPU block and GPU direction. My GPU has a EKWB Quantum Vektor cooler on it, and its a 2080 TI, and running a i9-9900k as my cpu. However this so called upgrade ended in my cpu temps doubling, and my GPU temps going a lot up aswell, before the change my CPU was 30-50 at all time, and my GPU never above 41, even when under load, now CPU idle is 50, and GPU idle is 45. I removed most of the bubbles that was possible and in general removed as much air in the loop as possible yet i see these high temperatures, and wondering if there was any sugestions as what could cause this? And yes i do belive i applied enough theremalpaste and tightened the monoblock tight to the CPU. I changed my overclocking from 5.1GHZ off, and whent to factory settings, and yet no change in temps. *Specs* Asus Hero XI I9-9900k RTX 2080 TI Strix OC Edition 64GB Corsair 3200hz CPU Cooler - Asus Hero XI monoblock GPU Block - EK-Quantum Vector EK-D5 pump/res combo Using same liquid as before and flushed out the old liquid with destilled water, and again running EK-Blood red premix

I recently built a new PC, but did not order any extra fans for my case. I only got 1 extra (the 120mm exhaust in the back) since there otherwise was no exhaust fan in the case, only 3 120mm fans in the front. I keep getting temps of up to 84oC when I am gaming. Is this a normal gaming temperature for a ASUS TUF RTX 2060 6GB graphics card, or should I be worried and maybe get extra cooling?

Hi, i have noticed that my i9 9900k has gotten high to extreme temps in my small case (bitfenix prodigy m.) I have an NZXT m22 120mm AIO mounted in the rear of the case as exhaust. I have two 120mm exhaustfans in the top, right above my graphics card. (in the prodigy the motherboard is mounted upside down, so the graphics card is above my cpu. ) I would really like to keep the 120mm AIO form factor, because i am thinking of getting the In Win A1 in a couple months, and that one does not support 240mm AIOs. Any opinions and tips are appreciated. Temps: Idle: 41 degrees celsius Mediocre games (LoL, Overwatch): 60-68 Degrees Demanding games (BF5, M&B2 Bannerlord) : 70-85 degrees (sometimes it rises to 95 when under 100% load.) If i take any stresstests the temperature keeps rising and the cooler cant keep up.

I have just upgraded my i3 4160 to ryzen 5 3600 and i tried to monitor the temps while idle and gaming and the temps are a bit high from what i expect. Idle Temps: 60-80 Gaming (Valorant): stuck at 95+ I left everything on bios on auto expect the xmp for 3200mhz ram I think the temps are too high, please help. TIA

At idle right now, my clock speed on my CPU is 4.2Ghz. and my temperature keeps fluctuating between 49°C and 69°C. I jut bought all the parts to my computer of on the 27th April (Apart from the graphics card) and build it Sunday the 3rd may, so the build is brand new. Is there any cause for this

so i have a hp omen laptop, it has a gtx 1060 and and i7 8750h and 8 gb ram single channel, the temperatures are like 98 degrees Celsius on the cpu and like 90 on the gpu, so i downloaded intel extreme tuning utility and then ( after working out which is probabaly the best for me) turned the turbo boost power max to 11 and the core voltage offset to -0.150 - it won't go down any lower and now i am getting around 87 degrees Celsius on my cpu and same gpu temps, i want to ask if there is something that could improve thermal performance more but not effecting fps that much. Making the core voltage offset to -0.150 improved the performance with low voltage is that normal.

So I just built my new pc recently and it was working great, then all of the sudden I just closed out a game and my cpu fan ramped up to 100%. My temps were around 65c while gaming before this so I know my cooler works. I opened openhardware monitor and saw that my cpu was pinned at 100c. Felt the air coming off my aio and it was cool, no heat other than maybe 40c worth, felt normal. So I took another fan and sandwiched my reused alienware aio with a push pull, and updated the bios (maybe it was a faulty temp reading and a bios update would have fixed it idk?). I didnt have the problem after that for maybe 5 days. Then since I have 2 new fans coming (because I was sacrificing both my case fans for the rad and had to jank on a 95mm as a makeshift case fan), I took one of the alienware fans from my alienware r6 and put it alone on the aio and put the case fans back, since it was a higher airflow fan. The same thing happened while I was closing a game, my fan ramped up to 100% and my temps were at 100c. For thermal paste I used corsair TM30 and applied enough. Does anyone have any idea whats going on? Is my cpu just giving faulty temp readings? Any solutions? Edit: This only has happened a total of 4 times in the past 2 weeks with the most recent being today. Like I said i had a stretch of 5 days where I had a push pull and it was fine. After a restart it all goes back to normal. CPU: i5-9600k Mobo: ROG Strix b365-f gaming AiO: Alienware Liquid Cooler

Just installed my 7600k, looked at OHM and almost died. Is this a real temperature or something else? Should I get my fire extinguisher at the ready? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, HNTR.

Im new to the forum, but i just upgraded my computer to have a 6700k and a gigabyte z270 k5 motherboard (already had the processor). But after firing up the build i noticed temps were higher than expected, im using a corsair gtx h100i and the included static pressure fans with the unit but seeing idles spike from 32 to 47c quite infrequently and when trying a stress test without an overclock i hit 90c within 5 seconds of the test. This is extremely alarming to me, so i tested a different cooler thinking it was the pump but still shot up there within seconds. Im very worried that theres something wrong here and the temps are far out of my comfort zone from my 3570k being around 45c at full load. Please help!! im going to try more and do more research on my own, but anyone else running into the same problems that fixed it would be a huge help. Im thinking of trying to go into the bios and tweek the cpu voltage to take it down thinking possibly theres too much voltage going to the cpu, but it shouldnt since its stock speeds out of the box. Please someone help.

Hey, First of all I apologize because I'm not a PC wizard and don't know much about the CPU temps. This is my first PC build, hence I'd need some advice. I'm struggling because my i7-7700K temps seem a bit high even though I have a decent cooling (NZXT Kraken X62 AIO). I understood that the Kaby Lake flagship runs a bit hotter than previous Intel chips because of the higher clocks (4.2GHz w/ 4.5GHz boost). My 7700K is at stock clocks, no overclocking done. I'd be tempted to try it out but the seemingly high stock temps keep me from doing it. I had to replace the NZXT Kraken X62 stock thermal paste because I had to take the cooler off at one point. I changed the paste to a Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut, which had pretty good reviews. I hope I did it right, I used something between a pea and a line method to apply the paste. So basically I should have a very good cooling and paste combo for my CPU now and expected to get good temps as well. However the idle temps sit around 30-35C now. I could have sworn my idle temps were around 25C for that short time I had the stock paste of NZXT kraken x62. It seems to me that many have idle temps around 25C as well. Am I doing something wrong or is this really normal? I also get spikes of over 70C while playing (Civilization VI), just spikes, not constant temps. I don't know if such spikes are normal. I haven't measured my average temps while gaming. On below you can find some stats. Please let me know if I'm missing something. CPU Temps: Idle: 30-35C Cinebench: ~ 64C Intel Extreme Tuning Utility CPU Test (100% Stress, 15min): Temp Range: ~50-70C, going up and down fast during the test Peaks: | #0 - 71C | #1 - 69C | #2 - 71C | #3 - 72C | package 72C Things you should know: Cooling: CPU: NZXT Kraken X62 (100% Pump, 50% Fans), on top for exhaust Case: 3x 120mm intake in front (speed 40%), 1x 140mm exhaust (speed 40%) on the back Other: Case: NZXT H440 (2015 edition), not the most ideal for air flow but shouldn't matter that much Thermal Paste: Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB (XMP enabled, 3200MHz, CL14, 1.2V) GPU: KFA2 GTX 1070 (HOF Edition) Room temperature: ~23C Thank you so much in advance to anyone who bothers to help me. ❤ EDIT: http://imgur.com/a/zPGmR a screenshot during the stress test

So today I finally turn on my PC with the newly installed custom water-cooling loop. Leak testing took a while so I'm just seeing it this morning. Pictures here of the loop. There's a 360, 240, and 120 radiator, all by Hardware Labs. The CPU and full-cover GPU blocks are by XSPC. The pump-reservoir is also by XSPC but has an EK pump in it. My temps are obscenely high at idle. Help! GPU hovering around 50. CPU at 68 and climbing. What could have gone wrong?

I've owned the reference, blower-style, GTX 970 (the one from Best Buy) for about a year now. I've noted in the past few months that my idle temps on the card go much higher than when I initially had my GPU. The card on the stock fan curve at idle is at about 51 degrees Celsius, while with my custom fan curve it runs at about 49 degrees Celsius (40% fan speed). Then in games the card will jump up to 81 degrees and start thermal throttling on the stock fan curve or it will sit at about 70 degrees if I have on my custom fan curve at nearly 70%, which is very loud by the way. Honestly I am not all too sure what is causing my card to be running at these temps (When i first got it the card idled at 30-35 on stock speeds). My card sits in the obsidian 250d, so it pulls air directly from the outside of the case, with two intake fans pulling in air (on an h100i, idle CPU temps are 23 degrees, ambient of 22) and I have one exhaust in the front of my case (SP 120 from corsair). Airflow seems to be decent (mostly positive pressure). I also just cleaned the card of dust, not that there was much anyway, so I was wondering if it inst a problem with the fan on the card or the TIM. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hello. Last week i issued an RMA because the pump on my H100i V2 stopped working. I got the package today and i installed it as usual. The thing is that, i started the pc and the temps seemed normal until i tried stressing the cpu to see how much it would cool. I tried with prime95 and the temperatures went to 95°C then i stopped but it could go higher i thik. 95°C seems too high even for an AIO. My specs are: Intel I7 6700k EVGA 1070 SC EVGA Supernova 750G2 16GB of GSkill RAM I really don't know what is causing the high temps, last time i tried prime95 the temps wouldn't get higher than 75 °C Today i am going to try and buy some thermal paste and see if that may fix the problem. Also when i started the pc just after changing the AIO, the temps went to 60°C with just corsair link open. What do you guys think?? Have you had any similar problem??

My friends motherboard is 60c Idle but when he goes on games it goes to the 70-80c But the cpu is 23c Idle and on games 40-50c is this normal? for the motherboard Specs OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00GHz RAM: 16GB Dual-Channel Motherboard: Asus Maximus viii hero Graphics card: GTX 970 3.5gb

I have just checked in HW Monitor and one of the temps on the MOBO is really high, and I want to know, if this is normal.

So my professor and I built my PC around May 2016 and I've been using it since. Didn't ran into any problems and assumed everything's okay until now. When I booted it up earlier this morning, instead of booting up Windows, it instead went into the POST screen which didn't happen before. The CPU LED on the motherboard is lit red. On the POST screen, there's an error saying "CPU Fan speed error detected." (images below). After a while, another error comes up, "CPU Over Temperature Error!" When I ran the BIOS setup, the CPU temps were at 88°C idle and the FAN Profile doesn't detect the CPU Fan (even though the cooler is connected to the CPU_FAN header). I've read some forums online and some were saying that ASUS mobos are faulty sometimes and may display really high temps and RealTemp says otherwise. I then set the CPU Temp and Fan Speed Monitoring to "Ignore" so I can reach the Windows boot screen. When Windows had booted up, I ran RealTemp and the temps are at 90°C to 100°C idle. I'm guessing the problem could be A) The CPU cooler is faulty, B) the cooler isn't mounted properly, C) Bad thermal compound, D) the CPU itself is faulty (which I hopefully not) Sys: Intel Core i7-6700K Corsair H100i V2 ASUS Z170-A Corsair RM850x Note: Never OC'ed the CPU and is running at stock speeds; the radiator fans are in a push configuration upwards; using the pre-applied thermal compound Images: http://imgur.com/a/AYjxa Any help/suggestions?

Hello ! Good day to you all ! My Gigabyte Gaming G1 R9 390 has been giving me quite the service and it has been over 1 year now, the temperature reached 88 easily nowadays on heavy load so i decided that it is time to change the thermal paste, I have changed thermal pastes successfully over the past years on other graphics cards so I decided to do exactly what Linus did. But my GPU temps reach soaringly high ! To 94 DEGREES ! The Thermal LIMIT of the GPU! OMG. I reapplied, didn't work, still the same. Changed to a Cooler Master Thermal Paste, still the same. Now I'm worried.Can anyone tell me what went wrong ? And can anyone give me a video link to apply thermal paste on Gaming G1 R9 390. Help me. Please. TIA

Hi people, i have a strix 1070 OC and in stock it goes to 83ºC when playing GTA V. i have two intake fans, one exhaust and a CAPTAIN 360 EX liquid cooler with 3 fans, basically 6 in total. i saw in various sites that people get max 75ºC what could be the problem?

So right of the bat you can see my specs here. The thing that is worrying me a lot is the fact that the AIO cooler seems to not be doing it's job. (Keep in mind that all temps are in Celsius) By looking at the files that I've attached to this post you can see that the CPU is reaching 90° during load as recorded by AIDA and CLINK while AiS maxed at 75° This was tested when running the AIDA64 System Stability Test with a 4.6 OC from the normal 4.2. The tests were also run with the side panel off and an amb temp of 22° When looking at the idle tests that I also did the CPU maxes on an average of 50°. When I took the screenshots the temps went up a bit so going by the max temp on the pictures isn't accurate but they were pretty much 50° before I took the screens. This was also ran after the system got to reboot and cool down with the system on. The H115i fan speed maxed at 1320 rpm which I know that I can change to be higher or lower depending on different factors but that doesn't matter since the water in the cooler only managed a max 34.2° which took it 3 min to climb up to while my CPU got to burn. I know already that something isn't right cause there is no way that an AIO Cooler isn't able to keep a CPU under 80. I have tried refitting the Cooler. Reapply thermal paste 2+ times. Used washers for the mounting bracket on the back and done multiple tests using different clock speeds and other settings in bios. So right now I literally dont know what to do anymore. EDIT: Ran another test where I looked at the Q-codes temp measurment which reported a max of 69°
