raven bane
so I have a problem with my new arctic liquid freezer ii 360
I use a r7 3800x and I get really poor performance with it
when I run p95 cpu consumes 145w and cpu is 83 degs celcius
ambient temp is 23 degs
strange flume
83 sounds fine
raven bane
I feel like this is not good since my old 240mm cooler from "xigmatek" u probably never heard before was at 115W 85 degs
I expected more from this new cooler
strange flume
so a smaller rad doesn't necessarily mean worse performance
the rad just dissipates the heat
the part that draws the heat from the chip is the coldplate and paste, yeah?
if those are inherently similar in performance then you won't see a significant increase
raven bane
yeah
raven bane
hmm still I saw people cooling like 290 watts with this cooler is it still normal
strange flume
yea
different chips, different architecture, different heat generation
different heat concentration as well
raven bane
my idle temps are high as well
raven bane
oh then its nothing I need to check
strange flume
that sounds pretty normal to me yeah
if this was a 3900X that would probably be doing about 200-ish watts
it just varies on the chip and heat concentration
did you install the offset mount as well?
raven bane
yes
strange flume
well there you go, it'll be going about as good as it can
raven bane
ok then I think its fine like this
I thought my cooler had some build problems
which would be terrible I spent 6 hours on installing this and removing the old one combined
strange flume
pump is at max speed?
raven bane
it has 1 cable so I have no idea
well
its a pwm cable
so probably it is
since pump probably runs with 12V DC power all times
if its controllable somewhere I'm not aware of
strange flume
in bios
raven bane
yes but in bios we control the fans as well with that input
strange flume
yes
absolutely
there's some performance right there
run the pump to it's own plug and set that plug in bios to max speed all the time
raven bane
and the other thing, it uses the CPU_FAN pin which is 1A I've no idea how a pump, VRM fan and 3 fans run on the same 1A pin
raven bane
wow
6
well I'll try to separate these fans but I have no idea if I have space for it in my case, it barely fit in the case
shrewd juniper
If you have a gigabyte board which usually has 2A headers instead of 1A you can do like 16 on 1 header
shrewd juniper
you can run at least 6 off one header
Like 8 iirc
raven bane
I have an msi motherboard it has 3A on pump_fan header

.12A right?

whats the right noctua fan to use as an exhaust fan?

P12 just in general is better
F12 is very similar to it iirc
But only for unobstructed airflow
Idk about s12
S12...?
Cooler master? Noctua?
knotty sparrow
whats the right noctua fan to use as an exhaust fan?
F12, S12, P12?
NF-P12 is pressure optimized so that's the one for liquid cooling, NF-F12 is a balanced model between flow and pressure, NF-S12B is low pressure, high flow, at lower noise.
So you probably want NF-S12B for exhaust.
knotty sparrow
NF-A12 is also pressure optimized and performs better than NF-P12 but also costs more
strange flume
Ye but anything less than it and you should go arctic P12 basically
knotty sparrow
Unless you want that Noctua aesthetic
knotty sparrow
No there's a BIG difference there: Noctua backs it up with performance

Hi, I’ll have 3 top fans and 2 side fans, what should I do for intake and outtake
The top 3 are AiO
clever berry
top fans you want as exhaust
uneven solstice
Wasn’t sure if that was best for temps though
Your cpu will be a tad warmer than if you ran them as intake as well as if you ran them intake on side or front panels (if you have them). However having them as exhaust (since on top) is going to be best because heat rises so it'll help vent case heat more efficiently than if you were to run them as intake (thus pushing warm air back down into the case as well as cpu heat from the rad.)
sweet lodge
having aio as intake would mean the cpu runs a bit cooler*
it'd be getting fresh ambient outside the case air
gpu would run warmer
or am i just reading what u said wrong

Im fixing up one of my Z390 gigabyte Aorus Master builds, and wondering if the following I7 cooler is good for it. Had to use a sheet metal snips, to cut off the older CPU cooler, as the release clips were unreachable due to wifi and video card. Was one of those things where the CPU cooler blocked the release tab for the video card, and the video card blocked access to the tronwire CPU cooler. I cut the bloody thing off, after I snaked a microscope camera through fan blades, and under fan, so see the grills packed with a lot of dust. Wasn't to hard to figure out why the system kept shutting down in the past, with CPU overheating. Blind spots, not even my best air compressor bits can reach. I actually bought this fan for this motherboard, but never installed it back then, as my good cutting tools were lent to my kids school, and took a few years to get them back rofl.
Check this out! https://a.co/d/d4MR0fR
Want to use the above on an 1151 I7 gigabyte Aorus, Z390. Not to be mistaken for my Z690 I9.
Come to think of it, does this motherboard have the same issue using all 4 ram slots like the Z690? I got to add another two sticks, as I have two away when I built the new systems, and only realized recently, I dont have enough ram for my commercial programs.
viscid vapor
Oh, the Tronwire pwm had another issue, which was why I replaced them all, or actually on everyone's system, but mine few years back. Something would die after two months, and they'd lock into rainbow setting, or no color at all. I was first to have RTX, my kids and wife GTX, and that slight size, barely made it so the release levers could be reached, so installed the above cooler in them all, except mine. Figure I check, before installing.

Anyways, opened it up to find almost half the system packed with dust, tar, cat hair, and dog hair, and no filters. Cleaned entire thing out, gave the cards an alcohol bath, the motherboard I only cleaned the card slots. Too many components on it that wouldn't survive an alcohol bath. I know, it was more like a $600 job, but hey,, just about every ones struggling and he offered.
.
This is almost exactly like the Tronwire I cut out.
It's not like the block coolers, it's a large cone with heat sink that sits right on top of the LGA 1151 CPU. Think I paid $20 for it. Snipping a $20 cooler, is preferable to trying to reach a tool in to press the release tab for RTX sitting next to it. Only using this as a hub at home, so I don't have to slow my good system down with SATA drives. Just trying to see if the fan I already have is good for it, or if I should get something else.
sweet lodge
put putting a long screwdriver or smth else long and thing to push the release next time
viscid vapor
Nope. Cutting a $20 fan vs slipping with thin object and risk breaking traces on a board, I'll lose the $20 than take that risk.
One slip of a small tool on today's type motherboards can easily cut through 10+ traces. Not sure to mention boards of today are 4+ layers.
Fixed a neighbors old big track toy from the 80s with a cracked PCB. Adding jumpers over broken traces easy. I'd mess up a motherboard even trying that now a days
harsh crow
In other words, the cooler fell within what you consider acceptable loss to sum it up. Correct?
Tbh I would've done the same.

These are about $9 cheaper than Arctic P14’s. I’m planning to put them on an AIO; Are the P14’s worth the extra money over them? I mostly just play games and get about 70°-75°c right now with stock ID-Cooling fans. I need two 140mm with aRGB and don’t want to pay much more than $20/fan. Prefer to work with stock ASRock RGB software

hello everyone
i dont mean to spam the chat, i apologise in advance! im in need of some help with my new gaming laptop
i need some advice. The specs seem more than ok for my basic needs, but the cpu temperature goes above 80 C degrees whithout me even playing much. Is there something i can do in regards to cooling? or should i just look for a better performing laptop?
marsh badge
what laptop is this?
spark moat
its an MSI gf3 series, i5 11th gen, geforce rtx 3050
spark moat
i see. so longterm its ok to play while temp goes over 80? and the fan blasting?
knotty sparrow
Laptop fans are a lot slimmer so they have to spin a lot faster to move enough air to cool things
marsh badge
temps aren't a concern, even while having lower is better
but anything that doesn't make cpu slow itself down means it's fine
a cpu can run 24/7 safely as long as temperature is within limits
knotty sparrow
Yep only worry when it gets to 100 or so
spark moat
i see. much appreciate it guys. its my first gaming laptop, idk that much lol. i was debating to just send it back and get an i7 or smthn. i dont know if that would make any difference
knotty sparrow
It would be hotter but not really perform much better
spark moat
do cooling pads work btw?
knotty sparrow
Sometimes. They mostly keep your lap cooler lol
spark moat
is there anything else on my behalf that i can do? any settings or upgrades?
like upgrading the ram and ssd
knotty sparrow
You could undervolt the cpu and gpu using throttlestop
That would lower temps
RAM and SSD should be upgradeable in that model
But only capacity and not speed probably
spark moat
interesting.. i shall do some homework on that throttlestop then lol! thank u
its rlly annoying.. temps are ok on medium performance but the game is just unplayable and lagging..
knotty sparrow
hwinfo can help figure that out
It'll show CPU stats like frequency and usage, memory usage, and GPU stats and any potential reason for throttling
Odds are you'll see the limit being power in a laptop. Undervolting can help with that too a bit.
magic sparrow
do cooling pads work btw?
They typically work but not in the way most people expect. They usually give a larger gap inbetween the laptop and the "floor", esp if the entire pad is a vent. A larger gap allows for better airflow, which helps cool the laptop. The fans of the cooling pad will usually not help though.
Can get the same effect by just propping the laptop on something to also allow for a larger gap between the laptop and the surface the laptop is on.
As that is all you're doing to get the effectiveness of a cooling pad usually.
uneven solstice

So if you were to somehow attach.. say.. arctic p12s to the bottom vents as well as propping the laptop up.. would that help more than just propping/having a cooling pad?? or is that essentially the same thing?
magic sparrow
So if you were to somehow attach.. say.. arctic p12s to the bottom vents as well...
I haven't seen anything to show that extra fans ever help in cooling core components. They can help in cooling the chassis tho. Basically the only cooling advantage one can get is propping the laptop up a bit (apart from TIM replacement and UVing).
snow wyvern
do cooling pads work btw?
I bought this for mine and it is wonderful: https://a.co/d/0nG7Vtj
Helped raise the screen to eye-level and improved airflow. I also put a small USB fan next to it to blow cool air to the intake and I think it helped a little. The exhaust of a laptop gets hot (had a bottle of Mountain Dew once start boiling because I set it next to the exhaust on accident, true story) and it also helped dissipate that quicker

So I bought 2 of these: https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-redux-1700-high-Performance-Award-Winning-Affordable/dp/B07CG2PGY6
with the intention of replacing my CPU fans since I didn't like how loud they were. But they seem to have come with none of the optional accessories(screenshot attached) so I can't seem to think of a way to attach them. The main thing I'm missing is something to daisy chain them, the vibration pads, and the metal brackets to connect it to the cooler.
I have a fan hub in my case which I could use instead of a y splitter, but any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Cooler I have now is AK620
low pumice

It doesn't come with those accessories, that's why it's optional, it's only listed so you know it's compatible with those accessories. You can grab some cheap y splitters, vibration pads are unnecessary, and you'll have to use whatever brackets the ak620 uses to mount it, noctua doesn't sell standardized brackets or anything like that
regal plaza

Ah weird thought the optional meant it came with them and it’s optional to use them. I’ll grab the vibration pads and pull the brackets off my cpu fans, does Y splitter matter that much? Don’t wanna break anything lol
low pumice
Splitter is just for when you don't have enough headers for your fans, if you have enough headers, you don't need a splitter

Am I allowed to do so here?
azure crown
pretty much anywhere tbh
i mean, this is the cooling chat
so if its cooling related i dont see why not lol
quasi zodiac
Delete of not allowed. And sorry in advance.
I'm having a cpu cooling issue and I'm looking for a few opinions on what it could possibly be. MOST games play fine and within normal Temps (around 150-160ish Fahrenheit) but a few get up to around 200 Fahrenheit and almost instantly when loading into said games.
I've tried cleaning off the old paste and putting on new thermal paste 2 times within 7 days time with the same issue still showing up. I've checked the rpm of the pump and it seems to be running within its specifications (around 3k ish) and I shook the rad to make sure there was still liquid inside, it didn't make a loud noise but I could hear and feel that there was liquid inside of it. And I also DEEP cleaned all the fans (including gpu fans) and the rest of the components inside the case front and back.
Asus z390-a prime
Intel i9 9900k
Lian li galahad 360 fans swapped out for mf120.
I built this pc a little over a year ago and this was the 1st time any cooling issues have shown face.
I can post the rest of the build specs if needed.

You'd see excessively high temperature and potentially thermal shutdown
shrewd juniper
I'd make sure the pump is running at 100% and if that doesn't work try remounting the cooler
Or could undervolt, the 9900k is notoriously hard to cool
Could also possibly make the fan curve more aggressive
quasi zodiac
You'd see excessively high temperature and potentially thermal shutdown
Even at idle speeds? Any way to unclog an AIO? or re fill the system?

Technically there should be a fill point for the galahad on like the radiator, but I kinda doubt it has issues
How much power is this cpu pulling?
quasi zodiac
I really wouldn't expect a galahad to clog
I didn't either. Especially in a years time. Both hoses are cool to the touch.
strange flume
So it's definitely not working as intended
And you can hear a hum from the pump so pump is working
How are you mounting the cooler? Take us through your process
quasi zodiac
Yupnbios says 3k + rpm
strange flume
How much power is this cpu pulling?
And also this
quasi zodiac
Yup bios*
strange flume
Is it idling at a low-ish temp in bios?
quasi zodiac
Uhhh it's stock no overclocking.
Yes no heat issues at all until I start to game
And only certain games.
strange flume
But bios temperature is what?
quasi zodiac
30c 40c
quasi zodiac
I've never had an issue before. And then bam all of a sudden temps..
strange flume
So take me through your repaste process
How do you do paste, how do you tighten the cooler down?
If the aio was genuinely clogged then bios you'd see high idle
quasi zodiac
So I unscrewed the AIO. Cleaned up the old paste put new stuff on the cpu side about a small pea size. Lower the AIO pump onto the cpu and evenly apply pressure while screwing down a corner little by little do each side.
strange flume
Ok
quasi zodiac
Until it's not super tight but tight enough to make contact.
strange flume
Finger tight?
quasi zodiac
Yup slightly past finger tight.
strange flume
It sounds all kind of alright tbh, if I could make a new suggestion
quasi zodiac
100%
strange flume
Just to rule out the paste job
quasi zodiac
Yeah
strange flume
Can you do it again, but try spreading the paste so it covers the ihs*
Then screw it down the same as before
Sometimes a pea size can spread poorly on some coolers
quasi zodiac
So apply to the die side of the AIO and fully cover it instead of doing the cpu side?
strange flume
Which paste is it? Is it old?
quasi zodiac
It's new corsair paste
strange flume
Which one
quasi zodiac
Uhh best buy had 2 different ones I got the more expensive one lol 1 sec I'll go grab it.
quasi zodiac
Sheesh I have the 50
strange flume
It's possible you can have a bad batch if the first couple days temps are fine but then temps go bad real fast
Ah 50 le sadge
Not terrible
But not great
Still, give it a go
quasi zodiac
Will do. It will be a but but as soon as I get the chance I'll re paste. Yesterday when I did this it was still hot. I'd get like 45 min of gaming and then ot would start to heat up around 180ish Fahrenheit.
strange flume
So it'd start ok, then get hot quite quick?
quasi zodiac
If gaming yes
strange flume
Oh yeah but that's the pea method
Oh
Hmm
I wonder
Does the xtm50 look like, really wet? When you put it on
Or is it maybe really thick
quasi zodiac
I can do normal things all day long with Bo heating issues. And yes it looks greasy wet
strange flume
Greasy wet ooo ok
And this happened with the original galahad paste?
Like, when you first built the pc
quasi zodiac
I replaced the original with a thermogrizzly paste I had when I built the pc. Ran into heat issues and had to buy more paste. I got stuck with this corsair stuff
strange flume
Was the thermal grizzly ok at first?
quasi zodiac
But the original paste job lasted about a year. I moved my setup across the room and after that started having heat issues.
strange flume
Ah yeah
Ok I think we might have hit the nail on the head
The paste could just be a bad batch
quasi zodiac
Damn you corsair
strange flume
Try buying some arctic mx-6/mx-4
quasi zodiac
I'll order it now
strange flume
Or gc extreme, nt-h2
quasi zodiac
Should I send a pic of the paste?
quasi zodiac
Like the actual paste not the tube
strange flume
Ah, you can if you want
But I mean if it goes bad in 45 minutes it doesn't sound normal at all
quasi zodiac
Agreed 100%
strange flume
Even just gaming, in fact especially gaming of all things lmao
If when you take it off, it feels like, really dry, I'd be all the more suspect
quasi zodiac
Yeah yesterday I repasted no different from when I built it just a different paste and within 15 min of the re paste ots still 190 200 degrees Fahrenheit it was very dry when I wiped it off.
strange flume
Yeah I'm really suspect it's separated and gone bad
Either really old batch or just a bad batch
quasi zodiac
Started off wet when Appling then when it's cleaned off it's like an anti seize material
strange flume
Yeah, that's what bad paste will be like
It's meant to stay moist
Maybe a bit thick when you take it off later
When you put it on this next time, do the full spread like I suggested, just enough to cover the ihs
quasi zodiac
I'll order the new stuff now and I'll be in touch. Thank you very much my friend! Should I still try the re paste method again?
With this corsair stuff
strange flume
You could, it might help? But I mean, 30 minutes of pasting for 45 minutes of ok temps
? Doesn't sound really worth the time
quasi zodiac
It sucks lol
strange flume
As long as that CPU isn't sitting near 100C/212F it's ok
When you're doing your thing
strange flume
quasi zodiac
But was split second and I home screened to try to fix the problem.
strange flume
Maybe take a little hiatus until it's good, or change the power limits in the bios to something much lower than stock
Like, 120W
For PL1 and PL2
Change it back when you repaste
But even then it might still be getting hot on less than that lmao
quasi zodiac
I'll take a pc gaming break and hit the old Xbox for a week.
You think the new paste will not help?
strange flume
I think the new paste will def help
quasi zodiac
But even then it might still be getting hot on less than that lmao
Just got confused by this
quasi zodiac
Ahh gotcha yeah I assume it's going thru the roof it can wait for new paste.
strange flume
The fact you were fine on Kryo for a year but 45 minutes on XTM50 is very telling
Kryo is a very wet paste, and dries out in about that time (sometimes 6 months)
It sounds really like the corsair stuff is separating
quasi zodiac
Yeah I had the same thought but felt stupid after my recent adventures of repaste the world over and over haha
strange flume
Hey man, trial and error
There's no other way to know without monkeying through it lolol
When you do the repaste the next time, do a full ihs spread, just to be sure
Dot can be fine but on a 9900K especially, it's a very dense and hot chip
Full spread will bring temps down more
quasi zodiac
I greatly appreciate you mymro! And will use this method! I'll be in touch.

Anyone know the best brands to get AIO coolers from
strange flume
Deepcool
For just about anything rn
Arctic for b stock coolers
EK for aio's (basic 1st gen or lux 2nd gen)
Anything else is a pass unless it goes terribly cheap
(hopefully not for a bad reason * cough cough * MSI)
sacred wren
Lian li galahad is an honorable mention, just normally not competitive pricing compared to ls720
strange flume
Yeah rarely you get a good galahad sale
sacred wren
Deepcool castle ex is acceptable, not as good as those others

You're not supposed to use the stock fans on the CLC silly, you replace them with P12s
And you still end up only paying like $90 for a 360mm after the fans (when it's on a proper sale)

I got my clc 280 for $60, and then put two p14s on it

I can't seem to find the video (it was some really obscure Chinese review) that showed inconsistent milling (flat vs convex). It's probs still out there somewhere but I'm too lazy to look. I assume they've fixed that issue as Ive seen a good amount of the newer pa120 SE out in the wild, the updated ones. Pa120 SE also used to come with a crappy bracket for lga1700 that was beyond awful, but that seems to be fixed now. At this point from the reviews and the people I've talked to, it seems like a fine cooler to reccomend now
strange flume
Alright
Someone was asking about it, so I'll still see if I can find the review
But cheers man, revisions are welcome
Yeah google isn't very helpful
Not getting any positive hits

Hey I've got a i5 10400f stock cooler and I am building a new pc however I need a new backplate due to my other pc having premade ones in the back case, could anyone help me of finding a back plate?

You can find a pretty inexpensive backplate for the lga 1200

Is there any longer ones?@tulip matrix
tulip matrix
What motherboard are you trying to put it on
tulip matrix
So why were you needing a "longer" backplate than the one I linked?
formal flume
I've found a square backplate Intel in my room and it was cm off from actually going together
Like it wasn't able to reach regardless the amount of pressure I did it
@tulip matrix could you help me in this situation?
tulip matrix
Actually let me see if I can find my favorite one that I've used before
formal flume
This is for a stock cooler interestingly enough
tulip matrix
I've used this before for both a I5-9400F and I5-11600K https://a.co/d/jbqnsb6
formal flume
Yeah... I used that and won't work xd
tulip matrix
That's odd
tulip matrix
Are you saying the bracket doesn't have enough height for the screws to reach or wont fit to the socket itself?
tulip matrix
So, I might not be able to help but that is particularly odd that it didn't fit
tulip matrix
I'm sorry, wouldn't happen to know
formal flume
Would a smaller cooler do the trick?
fluid lichen
Don't think so
formal flume
Okay so my friend came in with a big heatsink and it fitted with one metal sides but I need one more do you know how I can acquire this? @fluid lichen
For more detail it has one hole in the middle screwed
