Hello, Recently i bought a new phone. My question is, i sleep in a cold room with no heating 5°C and lower. My phone is obviously next to me because it has to wake me up. Is it bad for the battery to be charged at that temp? Or maybe just left there overnight without charging it. Second. I did try to charge it at 4° at fast amd normal charging and it was pretty slow so i unplugged it. Could i have perma. damaged my battery? I did read about that but people talk only about temporary loosing capacity and that stuff. Cheers!

Hello all, as the title suggests, whenever I clean my home office, unplug and switch off my rig, and leave it like that for a while, it fails to boot up after replugging it in and flipping the switch on. It works after I short the two Mobo pins and after that it shuts down and reboots like a charm! Should I be concerned about this? It works great otherwise! I’ve yet to find any short in the system, diagnostics never turn up with any errors, memtest shows nothing wrong with my ram; it’s just weird all around. I’m currently running an Evga 750 watt PSU with an MSI z490-a Pro motherboard.

Hi I have searched for a while now and havent found any answers so i thought i could ask the comunity and what i wondered was that. In my room i have like a walk in closet that i have stuff in and it's colder in there than it is in the room i think it's about (10-15C) in the closet and maybe (22-25C) in my room and i want to know if i can run my pc there,i am doing it right now but everytime i go to sleep i bring it out because i'm afraid its gonna break my question is should i keep bring it in to my room everynight or can i have it in there over the nights? i know that water is a factor but i dont think it is gonna be water particles because it is not so cold in there but still colder than a normal room, And can i start it when it is cold the next day or should i take it to room temperature and then start it? thanks for reading this long text i apreciate every help i can get!

Keeping my computer AM 9590 CPU and xfx rx480 GPU cooled all winter long, infront of my window, out of the case, i have nailed a peace of wood on the back of my sofa witch is infron of my window, and its a great idea for when your gaming to keep temps down!

So I ordered a GTX 1050TI off newegg and i just got it today, it was sent via purolator, I tracked it around 3 pm today and it said it was delivered at 2:45 PM and I live in Manitoba and its -18 C currently, the heatpipes had some frost on them but the box wasn't nor was the PCB, should i wait for it to warmup, test it now even though its cold or contact newegg / purolator?

So I been thinking, could it be possible to design and invent a device that uses cold fusion to power a computer ? This would decrease man kinds energy consumption cost by about half, as half the worlds energy is spent on running the computers that run the world. Why not have a computer that generates it's own power. Any ideas on how this might be possible ?

Hi, I'm currently running a streaming server which is using an AMD FX-6300, it is showing 6 different temperatures (im assuming its for each core?) and im not sure if i 'add' the individual temperatures from each core to equal a rough estimate of its total temp'? Could anyone tell me how this works? Here is a photo:

Simple question, if I put a radiator outside for my servers and on some days it gets much colder outside than inside, how much risk is there of condensation? How do I prevent this risk? Thanks!

Hey people! I've been looking at x299 motherboards for a while to see if there are any awesome improvements compared to the x99 motherboard that I have. Something that I have never seen discussed and couldn't find anywhere is the cold boot time. x99 seems to have the 'problem' of being rather slow when you start it up because it has to test all the PCIE lanes and DIMM slots (or so I've heard). It's not something I feel very bad about, but if it would be improved by x299, that would be a good benefit of it. So mt question: Do any of you have experience with the x299 platform? How is the cold boot time (time from pressing power on and windows starting to boot) compared to x99? Sorry if I made any mistakes in my assumptions or used any terms in a wrong way. I have only built one pc and only upgraded storage and GPU's

So I am going to college and I want to make some coffee for throughout the day every morning. Which would be better hot or cold?

Would love to see this feature as in some other sites started using it , also would love to see something Christmas~y Plus another suggestion on mice pointer modified as like Dennis with a Santa hat or a sparky stuff like that , Any of this possible?

I found this person that showed a metal that could be used to cool a CPU under ambient and won't draw 500w , any ideas and opinions on that idea ?

Alright. So I live in Canada, and in Canada it snows 7 out of the 12 months and tempts hit -20 C, -30 C (Celsius). Now I have a laptop with me, a Zephyrus G, in my backpack. My question is will the low temps damage the laptop or no.

So i have a FX-6300 and noticed something is odd. My cpu idle temps were 15°C and at first I was suprised and relaxed about it. But then when i stress tested it (3,5 GHz), the temps were around 20-25°C. So I decided to overclock it to 3,9 GHz and do the stress test again. This time it was around 35-40°C and I was kinda worried. Is it possible that the temps are wrong and something is malfunctioning because this is too cool for a overclocked CPU. I use a mid tier Air Cooler.

Just curious of what others think, as I said before I had heard that the chip I was buying was ran really hot so I did a delid, this broke the chip because I was too agressive and cracked the PCB part. I got a new chip and as expected with a slight overclock it runs hot but only under max load. What some people told me is that it is ok for a CPU to run in the 90s or 95 for long peroids of time as they are designed to run at high temperatures. This makes sense as lots of electronic chips are designed to run pretty hot so what I am wondering is what others think? I do not plan to delid this one and if I were to drop my clock from 4500 to 4300 it would keep it 90 or below under max load. I am running on water but as we all know intel puts an insulating penut butter layer between the chip and IHS so while that still helps a lot it does not do the same as a delid. So is hot ok?

Hello peoples, My EVGA GTX 1070 Hybrid (which is a water cooled card) is hitting the max temperature it will allow (94 degrees celsius) but it is totally not warm. The air that is getting pushed out is even colder than my room temperature. Fans stuck at 100% with no load. I've had this issue for a while and ignored it, because a restart would fix the issue. It doesn't always happen, but when it does it is from a hibernate state. Most of the time as I said a reboot would fix it, if that wouldn't a reinstall of my drivers would fix it. But I would like to know if anyone has had any similar experience with this and maybe can help me. I will add a screenshot of the stats from open hardware monitor. Thank you to anyone reading and taking some time out of their day to maybe help me.

So I live in Norway and it's very cold outside right now (a cupple of c° minus). When I started my PC and went in to Corsair link the cpu was about 10 degrees. (HWmonitor showed the same). It went up after a while. I have a 240mm watercooler. Is this too cold and might there be something wrong with the temperature readings?

Hello! Can someone tell me the best cpu liquid cooling that you know and that has very low noise to a max of 110$ LOW NOISE IS IMPORTANT!!! It needs to be compatible with the Intel 1151 Socket Btw, it needs to be very good at cooling the cpu... Please, help me fast, I need to make a decision fast!!!! Thanks! I appreciate everything you say! Best Regards and tell me fast plz!

So, i currently have a Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Boost, the Duel-X designed cooler. I think this cooler is flawed, since, even though its used, ive applyed new Thermal paste and cleaned out the cooler and yet it still runs at 97~ degrees C on Default speeds with 97% Fan speed. If i turn it down so Core clock - 460Mhz and Memory Clock - 625 Mhz still on 98% fan speed and +10 Power limit, it runs 96 degrees C to 101 degrees C while playing CS:GO. I'm able to play Beam.NG Drive and Black ops 3 No problems, but every now and then in CS:GO, The computer will black screen and auto-shutdown. So the question is: Should I bother with getting a Kraken G10 and a Corsair Hydro H55 CPU cooler to go with it, or should I scrap the idea and get a lower end card that doesn't heat up this hot? either way ill be spending about 130$ for Liquid cooling, or about 200$ for a new card (AUD).

I just finished building my PC (except for the graphics card, because I am waiting to get the 1080 FTW edition, but aunt gave me an old card just so I will check if it works), and when I powered it on, I got a surprise... The airflow of the case fans got out of the case. It was also much colder to put my hand on the outside where the fan was than the inside. I thought case fans are suppose to point their airflow into the case, so it will cool some stuff, and give it's air to the radiator fans (I put it in a way that it takes air from the case and points it up to the radiator), or the GPU fans, maybe on the way also help cooling the RAM and motherboard. The bios at the start said the CPU was at 32 degrees C, but after a few minutes it already said 35, which means it's getting up pretty fast... The weird thing, is that the fans came like that with the case (the Cooler Master Mastercase Pro 5), I did not change ANYTHING. But maybe it is actually suppose to be like that, because Cooler Master knows better than me... Is it suppose to be like that? If not, please tell me and I will change that... But if it is, how do they work? How do they help cooling like that?

Hi LTT forums! I have recently got a S5 LTE-A G906L from shipped from Korea and it was working fine for about a week, today when I tried to charge it, a notification popped up, saying: Charging paused, battery temperature too low. I immediately opened the phone and saw that it was wet, due to the indicator turning red. It was shocking to find water in this phone, as the most recent water activity I involved this phone was near the basin, when I accidentally pushed the phone into a bucket of water. I shook it dry and carried on with what I do. Does anyone has a fix to this issue? I don't mind opening this phone as I do not have warranty for it, as it comes from Korea and there isn't international warranty for this phone. Help would be greatly appreciated! Just to add on, I have put the phone into a dry box after the incident, and it is still inside, as I am rather scared right now. Do I need to leave it inside for another 24 hours?

So I was going to do some X58 subzero today but needed to insulate my board. So I thought I'd just take pictures as I went along and shared my steps. I don't think I've seen this method posted here before but methods such as putty and LET have been demonstrated by other members such as @Lays and also Linus in his video a while back. Here's what you'll need: - Phillips screwdriver (Small head) - Hex screwdriver (size will depend on socket) - Vaseline (petroleum jelly) And some other things that might be helpful - Thermal Paste - Alcohol (99%) - Plastic prying tool Advantages: - Easy to do - Cheap to do - Suitable for all temperatures Disadvantages: - Messy - Harder to clean (dishwasher recommended) - Makes your mounting hardware a bit greasy So start with your board and a clear work area. I'd suggest leaving the CPU in the socket for as many steps as possible to reduce the risk of a) getting insulation in the socket and b) damaging the socket. What you'll need to do first is give it a blow off to get any large bits of dust off the board. Then you will need to remove the heatsinks around the CPU (so at least the VRM heatsink on newerboards, as any board you're doing subzero on should probably have those as standard...). When the heatsinks are off you will need to remove your CPU and use your hex screwdriver to remove the 4 hexscrews around the Intel socket. Clear any residual dust. I just use a little paintbrush to do this. You'll want the areas around the VRM, Northbridge (where applicable) and socket to be clean. If you have deteriorated thermal pad residue on MOSFETs etc I'd suggest cleaning it off with 99% alcohol before you proceed. When the board is clean you want to get some vaseline on your finger and apply it around the socket area. You don't need to worry about keeping it off the plastic part of the socket just avoid getting it in the socket. I'd recommend re-inserting the CPU as pictured. Once you've built it up around the socket (ideally just past the holes from the Intel socket cover you can turn the board over. You'll need to take the CPU out or it will just fall out the socket without the retention mount. Apply a similar amount of vaseline to the back of the board. I tend to cover the area under the socket up to the RAM solder points and the VRM area. Some boards will have capacitors and SMDs on the back of the socket. Focus on insulating them. When you've done that you can put the backplate back on the board. And flip it round, and put the retention bracket back on and screw it down. Now you just need to cover the electronics around the socket (VRM area, northbridge). I use a plastic prying tool to work in small gaps (i.e. between capacitors). Once you've done that you can go ahead and put the heatsinks back on Now you just need to prepare for mounting your pot or evaporator (depending on what kind of subzero cooling you're using). I suggest putting foam between the backplate and board, with some boards with capacitors on the back like my Rampage extreme it will avoid cracking them, and will just reduce the stress on the board as pots are heavy. Then on the other side I do the same. Although this is to focus the cooling element on the CPU so it isnt exposed to air around the base, reduces ice buildup and helps maintain CPU temperature a little better. To paste your CPU you want something that won't crack. You'll need to delid Ivy/Haswell/Skylake CPUs and use paste like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut to repaste them. You need to be fairly generous with paste under the lid for subzero application. For phase + dry ice Ceramique is cheap and effective. For LN2 I'd use Kryonaut. Do not use CLU or other liquid metal pastes. When ready pop your pot/evaporator on the CPU... And screw it down nicely. You'll need a good mount for best clocking. Your CPUs temp sensor will generally get to a point it stops working. It varies by chip. 4770Ks I've seen are -8. core 2 duos -22 etc. You should use a probe to check pot/evap temp. Happy clocking Spoiler for some broken images... forum says no.

Okay, just added another case fan to my computer, and HOLY BALLS EVERYTHING IS RUNNING SO COLD NOW! Like, seriously, my CPU temps are lower than my room temps. At what point should I be worried? I know if things drop below freezing, it can be an issue, but I'm not in danger of that happening anytime too soon. Anyway, CPU temps are currently 11C at idle, 20C after running Heaven Benchmark. Is this normal? Should I just count myself lucky?

Can having a CPU run at sub-zero temperatures damage your components just as much as much as over 90 degree temperatures can? As in can sub-zero cooling damage components even without overclocking?
