Asus Mini PC overheated...

[Barry~~]

Hello guys, I think I have asked this question before, but no one has an answer for me... Maybe I didn't say clear last time.

Ok I'll start explaining my specs here first of all.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= specification =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

NAME: UN64V

CPU: i7-4600U @ 2.9Ghz ~ 3.27Ghz (99.79 X 27~33) 2C4T

GPU: intel Graphics HD4400 @ 1Ghz

RAM: ddr3l 4GB x 2 @ 1600Mhz

SSD: 256GB @ R: 300MB/s W: 200MB/s

SYS: WIndows 10 64 bits

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Problem =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Ok th Problem starts from here.

I have searched a lot on the internet, and I see other bloggers says the temps should be around 70 degrees when full load...

But the problem is, if it's 0% load, it's already 50~60 degrees, if like 30% usage, 60~70 degrees if on 100% load, it goes up to 92 degrees maximum. 

I have used this Mini PC for some light video editing (like music), play some games (such as Minecraft, Warframe, Fortnite...) and people say that I shouldn't but I still want to.

Lots of people say that is normal, but I see a blog said that when he is playing LOL(Legends of League), it's above 60 degrees for him, How come he can get is so low?

I have opned it up, I took the Motherboard out and I tide the CPU cooler... But I have considering should I change the thermal conpound or not... Becuase after I tide it, it goes 5 degrees down, it's really much tho... But in game the fps actually become a little bit higher, and the temp is still the same... but is it's in 0%, it's 46 degrees now... Oh ya, I also use this as an internet server(IIS) for my web application development, and also Visual studio, Andriod Stuido, etc... so what should I do?

Change the thermal paste is what I would do. Undervolting will come next if that doesnt do well enough.

hmmm... Which thermal paste should I buy then... MX4? that's really expensive tho... the volts is really low... 0.9 v already... sometimes 1v also

Just asking... Is there dust?

I myself use Thermal Grizzly's Kryonaut, but since you arent overclocking and want to save some money, the Aeronaut should be enough.

 

My i5-4460 goes to 3.4GHz with on;y .88V, so you should still try it out. With the locked BIOS on these prebuilts, Intel XTU is the only software that can do it reliably.

ya I'll try that later, but the volts what I said si when 50%~100% load... I remember when it's 0%, it can goes to 0.6 volts which i saw... (lowest) then what is XTU doing?

=-=-=-= EDITED =-=-=-

what? it costs double then MX4...

shell I just buy MX4?

XTU applies voltage offset. If you set it to -0.3V, so to say, the CPU will run at 0.3V idle, 0.6-0.7V under full load. Stability will be an issue, so you should go slowly.

Sorry, while I'm totally on board I just way to say this is painful for OP, kryonaut is like 8x more expensive than mx4

Mx4 is actually pretty cheap, kryonaut is basically eight times the price per gram.

 

Kryonaut ($12 per 1 gram)

 

mx4 ($1.55 per 1 gram)

Ok I'll try that... does there has other things to do? I set the clock to 8 X 99.79, but it goes up to 3.3Ghz again and agani while I am using it... I don't want to turn of turbo mode, Cause I still wants some performance... hmmmmmmmmm

This is the paste I recommend, similar performance to kryonaut and costs only slightly more than mx-4

OK, so this is better then MX4? because I want the good one so if I want to build a gaming PC afterwards, I can use it also... if it's same, shall I just buy MX4?

I think I can't use Amazon at all because I am not an American I am now in India and I am from Taiwan actually...

If you can get nh-t1 do so, it's what I use in my own rig (cuatom loop 6950x + 980 ti) my families various pcs (4690k + 770 and 860 + 770) and I honestly like it better than 99% of thermal paste.

fine I'll try it a little bit later. How about something else but not about hardware, like some software adjustment to let the temp be down, Becuase I really needs it to be cold enough so that I won't be worry about that. I'm wondering what if Linus have a PC like this

Check your fan speeds. Try turning them up a bit. Are you sure your PC isn't on some ''quiet mode''?

na, it's on full which is 4000 rpm... I can feel the wind has really hot air come out.
