Temps

[Voidseeker]

I built a PC for someone I know and it has a R7 5800X and didn't realize this because they ordered all the parts (came from Newegg) but the CPU didn't have a cooler with it so I took a cooler from another build I did recently (I had used a different cooler in that build) the CPU is cooled by cooler that came with an R5 4500 and I'm concerned about these temps. I'm just downloading a game (BeamNG.drive to be specific)

The stock cooler for an R5 4500 is not sufficient for a 5800X.

Get a Peerless Assassin SE 120

 

Downloading a game through steam takes quite a lot of CPU power! especially with fast download speeds as the CPU has to keep up with installing the game as well seeing high temps while doing so is not unusual.

These temps are uncomfortably hot so a better cooler is recommended

That's what I thought. What about a Spirit 120?

The Spirit 120 will also be fine

Alright thanks. AIDIA64 is showing 90c° in game... The max I'm comfortable with is 80c°

A bigger cooler will definitely help with that

The stock cooler for the 4500 is just not good enough for the 5800x.

 

The max operating temperature for the 5800x IS 90c so the temperaturs your are seeing are definitely not good.

This case has a 120mm blue intake fan. Would adding a second 120 intake help? It's pulling in more air but the cooler only pushes so much.

Yes it should help a little as well. The more fresh air the better

 

Does the case have an exhaust fan at the rear?

Yes it has a 120. Also the temps are at 70 on idle (HWinfo)

Great!  Get the Spirit 120 and an extra front fan.

This should be good for the 5800x

This case is weird because I'm not sure the holes line up to add a 120 fan

Can I get a picture further away from the case?

 

You can remove the rear 120mm fan and check if it fits the front, if it does then you know

Its a bit more work but you'll get a definit answer.

Issue. Whoever designed this case made the front fan infront of the drive bays and the scerws are so dang tight I couldn't get them off and the fan and front fan is in-between the front of the case and a back plate for it to mount

Thats a strange case. That looks like the top of the case and not the front.

Do you have a picture of the entire case?

 

Adding a Spirit 120 will be sufficient if you at least have one intake fan for the 5800x, just make sure there is room in the case for the Spirit 120.

That picture was the top of the case I was just talking about what was happening with the front fan. The picture is a different PC I built for someone else but it's the same case I'm using for the other build

The picture was very misleading cause I didn't know what the case looked like.  That could have been the front grills for all I knew  ( There are some weird cases out there )

 

You won't benefit by adding another front fan to this case as there is basically only airflow for one front fan.

Just buy the Spirit 120 and you should be fine

Alright I ordered the cooler. Thanks and there are definitely some unique cases like the Deepcool Quadstellar

Awesome!  That should do the trick

 

Plenty of funky cases out there indeed!  And many old cases that people still use or weird cases from local companies in certain countries.

I use the Corsair Carbide 760T even with my modern hardware, it does the job even though its over 10 years old

Old cases have a lot of space and support typically to hold the modern parts. I use an NZXT H510 black and white for my  sub $1000 mid range gaming rig. Good for about 60-100fps in most games

Absolutely.  Space was the thing I liked the most with the Corsair Carbide 760T. I run a RTX 4080 so its a large GPU and I got plenty of space.

I do want to build in the NV7 or NV9 but we will see!

 

The NZXT H510 is a very pretty case   I do like it a lot.

In about 2-3 yrs I plan to do a full makeover on my PC with a brand new case and everything. I also like my case and I love the NV7 especially with it's rap around tempered glass. I'd love to do a build with an O11D but it's expensive so when I do get a new case I'm thinking MSI 110R or a MPG velox. The main reason I want to change is because I want a case with better cooling support
