Title, temps were fine just a few days ago and I havent noticed anything weird, thinking about possibly undervolting but I have no experience in that stuff

#

ok? please ellaborate your story 🙂 what is happening? when how?
Cpu? gpu ? 🙂 did you check whats running on your pc? Any dustbunnies in the case? anything different / changed?

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 7:23 PM

#

So, I was just testing out BF2042 since it's on game pass now, suddenly pc shuts off, and bios interrupts with "CPU OVER TEMPERATURE ERROR!!"

#

But I've been playing Warzone 2 on almost max settings just fine without my pc shutting off like that

#

To be fair, my CPU fan was a bit dusty but I cleaned it the best I could

#

also specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X
GPU: RTX 2060 Super

#

well do you got a straw? 🙂

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 7:24 PM

#

a straw?

#

to blow the dust out like that?

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

Exactly

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

I tried to blow off the dust with a can of pressured air (that's like barely blowing anything at this point)

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

its very simple way to make sure the dust gets out of it.

#

True

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

But yeah I'll test that

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

thats the alternative a can of pressured air 😄

#

should work the best though

#

after the can of pressured air, is it still happening?

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 7:26 PM

#

I tested OCCT, and that hit 96 degrees

#

but i interrupted the test at that point

#

gotta hit the store rn anyway, but ill update soon

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 7:28 PM

#

well at this stage im just wondering what kind of cooler you got

#

and also what case? 🤔 as it needs some way of getting air in and out

#

as in , is the cooling sufficient, for heavy loads, stock cooler might not be sufficient
is it overclocked?

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 7:29 PM

#

Not overclocked

#

Case is Fractal Design R(something)

#

Also the stock amd cooler

#

So I think AMD Wraith?

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 7:30 PM

#

does it have case cooling ?

#

as in extra fans going in and out?

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 7:35 PM

#

Yeah

#

Two fans on the top and three fans in the front

#

And one fan on the side (thats not plugged in rn)

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 7:39 PM

#

why not? thats usually the fan closest to the cpu right? 😮

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

My side panel wasnt actually plugged in cause i was taking one ssd in and out constantly

slow spoke Nov 23, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

Hey so, I’m having high temp issues too

#

Apparently 65c when idling is too hot?

#

And I’m not sure what the cause could be

#

There’s no visible clumps of dust or anything

#

Everything looks to be in the right place

#

But my temps are getting higher than desired

#

And in the case of one game I was playing, the temps got to like 89-96

#

These are my specs

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 9:15 PM

#

slow spoke And in the case of one game I was playing, the temps got to like 89-96

thats crazy high

slow spoke Nov 23, 2022, 9:15 PM

#

Granted the game is known for being in optimized but still

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 9:16 PM

#

ok, create your own topic.

slow spoke Nov 23, 2022, 9:16 PM

#

Very concerning

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 9:16 PM

#

since this is somebody else his topic?

slow spoke Nov 23, 2022, 9:16 PM

#

Oh, sorry

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

I actually checked through all my cables and noticed that two fans werent even getting power

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

Well time to hook those fans up again ! 😄

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

I did, I think I might just need to repaste the cpu though

#

And well, this pc is very dusty otherwise too

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 10:04 PM

#

pine vault And well, this pc is very dusty otherwise too

clean out dust!

#

Dust does not guide heat, and is your #1 enemy on heat.

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 10:06 PM

#

Yeah I found a dead fly in here too

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 10:46 PM

#

hmm, cpu still jumps up to 90 celsius when running the stress test for almost two minutes

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

Ok 👍🏻 but is all clean?

#

If it keeps 90 degree and doesn’t go higher perfect

#

And if it doesn’t crash

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 10:55 PM

#

I'm just gonna play some games and see how it handles those

hasty rain Nov 23, 2022, 10:55 PM

#

Well stress test are meant to be 20-30 minutes

#

To be sure it’s working fine

#

Since water cooling is first soaking up the water with heat and dissipation happens with the fans

pine vault Nov 23, 2022, 11:51 PM

#

Yeah so temps are holding on 98.25 celsius now

#

Running a stress test for 15 min

hasty rain Nov 24, 2022, 10:55 AM

#

well if it keeps on 98,25 and doessnt get any higher thats your peek temp.

#

Stress test like Furmark / prime95 are unrealistically amounts of stress

#

should be fine if you do not get any blackscreens after that. might be a bit high.

hasty rain Nov 24, 2022, 11:00 AM

#

pine vault Running a stress test for 15 min

which program you used for stress testing your CPU?

pine vault Nov 24, 2022, 11:27 AM

OCCT
