PC Overheating Issues with Adobe Premiere

[IronMonger5150]

Hi Guys  

 

So I'm new to the forum & interested in starting as a YouTube content creator. I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on my PC but every time I try to export a video (@ 720p in H.264)  My computer overheats & shuts down. I'm running an AMD FX 8320 with the stock cooler & Thermal Paste, Cause I was kinda less techy when I built this rig, so I'm wondering what you guys would suggest as a cheap fix to get it running cool. I am planning to build a new PC at the end of this year-ish, so Id rather not spend a lot of money or get a cooler that I can use on other sockets (like the LGA 2011 motherboard I'm looking at right now) & a good Thermal Compound.

 

I want to get a Corsair H100i but my current case has absolutely Zero Radiator support, again, I was stupid building this PC. I might be able to ghetto-rig it to the top of the case until I can get a new one, as I plan to upgrade slowly over time anyway. And right now Im looking at some Antec Formula 7 Nano Diamond Thermal Compound. What do you guys think?

 

Thanks!

You should get a H80, it should fit to almost every case, also you should look at different air coolers.

something like a cooler maste 212 evo or if it won't fit the cooler master tx3 evo should be fine. also think about your airflow in your case the.

my CM 212 Evo keeps my 965BE pretty cool, i have used premiere as well (im beyond novice with it and i was exporting a 2 minute clip i recorded with fraps) its fairly cheap and comes with CM thermal paste

As M-usru said, the H80 will fit in almost any case.

CM hyper 212 evo,

412 slim

Noctua NH-D14

H80i

Kraken x40

...

 

They'll take care of the heat

You could download either http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/Real_Temp/ or http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html and look at your cpu core temps - how high will they get during the encoding?

If your cpu is over heating, a very cheap solution would be to limit your cpu usage in Windows.

 

To do this go to: Control panel -> System and security -> Power options -> change plan settings -> advanced -> processor power management -> maxium processor state.

Set this lower, like 70%. It will make your cpu slower, but at least you should get the job done.

Hows case cooling overall? Even stock cooler shouldn't overheat pc. It should start throttle before that. Except when it doesn't get enough fresh air to use.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I ended up getting a Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo from NCIX, but for the people who asked, my cpu was running about 30c idle & hit about 85c before the system turned itself off. It now sits between 15 & 19c idle & Iv only seen it hit a max of 52c on load. Case cooling is awful, especially now that my side panel fan doesn't fit anymore due to the tall cooler I'll be getting a new case before I get any new parts for this rig for sure. Again, thanks to all of you. This was a very helpful first experience with the LTT fourm
