cpu overheating

[lilac sphinx]

Ok 👍🏻

And how high are idle temps?

If that’s already 60-70 it might be bad fan curves? Or bad pump?

[waxen sorrel]

when im on desktop is on 40 50

[lilac sphinx]

Where did you place the pump?

[waxen sorrel]

but when im gaming its on 90 100

[lilac sphinx]

But does it crash the game?

[waxen sorrel]

noo

when i exit the game

its gonna restart

sometimes not always

[lilac sphinx]

Well how is your fancurve for the pump?

[waxen sorrel]

u mean this?

[lilac sphinx]

No I mean the curve for the fan

[waxen sorrel]

how do i check

[lilac sphinx]

As in how hotter the cpu goes how higher the fans should spin

[waxen sorrel]

how do i check?

[lilac sphinx]

Go into bios

[waxen sorrel]

then what

[lilac sphinx]

Basically something like this

[waxen sorrel]

i will send a photo when im in bios

[lilac sphinx]

They really should spin loud and hard when it’s used

So above 70 they should really spin loud and hard 80-100 % usage of fan

Everything above 75 should be 100% fan usage

[waxen sorrel]

this?

@lilac sphinx where did u goo

[lilac sphinx]

I went sporting

[waxen sorrel]

ohh okeyy

[lilac sphinx]

Well it should be a cruve 🤔

like you don't want it always to make noise

[waxen sorrel]

i have it on full speed

[lilac sphinx]

when its idle it can be lower spinning, and when its higher temperature it goes higher

well if it always on full speed, and not annoying you , sure! 🙂

[waxen sorrel]

and if i undervolt my cpu will i lose fps?

[lilac sphinx]

Also , does it make any difference?

[waxen sorrel]

on what

[lilac sphinx]

on your FANS

and temperature

as these are what you are controlling

[waxen sorrel]

if i have full speed its 50 if i do regural its gonna go 55 temp

[lilac sphinx]

so it does work?

[waxen sorrel]

when im in game it goes 100

[lilac sphinx]

I can't tell from here and have to ask you.

well does the fan curvature works? and lower the temps or no difference?

if not, are you sure, you have set the right fan curve?

as you got multiple headers on your motherboard.

[waxen sorrel]

im not really that good understanding this cpu problem im sorry xd

how do i set the right fan curve

[lilac sphinx]

Ok, well you first have to see , which Header did you put the Fan on

[waxen sorrel]

whats a header

[lilac sphinx]

a pin on your motherboard

| | | <--- Pins

[waxen sorrel]

where are they

[lilac sphinx]

basically like these? 🤔

[waxen sorrel]

below?

[lilac sphinx]

or these? 🤔

and they have NAMES like CPU_OPT or CPU_FAN

so if you set the bios fan curve it could be for CPU_FAN or for CPU_OPT.

[waxen sorrel]

yess i see them

u want me to send u a photo?

[lilac sphinx]

so if you go into your BIOS they have the same names.

and when you set the curve in your bios , they also ask for which Fans you want to set the curve.

that has to correspond with your motherboard.

if you did all of them , to 100% would also be fine 🤷‍♂️

it just makes more noise, but cools well.

[waxen sorrel]

i dont have it on cpu fan the pin

on my motherboard

[lilac sphinx]

🤔

why not?

They dont have a pin for it?

[waxen sorrel]

wait

[lilac sphinx]

or is the pump controlling the fans?

[lilac sphinx]

so thats CPU_FAN.

[waxen sorrel]

so mines are on cpu opt?

[lilac sphinx]

nah CPU_FAN

not CPU_OPT

[waxen sorrel]

oh okeyy

[lilac sphinx]

thats what the name says

[waxen sorrel]

soo i need to set cpu fan to 100?

[lilac sphinx]

yep

[waxen sorrel]

in bios?

[lilac sphinx]

Yes 🙂

[waxen sorrel]

can u show me where?

[lilac sphinx]

near this area

every bios is different

There are like 6-7 diff sort of bios and I dont know yours

[waxen sorrel]

okeyy i try to find it

[lilac sphinx]

so does your pump have a control aswell?

from your pump does it have a pin header going somewhere?

[waxen sorrel]

i have options

aio pump

cpu fan

cha1 cha2 fan

[lilac sphinx]

ah good! 🙂 AIO pump you can try to put on 100% 🙂

and see if it makes any difference

[waxen sorrel]

i cant control it wait i send u a photo

[lilac sphinx]

k 🙂

[waxen sorrel]

thats good?

whats a pwm and dc?

[lilac sphinx]

All seems fine 🙂

now go try in windows and see the temps

Also might not be the best AIO 🤔

[waxen sorrel]

what if i undervolt it

will my performance drop?

[lilac sphinx]

is your Top part of the PC open? or does it have a filter on top?

[waxen sorrel]

on the top where the fans are?

[lilac sphinx]

yep

[waxen sorrel]

it has a filter for the dust

i tried without it but same temp

[lilac sphinx]

ah okay 🤔

[waxen sorrel]

any other solution?

[lilac sphinx]

yeah get a bigger radiator

[waxen sorrel]

new cooler?

[lilac sphinx]

Well I own a I9 -9900K and its 30 degree on a custom loop

[waxen sorrel]

custom loop?

[lilac sphinx]

yeah, AIO is all in one. meaning Radiator + pump + everything in one.

you could try a bios update

[waxen sorrel]

isnt that dangerous?

[lilac sphinx]

if you got the exact bios for your motherboard it will be fine

can help

[waxen sorrel]

exact bios?

[lilac sphinx]

well what motherboard you got?

[waxen sorrel]

asus

[lilac sphinx]

Primze Z390 Series

but which one?

[waxen sorrel]

yess

how do i check?

[lilac sphinx]

hwinfo

https://www.hwinfo.com/

[lilac sphinx]

yes 64 , free download

[waxen sorrel]

fosshub?

[lilac sphinx]

for windows, you could use a installer, or use it portable (which means for a usb stick)

🤷‍♂️ any source (any cdn)

[waxen sorrel]

this?

[lilac sphinx]

click start 🙂

[lilac sphinx]

and you should have another screen behind it

with motherboard

[lilac sphinx]

Asus Prime Z390-A

that helps 🙂

[waxen sorrel]

what now

[lilac sphinx]

now we look up the bios

[waxen sorrel]

i go into the bios?

[lilac sphinx]

https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-z390-a/helpdesk_download/?model2Name=PRIME-Z390-A

click on bios 🙂

[waxen sorrel]

can i update drivers?

[lilac sphinx]

yeah , always a good idea 🙂

[waxen sorrel]

wait do i update bios first or the drivers

[lilac sphinx]

doessnt matter

go for drivers first 🙂

just easier

why does it include winrar though 🥲

[waxen sorrel]

first one?

[lilac sphinx]

yeah chipset and LAN 🙂

why not 😄

[waxen sorrel]

what does that mean?

[lilac sphinx]

dont recognize that downloader?

if its weird try redownloading? 🤔

[waxen sorrel]

there are some data after the end of the payloda data?

[lilac sphinx]

yeah ... how did you download this?

[waxen sorrel]

and then i 7zip

[lilac sphinx]

what did you download?

[waxen sorrel]

oh damn i clicked on bio

biso

bioss*

not drivers xd

[lilac sphinx]

oh no problem 🙂

[waxen sorrel]

lan and chipset right?

[lilac sphinx]

yep

If audio is fine, I would leave audio alone

[waxen sorrel]

my friend told me armorycrate is for asus motherboard

[lilac sphinx]

yeah and you have an ASUS motherboard? 🤔

[waxen sorrel]

same thing happens

yes

[lilac sphinx]

well if you can open it, just ignore it

[waxen sorrel]

asussetup

[lilac sphinx]

Yes

[waxen sorrel]

and now it closed

[lilac sphinx]

did you extract it first?

since that makes more sense

[waxen sorrel]

i did but it was that warning message

[waxen sorrel]

thiss

[lilac sphinx]

yeah but cant you just use windows to unzip it ? 🤔

its from the official website

so no harm be done with this

[waxen sorrel]

it goes into the zip file

open this?

[lilac sphinx]

Extract zip file to a location

use just windows unzipper

[waxen sorrel]

it opens micrsoft pmp

[waxen sorrel]

like this

[lilac sphinx]

pmp

?

[waxen sorrel]

pnp*

[lilac sphinx]

why?

[waxen sorrel]

idk that happens when i try to run it

thats armoury crate

[lilac sphinx]

Maybe armoury crate is better 🤷‍♂️

[waxen sorrel]

i have the drivers to latest

[lilac sphinx]

yeah seem to be already fine

so no need to continue updating

[waxen sorrel]

just bios now?

[lilac sphinx]

yup

[waxen sorrel]

is this okey?

?

[lilac sphinx]

yeah you can click on Full speed 😄

[waxen sorrel]

thats loudddd

xdd

[lilac sphinx]

but...

[waxen sorrel]

its like a plane

that wasnt before

[lilac sphinx]

look at your temps 😄

[lilac sphinx]

Thats what AIO should do , when its full usage 😄 Gaming should not be 100 Degree anymore

[waxen sorrel]

now its on 56 temp xd

so now its gonna be 100?

[lilac sphinx]

??

bit random words you are saying

[waxen sorrel]

its not gonna be*

[lilac sphinx]

I cannot read your mind.

[waxen sorrel]

xd sory

[lilac sphinx]

it is not going to be 100 degree if its on full speed.

it should always be on full speed when you are gaming :G

[waxen sorrel]

can i set it

to be standard

while on idle

and full speed while gaming

[lilac sphinx]

Yeah , but thats why you have a fan curve.

Can you set a fan curve in this program?

[waxen sorrel]

wait lemme try to play 1 round

no i dont think i can

[lilac sphinx]

ok, well check 🙂

[waxen sorrel]

nothing changed

[lilac sphinx]

Well if nothing changed, get a new cooler

this one is not good enough for your CPU 🤷‍♂️

is it a new AIO?

return it 🤷‍♂️

" It is effective for processors having a max of 95 W TDP." so if its not crashing its fine

it might run hot

[waxen sorrel]

my friend said he can undervolt it for 40 bucks

u think its a good idea?

[lilac sphinx]

No

For 40 bucks I can buy a scyth myugen 5

[waxen sorrel]

but if he undervolt it then the temp will fall down right?

[lilac sphinx]

Yes but your potential is lower and it’s not stable guaranteed

Nobody can guarantee you that and once it crashes all your settings are gone

So a poor 40 buck investment

[waxen sorrel]

settings?

[lilac sphinx]

Rather tell him you can buy my aio for 80 bucks and you buy something better

[waxen sorrel]

if it will not work i get my 40 bucks back xd

[waxen sorrel]

xd whats a best water cooler for my i9 9900kf?

[lilac sphinx]

I would rather buy a better AIO for that money

This is a fan favorite

[waxen sorrel]

u think 360 will fit in my case?

[lilac sphinx]

https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-aio-coolers

One of these on the list always good:)

[waxen sorrel]

this one is good right?

[lilac sphinx]

Best to get 360 mm radiator

More heat dissipation

And space wise get a ruler and measure it

[waxen sorrel]

but it will not fit inside
