My pc loud and stuttering

[cinder arch]

hey i reapplied thermal paste and when i power it on it started acting weird like loud noises and overall stuttering and in motherboard when starting pc red light appears but they do not flicker

[dense barn]

Sounds to me like your thermalpaste application was just bad. Remove the CPU cooler, clean up the old paste, reapply some fresh paste and reinstall the cooler. Also make sure your cooler didn't get unplugged by accident.

[cinder arch]

alr done

so stuttering gone

but still loud

@dense barn

[dense barn]

Yeah I'm guessing the paste application was just bad at first

Are you sure the CPU fan is connected to the right header?

If it's not, it would run at max rpm which would be loud.

[cinder arch]

cpu something something

[dense barn]

CPU is overheating

Turn off your system

Either the paste application is still bad or you're mounting the cooler incorrectly.

[cinder arch]

prob mounting

[dense barn]

Yeah, you're going to want to try again

[cinder arch]

i tried so long

some of the black thingies are broken

so mounting is only possible with 2 black thigies instead of 4

[dense barn]

Okay that's not enough

Can you give me your full system specs?

You're going to have to buy a replacement cooler with mounting hardware

[dense barn]

Stock intel cooler?

[cinder arch]

can i just get the mounting separately

[cinder arch]

Cool master

[dense barn]

Depends on the cooler

[dense barn]

Exact model?

[cinder arch]

https://youtube.com/shorts/xFZR-kB5Jm0?si=OKd7Hy24zI6MOTJO

it like this one

see the black ones

on that cooler

[dense barn]

Yeah so it's a stock cooler

[cinder arch]

mhm

[dense barn]

No, you won't be able to do that

[dense barn]

Yeah no, if the tabs are broken you will have to replace the entire cooler unfortunately

[cinder arch]

when i bought it from someone the 2 black thingies were loose

and it worked fine

until i had to reapply thermal paste

[dense barn]

Yeah no, it wasn't fine even then

[cinder arch]

it was tho i did check it in-games

[dense barn]

That's not what I mean

the mounting hardware has tight tolerances

[cinder arch]

so i have to get a ENTIRELY NEW COOLER

[dense barn]

Yes

[cinder arch]

fuckk

[dense barn]

You won't be able to replace the tabs themselves

Since they're part of the mounting hardware of that cooler

Buy something like DeepCool AG400

It's pretty much the best bang 4 the buck cooler

comes with metal mounting hardware so not as easy to mess up either

[cinder arch]

deepcool ag400

this one?

[dense barn]

Not that one

[cinder arch]

link please?

[dense barn]

should look like this

[cinder arch]

alright

this one?

[dense barn]

Are there styles to select?

https://www.amazon.com/DeepCool-Single-Tower-Cooler-Direct-Touch-Support/dp/B0BD8C4LVP/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=deepcool%2Bag400&qid=1695935591&sr=8-1&th=1

[cinder arch]

yeah

[dense barn]

Yeah you should pick the basic AG400

[cinder arch]

this one

?

[dense barn]

That's the one yup

[cinder arch]

sigh alright then

i will get paid end of this month so no mo gamin until then

[cinder arch]

so with this new one the noise will be gone right?

[dense barn]

Yeah

Right now the reason why it's making so much noise is because the fan is trying it's best to cool the CPU

But since the cooler isn't making proper contact, it's not able to cool the CPU and it keeps overheating

[cinder arch]

fuckk

duct tape?

[dense barn]

That won't help

remember: tight tolerances

[cinder arch]

feck

[dense barn]

You want the mounting to be both solid and even, not something you can do with tape

[cinder arch]

so do i not turn on my pc

should i remove the cooler and throw it out

[dense barn]

Yeah, you shouldn't use the system for now

You might as well remove the cooler and throw it away

Since right now it's no longer serving it's purpose

[cinder arch]

keeping thermal paste from becoming dry or solid?

[tranquil basin]

Just remove it all now tbh

[cinder arch]

the fucked up thing is i waited so long to get thermal paste so i could reapply it and not this happends

[dense barn]

Clean off the thermal paste

Well the coolers with plastic hardware fail like that eventually

[cinder arch]

fail?

[tranquil basin]

Break

[dense barn]

Plastic becomes brittle over time

[cinder arch]

so the deepcoal will fucking fail eventually!?!?!

[tranquil basin]

Huh

[cinder arch]

man wtf

[dense barn]

It has metal hardware

[cinder arch]

oh

okay

[dense barn]

Also what are you on about? Every piece of hardware fails eventually.

Plastic just faster than others.

[cinder arch]

yeah but really slow right?

[tranquil basin]

Just use it till it gets to that point it really should last you a long time

[dense barn]

Metal hardware lasts a long time.

[cinder arch]

sweet

i was thinking of upgrading my pc until it becomes a entirely new pc

like one by one

[tranquil basin]

Well that’s a whole nother thread tbh

[cinder arch]

maybe every 1 year i could upgrade something like motherboard or something

[cinder arch]

oh yah

[cinder arch]

@dense barn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOGUNqrk3w4&ab_channel=SunilKumar

it is possible to repair them tho.....

oh shit

sorry i pinged u for tech support

didin`t see your bio

[dense barn]

You basically just pinged me to tell me that someone figured out a way to repair the pins, that's cool but it's not exactly a solution unless you have replacement pins.

[cinder arch]

can`t i just order them?

[dense barn]

I don't think so

You would most likely have to harvest them from another cooler

and I don't want to play chance with compatibility since like I've said before

the tolerances are very tight

If the mounting is off by even a little bit, it can drastically make your thermals worse

the EXACT same

[dense barn]

You can try it if you want

[cinder arch]

what makes u think it isn`t possible

[dense barn]

I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm saying it's not an ideal way to approach this

if you break even one of those pins you're f'd

You need all 4 to be there and they have to be installed correctly

[cinder arch]

correctly?

[dense barn]

And like I said earlier, it's plastic hardware so eventually it will fail the same way as the cooler already has

[cinder arch]

the only thing that failed was the mount pins tbh

when i got it

there were only 2 pins working

[dense barn]

I think I've made my point quite clear on this

[cinder arch]

alright

[dense barn]

If you want to approach it that way, go ahead.

But don't say I haven't warned you.

[tranquil basin]

$10 for that? you can get another downdraft cooler with better mounting for that

[dense barn]

It's not about whether it makes sense or not, they just wanted to argue with me since I said they would have to replace the cooler.

If they want to waste 10 bucks on plastic tabs, let them.

[tranquil basin]

of course just a little extra input

[dense barn]

It's basically learning stuff the hard way

I wouldn't do that, because I know that I would be wasting 10 bucks if even one of those pins broke or warped during install.

But I can't stop people from doing stupid shit.

And I definitely can't win an argument with an idiot.

Enough said.

[cinder arch]

rude…

[proper field]

avoid coolers that use plastic pins, ive had 2 coolers from known brands just suddenly failing and literally falling off the cpu at one time because the plastic pins broke off
bequiet pure rock and hyper 212 both fell off cpu because pins snapped out of nowhere

get yourself a peerless assasin

[warm kettle]

Rude but the harsh truth, i also stand with what the others have said. Avoid plastic mounting hardware like its the plague

[proper field]

this this this, do not trust plastic mounting when dealing with any critical components. i speak from experience, almost cooked my cpu twice because plastic pins are fragile and just suddenly snap off and break

spend the extra 10-20 dollars and get a proper cooler

[cinder arch]

i’m okay with the truth tho, it’s just unnecessary to be that rude

[cinder arch]

i alr ordered a new cooler

it isn’t plastic pins i think

idk it’s deepcoal or something
