Do you want your budget to stretch to include peripherals? also do you have a preference of amd or intel?

Hi, so a friend of mine in a discord server recently had his power supply crap out. after a week of disuse he was able to replace the power supply but his asus motherboard kept restarting due to surge protection. i was wondering if there was anything i could tell him to try to fix it or any sort of reasoning as to why its happening any help is appreciated

my lower temps was also probably because of it pulling fresh air before and not so much now with the different mounting location

thanks for the help! and yeah ive heard these pumps go bad

Yeah with just the cpu running at full load it was steady at 68 degrees, with the side panels on and gpu at full load as well im steady at 70.6 degrees at 4.2 ghz. mustve been a mix of too little thermal paste, bad mount, and sensors not reading right.

you said that it was really good temps for my cpu right? i went and checked the mount and i could still keep screwing, it eventually bottomed out. im running a furmark cpu burner and it jumped from 45 idle (avg, it was bouncing around) and it went up to 69.3, then slowly dropped to 68 and has held steady at 68. i wonder if the little amount of thermal paste at the beginning made the temp sensors act wierd

yep its as tight as i can go, which is how the instructions say to do it

i could hear water moving as the pump started, when i pulled the pump off i noticed there was very little paste, so i reapplied it but it still goes up to 70 under load, and jumps from 35-60 at idle

thats possible, im just not sure how to fix that

i did switch to a coolermaster hyper 212 black edition that would hold the cpu at about the same temps as the aio, i just prefer the cleaner look that the aio brings. i can feel the pump working when i turn it on so i doubt the pump is dead

i do have all but one fan mounting spot occupied by a fan, in a bottom to top airflow config, so im moving a lot of air. the reason i had it on the side was so that the cpu was pulling fresh air, but the temps were jumping around with no side panels on so it shouldve been getting just as fresh of air

this was under a furmark cpu burner, and in a cinebench run. in gaming i sit at like 56 degrees. when moving the aio around i never removed the block and ive only had this cooler for like 3-4 months at the most. i wouldve expected it to last longer honestly

Hi, so when i first bought the aio, i had installed it with the tubes at the top (on the vertical mounting position in a Lian Li o11 dynamic). recently i watched a video from GN saying that was a bad idea due to bubbles, so today i flipped it tube side down (on the rad). after doing to i noticed that my cpu temp kept jumping from 49-70 degrees at idle, and realized the tubes were lower than the block. i then put the rad on the top of my case but still saw the same issue. everything is plugged in and should be working, so im really confused by the wierd temps. before when the tubes were at

My current setup -Ryzen 7 2700x -Msi GTX 1660ti ventus oc edition -27" 4k 60hz monitor -23" 1080p 60hz monitor Im getting a new 24" 1080p 144hz monitor and im wondering if i need to upgrade my card so that i can hit those higher framerates. The games i play are Rainbow six siege (150-200 avg fps), battlefield 4 (150fps avg), Borderlands 3 (60fps avg), Borderlands 2 (unknown fps), Minecraft (150fps) The new monitor has AMD FreeSync, but not G-Sync. Im wondering if i should pick up a slightly higher end amd card to a) gain more graphical horsepower and
