Fans

[lapis wagon]

Are the fans at the bottom reverse blades?

[amber moat]

I really don’t know how can I see that ?

[topaz falcon]

If they are reverse blade fans they give air inside the case but if they are not it will vacuum the air out

[amber moat]

Idk man but what I know is that the case is fucking cold

But it’s starting and turning off

Do you know how to fix that problem ?

[topaz falcon]

just put your hand on the top of bottom fans and see that if the air is coming in or going out...

or just see the fan box..

[topaz falcon]

What's the cpu temperature?

[amber moat]

Don’t know I just downloaded windows yesterday

Then it started

Went back off

Tried again

30+ seconds later it goes off again

[topaz falcon]

then just show it to a professional

I don't have any reverse blade fans so I put the bottom fans upside down

@amber moat

[amber moat]

I don’t feel air coming in to the case

[lapis wagon]

I'm pretty sure your fans are pushing air out of the case from all directions so you're not getting any cool air at all

[lapis wagon]

Did you put thermal paste on the CPU before applying the cooler?

And is your PC plugged directly into the wall or is it plugged into a power strip?

[amber moat]

The cpu is 100 degrees Celsius man

[amber moat]

I think I installed the cooler wrong

I just went into the bios and saw

[amber moat]

Yes I think so to because I don’t feel air coming in at all

And there’s a lot of cold air coming out

[idle locust]

Easy way to check the orientation of fans is put tissue paper in there and see the air flow.

[lapis wagon]

Did you apply the thermal paste onto the CPU though? Also is the AIO cooler pump plugged in?

[amber moat]

This isn’t going fully in

[lapis wagon]

Yeah you'll need to flip the ones at the bottom and on the right side the other way. Basically just flip it to the 'ugly side' sadly. Unless you got reverse fan blades but it looks like yours are not reverse

[amber moat]

Yes thanks

But how can I fix the cpu

Cuz 100 degrees Ceclius is crazy

[lapis wagon]

Is there a gap between the AIO and CPU?

[amber moat]

What is Aio?

[lapis wagon]

It's that pump that attached to the cpu

[lapis wagon]

Ok it looks like it's making contact but there's not enough thermal paste so you're getting hot spots and it's overheating

@amber moat It should've looked like this if you took it off

If you're having trouble getting full coverage of paste on the cpu, try manually spreading it like this. https://youtu.be/1J9TLFWuX-c?si=XwoFQxTIAPYBjzWm

But just don't drop any over onto the other components it should only be on top of the CPU the flat part

[amber moat]

Is this oké ?

[lapis wagon]

I would spread it a little more to the edges

[amber moat]

The cpu itself?

[lapis wagon]

Then it should be fine

[amber moat]

Or the aio

[lapis wagon]

Yeah the paste on the cpu

[amber moat]

Oké

[lapis wagon]

Never apply it to the AIO

[amber moat]

Oké but it’s there’s paste on it ?

Or is that not a problem

[lapis wagon]

It should be fine, you can also just wipe it off but not necessary since it's new paste

Also make sure your pc is plugged directly into the wall and not a power strip, if it's a power strip it won't get full power for the PSU and it will shut off

[amber moat]

Is this oké

[amber moat]

Yes

Im going to start it up now

[lapis wagon]

That should be okay. Just make sure when applying the AIO it's fully onto the cpu

And also make sure you flip those fans

[amber moat]

Yes but the cooler isn’t going full inside

1 Side goed in the other one is on the black sides

[lapis wagon]

Like one side is hitting the black brackets?

[amber moat]

Yes

Exactly

[lapis wagon]

Are you sure those cpu brackets are not installed backwards?

Maybe flip the brackets around?

[amber moat]

No otherwise I can’t screw

Then I can’t screw that thing

And this is how they said in the Manual and YouTube guides

That’s how the brackets should be

[lapis wagon]

I see

What's the AIO called?

Like the model

[amber moat]

Master liquid 360l core white

Cooler master

I think this should be put up and not on the downside

You see that iron part where the 2 screws are in

I think they need to be put above it and not under it

I think the pasta is good on it now

[lapis wagon]

Maybe loosen the brackets, put the AIO down, tighten the brackets?

[amber moat]

Im going to put the brackets on the upside

Maybe then it doesn’t come to the black brackets
