[upbeat tusk]

what is the batter cooler for i5 10400F than the original one?

[knotty eagle]

ID Cooling SSE224xt

or Gammax 400

[upbeat tusk]

thank you

[knotty eagle]

YW

[near wadi]

Finally got my new PC setup thanks to a ton of help from you all. Everything is perfect but the heatsink and fan and angled down slightly just from gravity. Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's not drastic at all but noticeable. Hard to tell from the pic but the side furthest from the mobo is ever so slightly lower. Temps are fine on the CPU and I checked that contact is good, paste is intact. Just looks awkward.

[buoyant kestrel]

some fans work better in a vertical/horizontal setting. If it bothers you enough, you can straighten it out as much as you need and pretend that you're just eliminating wobble in the fan rather than entertaining your OCD. 😉

[covert garden]

ayo

why are my fans gathering like a fine black dust all over them

[magic wave]

They telling you to clean them

[knotty sparrow]

Black dust? Do you smoke/vape?

[knotty eagle]

Woodstove in the house?

[glacial sequoia]

I can't find them online and I can't remember for the lide of me, what are those little fancy copper tubes that move heat called?

[granite patrol]

heatpipes?

[knotty sparrow]

Heat pipes

[glacial sequoia]

yeah! thanks

[covert garden]

I clean them literally every two days but the dust is accumulating a lottt

I read that it could be the fans deteriorating or that they were badly installed?

[knotty sparrow]

If it's grinding something as the fans are spinning it's a possibility

[twilit abyss]

if they were grinding something as much to be accumulating at that rate, it'd be making a whole lotta noise i feel like

[knotty sparrow]

Unless it's oil from the bearings coming out and sticking to the dust, which would be less noisy but would start skipping/slowing

[covert garden]

i think they are noisy idk tho this is my first pc

[jagged chasm]

@indigo widget hey guys for cooling your cpu with an aio when you mount your radiator and lets just say i mount it at the front of my case should i have the tubes going into the radiator at the top or the bottom cause im thinking that if i do it at the top their will be a lot of air bubbles. how should i mount it and where should the tubes go in?

[tired fog]

it doesn't really affect performance tbh

putting the tubes at the bottom reduces noice tho

[floral field]

Pump under radiator

Increasing lifespan

[tired fog]

yeah jus dont put the pump above the highest point in the radiator

[low pumice]

pump being the highest spot can hurt performance and damage the pump itself

[floral field]

https://youtu.be/BbGomv195sk

[tired fog]

bruhv

[low pumice]

There's also this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKwA7ygTJn0

[floral field]

Yeah

[jagged chasm]

@indigo widget yeah see dude i told u it isnt good to mount it like that

ok thanks guys i told cole glifford all that stuff and he cusssed me out and got really mad at me for just trying to help 😦

but thanks for the advice maybe he will listen now

but i think he blocked me so can you guys tell him that aswel

[tired fog]

how did he mount it?

[jagged chasm]

he mounted it on the front with the tubes at the top of the radiator

[tired fog]

that's fine

[jagged chasm]

so their would be air bubbles and etc

[tired fog]

did you watch the whole video?

[jagged chasm]

yeah ive watched it a few times

[low pumice]

watch jay's video too

the answer in the end is that both works

tubes up tubes down

[tired fog]

it doesn't really matter as long as the pump, the thing that goes on the cpu in most aio's, isn't above the radiator

[low pumice]

as long as pump isn't above rad

[tired fog]

and it looks better with tubes at the top tbh

[low pumice]

nah

I don't likeit

and my belief is still tubes down is optimal

[tired fog]

yeah i agree

[magic patrol]

wrap cpu coolers with rgb

[ashen yoke]

anyone have any suggestions on how I should air cool a 3950x? It will be in a meshify c fractal design with gskill trident z rgb ram sticks(not allowing for the 2 fan noctua cooler i would prefer due to case size)

[low pumice]

You can fit a NH-U12a though

158mm height when your case supports up to 172mm

[ashen yoke]

is that gonna be good enough for the 3950x? if so i am totally down

[low pumice]

Noctua says so
https://ncc.noctua.at/coolers/NH-U12A-8/cpus/AMD/AM4/?q=3950x

[ashen yoke]

thank you my friend i appreciate it and will now use these references to check myself

i never knew noctua had this comparability feature! appreciate the help

[ebon meadow]

I have this fan in my computer that makes a weird noise when I turn on my pc but it happens randomly and can’t figure out what it is

[low pumice]

:)

@ebon meadow is it hitting anything?

[ebon meadow]

Not that I see but it only happens randomly on start ups, like right now there is no noise

[knotty eagle]

Could be the bearing going out

Next time push lightly on the center while it's spinning to slow it down and then let go and see if it goes away

[ebon meadow]

I do that and it does sum times but yeah I think that’s what it is

Any fix to it??

[knotty eagle]

NOt really. New fan time

[ebon meadow]

oh damn okay thanks

[knotty eagle]

Ye, new fan like $12 though

Artic, unless you have RGB

[ebon meadow]

nah just a black fan lol

thanks, ive had that problem for a while and was wondering what it was

[knotty eagle]

Ye, bearing

Try and find one with a rifle or dual ball bearing

Fluid bearings are yucky

[low pumice]

@knotty eagle smh stop your slandering of Noctua fans' bearings

[knotty eagle]

I thought they used ball?

[low pumice]

SSO2 is "self-stabilising oil-pressure bearing"

so no, they use oil

and magnet

[knotty eagle]

That's different from fluid bearing

[low pumice]

afaik it's the same? Oil based bearing

[knotty eagle]

Mmm, Noctuas design is different

lemme see if I can find pic

The fluid bearings don't have magnets in them for stabilization

It's just pressurized fluid and a shaft

They don't like to be run in a vertical position

[low pumice]

Fair enough

[knotty eagle]

Obviously you know what Noctuas bearing looks like

The difference is that ONLY the fluid is used to stabilize the fan

Once dust gets on the seal (and it will) or if it's mounted vertically the fan shaft itself wears on the seal, it's game over

Noctua uses magnets to keep the weight of the shaft from wearing on the seal

[low pumice]

Oh interesting

[wraith heron]

Hi everyone! 👋
I need to replace a CPU fan on an old 2015 ASUS tower. I'm confident I can replace the part myself if I only have to deal with the 4 screws and connect the cable to the motherboard but I have no clue how to find a fan that would work as a replacement. The original part number is 13071-00220800

[knotty sparrow]

What CPU is it?

It doesn't need to be an exact match to the original part number. As long as the new fan fits the socket.

[knotty eagle]

Oh, that's an odd sized fan for a really old CPU

is it out of an ASUS tower pc?

[wraith heron]

@knotty sparrow Thanks for the lightning fast answer! It's an AMD CPU

[knotty sparrow]

Which model specifically? We'll want to make sure it cools enough if it's a high power model.

[knotty eagle]

AMD A10-6700

Socket FM2

[wraith heron]

@knotty eagle Yes, it's a cheap tower I bought 6 years ago as an HTPC and retro gaming

[knotty sparrow]

Well good news there is there's a lot of fan compatibility

[knotty eagle]

K, just checking to be sure. Found the cooler

[wraith heron]

You guys are real ninjas! 😉

[knotty eagle]

If it were me, honestly, due to the age of that system, I'd remove the cooler, apply new thermal paste and just get a new $20 cooler

SOmething like this https://www.newegg.com/deepcool-gammaxx-300/p/N82E16835856006?Description=FM2 CPU fan&cm_re=FM2_CPU fan-_-35-856-006-_-Product

[wraith heron]

@knotty eagle The price is totally right for me but I have to admit I'm a bit intimidated about the thermal paste, that's something I never did.

[knotty eagle]

Mmmm, EZPZ. Just need paper towels and some rubbing alcohol 90% from the drug store

Then you put a drop of paste in the center of the CPU, pea sized, and install cooler

If you don't want to do that

I'm 99% certain the fan size for that one is 80mm

Ah

Found it

70mm fan

[wraith heron]

Are you sure? I just measured the width (including the outer square frame) and it's 80mm but I may not be taking measures the right way

The actual spinning part is about 75mm

[knotty eagle]

Ah, 80mm then

I found another cooler that listed 70

[wraith heron]

Is there something I should look for outside of the number of pins on the connector? Wattage maybe?

[knotty eagle]

Nope, just 80mm and probably 3 pins

[wraith heron]

There are 4 pins

[knotty sparrow]

3/4 pins doesn't matter much tbh. You can put a 3 pin fan on a 4 pin connector and vice versa, it will just support DC mode and not PWM

[wraith heron]

@knotty eagle @knotty sparrow I can't thank you enough, I really appreciate the time you both spent to help me! 🙏

[knotty eagle]

YW

[swift pumice]

cooling is a jojo reference to iggy dieing to ice

[narrow verge]

Will 12mm tube work for a 3070 and a ryzen 7 3700x or should i get 16mm ? I accidentally orderd 12mm

[vivid citrus]

yeah so

as a resident halfwit i bought a case that wont allow my AIO fans to be installed bc of my MOBO heatsyncs

can i just run a 240 AIO with one fan on a hevily overclocked r5 5600x

[knotty eagle]

Possibly. WOn't know until you try.

[vivid citrus]

ok cool

i bought an entermax sf30

kinda underated case

[narrow verge]

Any imput on 12 or 16 mm tube?

[sullen sphinx]

It really does not matter

just looks

[narrow verge]

Ah alright

I might end up ordering 16mm

I orderd a 480 rad but i guess my case cant fit that

[topaz blaze]

So I bought an open box Noctua dh15
it didnt come with the am4 brackets
and thermal compound
do you think it would be more worth it to return it at the store and get a new one or just buy the bracket on amazon
bracket and thermal paste?

[knotty eagle]

I'd contact Noctua TBH. They probably get you the brackets cheap or free

[twin urchin]

noctua may just send them to you if you ask

[knotty eagle]

Thermal compound, Arctic Silver MX4/5 or Thermal Grizzly

[topaz blaze]

I was gonna go with thermal grizzly but I've had it before and I personally didnt see much of a difference

[knotty eagle]

Yeah, you honestly probably won't see more than 1-3C

[topaz blaze]

I was thinking of just using noctua H1 or something I have on hand. I am currently using the cryorig h7 with coolermaster thermal paste from their evo line

[dark badger]

anyone have recommendations for a cooler for the 5600x, with some overclocking? I was thinking around the 50 ish dollar range

[knotty eagle]

ID cooling SSE224

[topaz blaze]

Can anyone tell me if the kraken x63 can also do gifs in the block? or is it just the z63? Also does anyone cool their 10900k with a kraken?

[floral field]

it's just the z version

[knotty eagle]

oooh, pretty

[dark badger]

@knotty eagle thanks for the recommendation

[knotty eagle]

Welcome!

[thin orchid]

should i get an aio? it'll be my first so which one should i get? i'll have the 10400f

preferably cheaper

[atomic jetty]

you don't NEED an aio

[thin orchid]

yeah, but imo it looks better

[teal wing]

hello?

[low pumice]

@thin orchid well my answer is you really shouldn't for a 10400f

get a SE-224-XT

[old wigeon]

Hi

[teal wing]

so im looking for a cooler here are my requerments

[old wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/audrey-hepburn-what-glasses-shades-im-listening-gif-15337165

[teal wing]

-Has to cool r5 3600 with a decent oc
-under 60$ canadian
-preferably black to match my build

[low pumice]

Gammaxx 400 black might still be ~40cad

lemme check

[teal wing]

im looking at this one but i dont know if its good

[low pumice]

nvm

[teal wing]

this is 50cad
https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=8_129&item_id=160984

Gammaxx gt over 212 :P

[teal wing]

ok

so this will cool it fine

amd stock coolers are so bad when tuboing

i was in the low 90s

i had to underclock to 2.2 ghz

[supple harbor]

whats idle temps?

[teal wing]

like 50

thats boosting not underclocked

undercloked temps are like 42

[supple harbor]

oh ic

[teal wing]

the motherboard temps???

[supple harbor]

hmm?

[teal wing]

around 30-45

you said ic integrated circuit

[supple harbor]

i meant it as i see

[teal wing]

lol

[supple harbor]

yea lol

while im here, any recommendations for aios?

besides the arctic freezer

[teal wing]

hmmm 120mm 240mm 360mm what cpu r u running?

[supple harbor]

anything under 360

[velvet rain]

ek is good

[teal wing]

whats ur cpu

[supple harbor]

undecided

[teal wing]

pcpartpicker.com

[supple harbor]

dunno if ima stick with ryzen or go with intel

[teal wing]

RYZEN

intel dodod

[supple harbor]

10700kf about the same price as a 5600x

[teal wing]

5600x better for workloads

[velvet rain]

5600x beat in single

no 10700 beat in multi

[supple harbor]

yea, point is they trade blows and one is more readily available

[teal wing]

unless your playing a game that uses 1 core then go with ryzen

[velvet rain]

bc physically more cores

no for workloads 10700kf>5600x bc 8vs6 corse

[teal wing]

whats ur buget for aio???

[supple harbor]

i would like to stay under 150

[teal wing]

ok

rgb or not?

[low pumice]

@supple harbor ek-aio, freezer ii, galahad

I heard h150i was on a decent sale too

[teal wing]

lance

rgb or not

[low pumice]

And yea 10700kf>5600x in any workstation tasks

[supple harbor]

the freezer ii is too thicc

[teal wing]

lance

rgb or not?

[low pumice]

just don't get corsair rgb ram smh

H150i, H100i, those corsair ones, if they're a good price, might work

theres 4

[low pumice]

@supple harbor Can you fit 240/280 on top?

[teal wing]

good brands

[low pumice]

or what

[supple harbor]

im gonna be switching to a nr200

[teal wing]

case

???

[supple harbor]

afaik, freezer is too thick, everything thinner should be fine

[low pumice]

hm

[supple harbor]

and yea its a case

[teal wing]

ok

[low pumice]

ek-aio will prob fit

side mount

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0842Z9WYG

please don't bottom mount it

[teal wing]

theres 4 coolers that are under160 cad

[supple harbor]

dont plan to

from what i remember, ek, freezer and lian li had the best aios

[low pumice]

Yea

they are

[teal wing]

i would reccomend the corsair rgb or the corsair

[low pumice]

and then the standard asetech designs behind those

[teal wing]

corsairs good but expensive

[low pumice]

Corsair/NZXT use standard asetech pumps

[supple harbor]

next build should have 0 rgb

not paying the premium for rgb lol

[teal wing]

ok this one then

[low pumice]

Ek-aio cheapest atm other than freezer ii lol

[teal wing]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/8mJtt6/corsair-h100x-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060040-ww

[supple harbor]

but if a good aio has rgb, i dont mind

its not a must to not have rgb

[low pumice]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0842Z9WYG

there

[teal wing]

well the corsair ones the same but more expensive 4 rgb

bro thats rgb

[low pumice]

bro

[teal wing]

no matter what ur still gonna end up paying extra 4 rgb

[low pumice]

and I think H100x is on last gen asetech too, Corsair is confusing with their products

[teal wing]

yep

[supple harbor]

ek aio prob will be what i pick up unless something better comes out when i plan to purchase

[narrow verge]

i like how ek has no instructions on the 3070 install so im just slapping thermal pads on my card

[teal wing]

hi

is this a good cpu cooler????/

https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=8_129&item_id=160984

[narrow verge]

it doesn't load for me. post a picture

[low pumice]

It's a gammaxx gt

[narrow verge]

deep cool is usually good

3.7 star rating

[low pumice]

wat

[narrow verge]

what

[narrow verge]

i was talking about newegg

[low pumice]

either way

consumer reviews are

not great

[narrow verge]

yeah it should be good enough

[teal wing]

for a r5 3600 witha decent oc???

[narrow verge]

what cpu

[teal wing]

for a r5 3600 witha decent oc???

[narrow verge]

what base and what oc speed

[low pumice]

some testing including 212 for example

[teal wing]

oc 4.2 ghz base 3.6

Where did u find that graph

!!!

[narrow verge]

i mean you "should" be good

[teal wing]

ok

[low pumice]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/deepcool-gammaxx-gt/6.html

[narrow verge]

but if you want to oc all the time get a better one id say

[low pumice]

You can ignore the price-to-performance bit of their review because they had it for 55 usd, you'll have it for 50 cad

[narrow verge]

i can buy it for 30usd

[teal wing]

usd not cad

[narrow verge]

😂👌 i know

[teal wing]

lol

so its good right??

[low pumice]

Yes

it's good

[narrow verge]

yeah

[bright ether]

Which of these is better cooling

https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-masterliquid-ml240l-rgb-liquid-cooling-system/p/2YM-0004-00015?Description=240mm radiator&cm_re=240mm_radiator-_-2YM-0004-00015-_-Product

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-hydro-series-h100i-rgb-platinum-se-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835181179

[tired fog]

are you set on buying one of those two?

[bright ether]

no, still open, must be 240 mm radiator and fit intel b460 chipset

[tired fog]

the liquid freezer ii is one of the best aio's and it comes in the 240mm size at only 99 bucks

if you want rgb, there's the ek-aio

[bright ether]

I don't care about rgb, just which one has better cooling?

[tired fog]

the ek one, but it's more expensive for a difference of a few degrees cooler than the liquid freezer ii, which seels for 99 bucks

the ek one sells for 120 bucks

[bright ether]

iquid freezer ii is not comptible with b460

[tired fog]

wdym?

[bright ether]

I mean it doesnt fit the chipset

[tired fog]

it's the socket that matters not necessarily the chipset

[bright ether]

Its the 1200 socket

LGA 1200

[tired fog]

yeah the liquid freezer ii does have mounting hardware for lga 1200

so it's compatible

[bright ether]

It does?

[knotty eagle]

Anything 115 futs 1200

Fits

[bright ether]

Okay thank u

Question: I have an i7-10700 8 core 16 thread, how hot should it get a max load with the new coolor

[vivid citrus]

Is 80ish celsius throttling?

I have it under a 100% load

So its not realistically going to be here a lot but

[narrow verge]

just hard line it

ez

[golden copper]

I would go with an nh-d15 or 240 aio up.

Noctua Also has evey kind of mounting hardware

[bright ether]

Yeah I ain't got that kinda money but thanks though

[golden copper]

Ok

[bright ether]

Will the radiator fit on top?

[azure crown]

check the case manufacturers website

[bright ether]

It says it will support a 240 mm on top

[azure crown]

there you go

[bright ether]

Its this right

Any thoughts?

[narrow verge]

ek didnt send me the right screws

i cant put on my back plate

[narrow verge]

i lied i found the right screws

[tired fog]

liar smh

[knotty eagle]

This one, $30 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VTqBD3/id-cooling-se-224-xt-basic-7616-cfm-cpu-cooler-se-224-xt-basic

[lucid ocean]

Do you know if it has ‘proper’ contact for a Xeon?

Like flat vs concave vs convex pad...?

Some guys in another server have been telling me it needs to be compatible, which I though was the job of thermal paste lol

[knotty eagle]

Yeah, that seems odd

CPU's SHOULD be flat but often are raised slightly in the middle

And I don't know of any coolers that don't come flat

I have honestly never even heard of that outside of some Intel CPU's being slightly raised in the center but that's just how they do their IHS

[lucid ocean]

Alright lol

I’ll go for it and see what happens

$30 bucks ain’t bad lol

[knotty eagle]

It's a great cooler too

[vivid citrus]

@lucid ocean good to see another xeon man here

I would also look at the deep cool gamaxx 400

I have that on mine

[dusk loom]

helo

[cold island]

hm https://youtu.be/0WQnWOrJg3s

[tired fog]

at least it's black

[knotty eagle]

Might be a Noctua rebrand TBH

IDK

[low pumice]

Just wait for nf-a12x25 chromax black

[tired fog]

wonder when that'll come out

[idle tiger]

If you can't beat em join em

[kindred kindle]

oof

[bright ether]

When plugging in CPU AIO to mobo, do I plug it into cpu fan 1 or pump fan 1?

[knotty sparrow]

Pump goes into pump slot, fans go in CPU fan slot

If for some reason yours is weird and only has 1 use the CPU fan

[bright ether]

So the part on the cpu goes into pump fan, the radiator goes into cpu fan?

[knotty sparrow]

Yes, the pump is typically in the CPU block

[bright ether]

thanks

Does https://www.newegg.com/arctic-cooling-liquid-freezer-ii-240-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835186247?Item=N82E16835186247 come with the wires that I plug into the mobo?

[tired fog]

it does

[grave girder]

why i have those temperature spikes:

damn why i cant paste photo?

btw i have big temperature spikes on idle

from 33 to 42 celcius

on cpu

fresh thermal paste

[knotty sparrow]

Can't post pictures until you're level 3. Either chat with us until you're leveled up or DM me the photo and I can post it

[autumn osprey]

Hey

Can someone help me with radiator placement

[knotty sparrow]

What case do you have?

[autumn osprey]

Corsair 4000D

I want to the Corsair Capellix series

I was gonna ask 280 on top exhaust vs 360 on the front intake

And can someone recommend me a great case fan

[knotty sparrow]

360 on the front will pull cool air through the rad

[tired fog]

280 on top will let the rest of your system breathe better

[autumn osprey]

But dosent making the rad exhaust system air

make it worse

can someone explain the concept

[tired fog]

its good enough having it as exhaust

[autumn osprey]

So its not bad for the rad

[tired fog]

lemme research a lil more tho and see what differences there are

[knotty sparrow]

I use my liquid cooler as a top exhaust, it's perfectly fine. There's only a few degrees difference effectively.

[tired fog]

yeah just saw, it doesn't really matter much, for the cpu, haven't found enough info on the vrm and gpu temps

[autumn osprey]

Oh ok

Thanks Boys

I'm gonna do 3 front intake 3 exhaust

I don't what to buy for intake fans though

Can you guys recommend great case fans ?

[knotty sparrow]

RGB?

[autumn osprey]

Dosent matter

Just want the best airflow performance

so rgb or not cool either way

[tired fog]

jus use the fans the aio comes with as intake

and the two fans the 4000d comes with as exhaust

not sure if this is what your looking for

but here ya go

just in case this is up your alley :)

[atomic jetty]

very normal

[ruby jackal]

Has anyone here had any success with a fan controller in the 5.25 bay

[narrow verge]

😅😅 i need 9 fans

7 not 9 oops

might just order some deep cool ones

[autumn mirage]

sounds good!

good luck with the build

[narrow verge]

thanks, just slapped on the cpu cooler

[winged quail]

looks trash

[iron jacinth]

I damaged a mobo from installing a cooler wrong once. Was an AM4 socket.

[narrow verge]

😂😂😂 what

[bright ether]

Anyone know what cooler this pc has

https://www.newegg.com/msi-codex-r-10sc/p/N82E16883152627?Item=N82E16883152627

[lucid hawk]

all of them

[bright ether]

cooler*

[narrow verge]

i can look if i find

@bright ether https://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=9siv1xgc989596&bri=9b-13c-00aa-00001

that looks like it

that is the one

👍

[bright ether]

I think thats iut

it*

Thank you!!

[bright ether]

How would I remove cooler

https://www.newegg.com/darkflash-shadow/p/13C-00AA-00001

[vivid citrus]

What do u mean remove

[bright ether]

as in, take off of cpu

[tropic hare]

there are 4 screws

you just use a Phillips screwdriver and unscrew the screws

[bright ether]

thats easy thanks

[swift pumice]

Looks pretty good, soft or hard tubing?

What’s the specs and are using 2 360s. I’m curiously on the idle and load temps

[narrow verge]

yes 2 360s, ryzen 7 3700x and a 3070. i plan to oc both also 32g ddr4 cl19 3600 speed ram

and hard line

[narrow verge]

no problem

[swift pumice]

How much did the loop cost?

[narrow verge]

about 600 into the loop right now

including fabs

fans*

[swift pumice]

Could’ve invest more into the gpu and cpu but it’s still really good

[narrow verge]

?? the 3070s are 1k retail right now. i spent 700 on it

i may be making a cool rig but im still on a budget 😅😅😅

im currently over 3k usd into it

[swift pumice]

Oofff

[narrow verge]

😅😅 yeahh

all im waiting for right now is my second rad and the tubes for it

[onyx burrow]

question: my aio cpu cooler is ticking and I need to replace it, do i buy another aio or go air cooling

[covert apex]

What CPU?

[onyx burrow]

8350k

[covert apex]

You dont need an AIO at all

just get a air cooler

[onyx burrow]

i have a cooler master ml240l rgb cooling it rn, it was so quiet tho

but now it goes brrr

[covert apex]

Get a Noctua cooler then

very quiet and high quality

[onyx burrow]

tru tru, that's a good idea

[covert apex]

Noctua, Scythe, Arctic all have good quiet coolers

[onyx burrow]

wait wat the heck? noctua black coolers are over 120?

why wouldnt i just go aio at that point

[covert apex]

no they aint

get a U12S

Or get a cheaper Arctic

[onyx burrow]

oh i can't send imgur links

um

[covert apex]

U12S is $60

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-U12S-Premium-Cooler-NF-F12/dp/B00C9EYVGY/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=U12S&qid=1612649397&sr=8-2

[onyx burrow]

on newegg im seeing u12s as 125

but it's not black edition 😢

[covert apex]

Black is still $60

on amazon

[onyx burrow]

oh wtf newegg

[covert apex]

This will also work fine

I recommend this instead actually

You dont need a super good cooler for an i3

[onyx burrow]

however, in the future wat if ill probably want to go ryzen zen 3

[covert apex]

Which CPU

This would cool a Ryzen 7 fine without overclocking

[onyx burrow]

idk yet, i probably wont upgrade for 2 or 3 more years

so maybe that's hasty

isn't noctuas mounting easier?

[covert apex]

I mean not really

They are about the same

[onyx burrow]

ok, looks like they both work for amd and intel so that's good ig

would noctua be quieter?

[covert apex]

Yes

[onyx burrow]

ok, i would prioritize that tbh

guess im gonna get the noctua one, thanks

wait

i do overclock my cpu to 4.20 ghz, i should still be fine right?

[hallow marsh]

if i were to do a full system loop, how would the system know to ramp up fans as a result of GPU/CPU load?
would i still have to plug the pump into the aio pump header?
and would the radiator fans be plugged into the case or cpu fan headers, and if my board only has 2 cpu fan headers, would a splitter work on them if i were to install a 360 rad?

[idle tiger]

Better to run pump at constant speed and have fan rpm based on water temp

[hollow pilot]

So I’m reading comments on this desktop https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali473/p/N82E16883360058?Item=N82E16883360058&utm_medium=TraEmail&utm_source=TEMC-Shipping-New-Tracking-Notification-Responsive-US&cm_mmc=TEMC-Shipping-New-Tracking-Notification-Responsive-US-_-N82E16883360058

I ordered it and it’s on the way. What kind of liquid cooler options should I look at? Also any info on how to fix rgb issues

I don’t know anything about computer builds

[covert apex]

You don't really need liquid cooling on this.

Just get a good air cooler.

[hollow pilot]

Say I wanted to go that route though.

[covert apex]

You should not because the motherboard and the CPU can't OC.

If you really wanted to for some dumb reason, you could get an EK AIO.

[hollow pilot]

Fair.

Like I said I know nothing about pc builds XD

Then it’s the rgb fix? I’m guessing a software patch?

[covert apex]

What problems are you having with the RGB?

[hollow pilot]

None yet. I’m trying to mitigate any issues that may arise from comments I’ve read on the newegg site

[covert apex]

On the photo it shows a Thermaltake cooler with RGB.

[hollow pilot]

Prior to the desktop arrival

[covert apex]

So you would need Thermaltakes RGB software

https://ttrgbplus.thermaltake.com/

[hollow pilot]

I appreciate the help

A lot

[covert apex]

The fans look like some random company, so im not sure if you can even control them

it most likely will come with a small RGB remote

[hollow pilot]

Anyway I’m asking because there is a good pc parts store where I live. (Okinawa)

[covert apex]

Actually I think it uses the motherboard software

[hollow pilot]

So might look into a good cpu fan there

Thanks again.

[vivid citrus]

The one it has is a great wall unit, better than nothing

[winged quail]

guys im not sure what to do i woke up this morning with lots of smoke in my apartment and its from the fans and my pc is still off and still smoking what do i do pls help FAST

[knotty sparrow]

unplug it to start

[winged quail]

i did

still smoking

[knotty sparrow]

Something is shorted, start pulling wires off the board

[winged quail]

ok

[lofty igloo]

hello. I'm new. I bought a new comp 2 weeks ago and it keeps freezing up and seems to be over heated, but not really that hot.
I work from home and if I forget to put the extra fan on about 1/2 way through my 8 hr shift it goes all wonky and freezes and I have to cold boot.
help? advise?

[lucid ocean]

First off, what are your specs?

[lofty igloo]

idk

where would I find that info

[low pumice]

What did you buy?

[lucid ocean]

Yeah lol, where’d you buy it from?

[lofty igloo]

gp75 leopard

newegg

[lucid ocean]

Ah, laptop then

If it’s still smoking I would open the back panel and try to figure out where the smoke is coming from

[lofty igloo]

not smoking

[lucid ocean]

Lol, sorry

[low pumice]

Well, some MSI laptops do have bad thermals, what do you mean by "extra fan" though?

[lofty igloo]

well theres a regular internal and then i push a button for more fan

[lucid ocean]

My bad, looked at a post from earlier lol

[lofty igloo]

I am, what my son calls, technologically challenged.
I'm an end user, don't understand the technical side at all

[low pumice]

That's alright, do you have any software to monitor temperature with right now?

[lofty igloo]

not that I know of

[low pumice]

Hwinfo64 is a good software for monitoring components, download link is here, you'll want the Installer from Fosshub.
https://www.hwinfo.com/download/

[lofty igloo]

thank you, but should this be happening with a brand new computer?

[lucid ocean]

It is an MSI laptop...

[low pumice]

Well, it's better to figure out what is actually happening, before making any assumptions

To make sure overheating is the issue, it's good to check the temperature via software.

[lofty igloo]

okay

[low pumice]

Some other possibilities could be windows being weird, software being weird, out of date drivers, etc.

[lofty igloo]

new old computer was a msi and no issues for the 4 yrs I had it. my cousin bought the same one I have a few months ago and no issues.
that's why I'm so confused

[lucid ocean]

Unlike Mr1111, I’ve no clue what I’m talking about. But usually, msi laptops should come with a ‘hub’ software pre-installed.

[low pumice]

Dragon Center I believe

[lucid ocean]

Is there any such msi branded software already on the computer?

[low pumice]

But I personally hate it, fan curves never work well for me, frequency&voltage never work, etc.

I'd at least figure out if the heat is the issue first

[lucid ocean]

If so, you’ll want to open that and run a driver + updates chceck

Chances are, it’s something to do with first party drivers not behaving with temperature monitors and such

[low pumice]

There's a bunch of things that should probably be done imo, like sfc scan, gpu drivers, windows update/rollback, but I'd try to see if thermals are the issue first

Software gets messy, you can never really be sure what's wrong with software, but hardware tends to be less confusing :P

[lofty igloo]

I understood about 2% of that 🙂

[lucid ocean]

Ok, real simple: Is there a software called dragon center on the computer?

[lofty igloo]

I installed the program you recommended Mr1111
but what does any of it mean

I do have a dragon thinger

[low pumice]

On startup of hwinfo64, can you check "sensors only"?

A nice thing about hwinfo64 is that it'll have this nice section with the CPU temps that tells you if any cores are currently thermal throttling, or were thermal throttling since you opened the program.

[lofty igloo]

I get a warning screen

[low pumice]

Is it possible to DM me a screenshot?

[topaz blaze]

guys

I have a problem on my laptop

the problem is my laptop gets hot

in an hour

can I do anything about this

[low pumice]

If you're willing to spend some money, a laptop cooling pad can be a good investment.

[topaz blaze]

thanks

[topaz blaze]

best budget watercooler?

[swift pumice]

Imagine thermal throttling

[covert apex]

EK has cheap but good AIOs.

So does Arctic.

[low pumice]

@swift pumice imagine not having 8350u and holding world records on hwbot

[swift pumice]

Cool cpu 😎

[low pumice]

70c cool enough for me

[swift pumice]

-70c is enough for me as well

[low pumice]

yes

[lament fractal]

hey guys Im having a problem with my fans, theres 3 of them connected to a lighting node pro, they all spin up but only one of the fans lights up. I checked the node and hub, everything seems to be plugged in. These are fairly new, maybe like 3 months old by now, any tips?

[dusk loom]

budget water cooling sucks

just get a good air cooler for around the same price, you will probably get better performance and less trouble

if you compare a "budget" water cooler with an air cooler of around the same price the temps will be very similar (2 degrees difference) or better on the air cooler side.

And besides, an air cooler needs no maintenance and is a lot more reliable since water coolers can have leaks and such.

[dusk loom]

You sure they are all plugged in correctly?

Test them by plugging each individually to the power supply adn see if they light up there

If they don't the led is dead

[plush coral]

Hello Can i use Arctic P12 as nt exhaust FAN

my*

i mean should I

[covert apex]

Sure

They are pretty nice fans

Great budget fans

[plush coral]

my case airflow is not that good so wanted an opinion

i was also thinking of getting them as my intake

[supple furnace]

My corsair h100i platinium fan Rgb no work 😥 help me please

[covert apex]

Is it plugged in correctly?

Make sure the fans are not at 0% or turned off in BIOS/Software

[fierce parcel]

does anyone have a good guide to watercooling a GPU/CPU? Looking into the cost if it would be worth it

[knotty eagle]

Like, a full loop or AIO?

[fierce parcel]

leaning more towards Full loop

[covert apex]

What CPU and GPU do you have

[fierce parcel]

CPU is 5600x, and 3080 FE

[covert apex]

It's not worth watercooling that CPU

especially custom loop

[fierce parcel]

mainly for the GPU though

[covert apex]

What case do you have?

[fierce parcel]

Right thats I was thinking, but didn't know if it would be worth it to just add it since I would already be doing the GPU

let me look up exact model of case. Corsair Airflow but cant remember exact

[covert apex]

Are you having cooling problems with your GPU?

4000d?

[fierce parcel]

275R

[covert apex]

You could do a custom loop in it, but in my opinion its not really worth it just for the GPU only

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU2KvawDP10

Here is a guide though, it may be a bit old.

[tired fog]

ek also has a configurator, you could get started with that

[fierce parcel]

OK thank you. That kind of what I was thinking, but thought it was worth looking into. I think I would probably upgrade CPU first instead of spending that much on parts for a loop

[tired fog]

https://www.ekwb.com/custom-loop-configurator/

[covert apex]

Yeah that sounds like a better idea

[knotty sparrow]

Yeah custom loops get very expensive and are typically only worth it for high end parts

[covert apex]

Personally, I would not custom loop a mainstream CPU, only HEDT.

[knotty sparrow]

Interesting. I'd do a custom loop for a 5950X or a 10900k at least.

[tired fog]

custom loops can also be made to give a nice industrial look, if you're looking into that aesthetic

[covert apex]

I only go Noctua coolers and fans for my builds, but thats just me

[fierce parcel]

thanks for everyones help and input!

[worn loom]

Hey yall recently my corsair h100i rgb platnium just stopped working, looking to replace it with a nzxt z63 280mm aio cooler and im just wondering if its a good idea to replace the nzxt fans with the corsair ml120 pro fans just to complete that rgb look

[dusky bronze]

Hey guys im using FS9002 (asiahorse) and theyve worked great these pasted couple of months but out of nowhere the rgb on them dont work not even flickers, i already changed the hub to a different one with a new controller but still no rgb response but they are still spinning but for some reason when i try to select a color on the controller it reduces the speed of the fans or makes it faster

[covert apex]

Get a EK AIO or a Arctic AIO

[proven solstice]

how long have you had it for?

[worn loom]

I bought in november of last year ago but i installed it last month, i installed windows and everything seemed normal but temperatures was through the roof in the bios screen and the corsair logo turned red and everything turned off

I didnt know what was wrong with it since it was my first time using these types of cooler so i sent it to a computer electronics store for repairs and they just called me that it doesnt work and water isnt running through the pipes

[knotty sparrow]

RMA it, it's under warrranty if the pump failed

[worn loom]

Oh good

[magic sparrow]

@fierce parcel would cost about $330 for a full loop, $220 for GPU only
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000807277229.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.846036benAy4WR

Bykski is quite decent tbf

so is Barrow

[covert apex]

Gross

[atomic jetty]

Yeah that sounds like pump not working

Corsair aios do that turn red and shut off thing when the coolant gets too hot

[worn loom]

Yea im just wondering if i could use the fans from that cooler on the nzxt z63 aio

[knotty sparrow]

You could in theory. It's all pretty much standardized, so as long as it's the same size fan it should fit.

[worn loom]

Phew thats to good hear thank you very much

[raw garden]

Is 5800x with 240mm AIO Corsair Capellix enough ?

[vivid citrus]

probably

[knotty sparrow]

Yeah a 240 should be good, but you'll want a 360 if you plan on doing major overclocking. Light overclocking a 240 can handle a 105 Watt unit.

[raw garden]

Ah, sounds good, light overclocking is probably the spot for me. And thanks

[atomic jetty]

I have a 3700X on that cooler and it's super gucci

[raw garden]

I bet it is !

[frosty shuttle]

Should I get the RGB 212 Cooler Master for my i5 processor?

[dawn hawk]

no

[magic scarab]

Absolutely not

[low pumice]

It's the same thing

except one fan has rgb

[twilit abyss]

and its black

[low pumice]

afaik it's the same fan really

[shrewd sparrow]

@low pumice should I get an aio

[low pumice]

no

well

maybe ek-aio or galahad

other aios no

[shrewd sparrow]

I need help choosing out an cooler

[low pumice]

what was the CPU?

[shrewd sparrow]

No attic

5900x

No attic freezer ??

I want best performance

That’s all

[low pumice]

Freezer ii, ek-aio, galahad

those are the top 3 in terms of performance

[shrewd sparrow]

Which one from those 3 is the best

I have 011

[low pumice]

within margin of error

[shrewd sparrow]

Case

[low pumice]

so it's hard to measure performance that's so close together

[shrewd sparrow]

So any

For. Those 3

[low pumice]

Yes, whichever looks the nicest for you

[shrewd sparrow]

I need 360

Ok thx

[twilit abyss]

they all have 360 options i beleive

[shrewd sparrow]

Ok

Which one would I choose

[twilit abyss]

arctic II is generally seen as the best performer, but ek and galahad are veeery close

to the point where it really does just come down to looks

[shrewd sparrow]

Ok

Which one looks good on white ll fans

Corsair

[twilit abyss]

i think the galahad has a white option

[shrewd sparrow]

But I have black case

me white fans

With

[low pumice]

why do you say white ll fans then

[shrewd sparrow]

??

Idk

[twilit abyss]

wot

[shrewd sparrow]

Came in my mind so I just said that

[low pumice]

so are you just using normal black ll fans

or white ll fans

[shrewd sparrow]

No white ones

White ll fans

Not black

So should I get an black aio

Wait @low pumice does lian li one have weak contact

[low pumice]

what

[shrewd sparrow]

Does the lian li aio have weak contact

According to gamer nexus

??

@low pumice

[cold island]

the mounting pressure? or the coldplate contact

[shrewd sparrow]

Both??

[low pumice]

Mounting pressure is slightly lacking, but it's not horrible

coldplate evenness is great

[shrewd sparrow]

What about on the ek

[low pumice]

GN didn't do pressure testing on any aio other than the galahad yet afaik

[shrewd sparrow]

Oh

Ok

I guess I will have to more research on which one I want

[low pumice]

they do coldplate levelness but yea

[hallow egret]

Am I right to think this is a cooler master hyper?

[knotty eagle]

What CPU and socket?

[hallow egret]

Am3+ fx 4350

On a asus m5a78L-m

I also have no clue what my ram is but its completely nondescript other than being a 2x4gb

[knotty eagle]

Yeah, that's the FX coolermaster CPU cooler

Stock AM3 cooler

came with CPU

[magic scarab]

Pretty chonky

Wonder how it would hold up today on AM4

[knotty eagle]

Probs just as well as the stock AM4 cooler

[knotty sparrow]

They weren't great to begin with on those 125 W chips

[hallow egret]

Its a loud loudddd cooler

I'm hoping to sell the whole pc for 200 😬

[magic scarab]

Probably doable

Someone could probs run a MC server off that

[hallow egret]

I did that once

I'm gonna advertise it locally / regionally as a fortnite / minecraft / csgo pc

It needs a clean overall tho

[knotty sparrow]

For a minecraft server I got a Xeon from like 2012 that has 8 HT cores and a cheapo GPU in it for about $200

[hallow egret]

Its 750 ti is still good ngl

I used to get 300 frames on csgo and over 100 on gta5

[knotty sparrow]

Yeah not too bad, I'm just saying for a server I got a cheaper GPU to have more in budget for CPU

[knotty eagle]

Server doesn't need a GPU anyway TBH

Purely for video out to see what's on the screen

[knotty sparrow]

Xeon server that doesn't have integrated graphics needs one, at least for the desktop. And that's what it has.

[knotty eagle]

Yup

I had a headless ARCH server for a few years

[dawn hawk]

lol does urs not have the matrox goodness

[knotty eagle]

Only had a GPU in it to set it up

[dawn hawk]

and why the hell do u need a gui

its a server

there are like 10 gpus in all of lililabs

[knotty sparrow]

Yeah I know I don't "need" a gui but it's nice to have one. I'm perfectly comfortable on command line.

[dawn hawk]

what server tho

curious

lililabs runs entirely on

at least our servers do

[knotty sparrow]

HP Z420
Old Windows 7 era

[dawn hawk]

some of our ryzen instances run just normal consumer cause duh

ryzen

lol

ohhhhh not an actual server

just workstation

now i see why u need gpu lul

[knotty sparrow]

Yeah a workstation repurposed to be a server, not a real rack server

[dawn hawk]

most servers have enough gpu power to do like

text output lol

also hp

HPE has made like 1 good thing

the microserver is hella cute

everything else GRONSE

[knotty sparrow]

Yeah but for a Minecraft/media server brand doesn't matter much

And this is really getting off topic for the cooling channel

[dawn hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/community-ken-jeong-ben-chang-ill-allow-it-allowed-gif-4468552

whats host os?

[knotty sparrow]

Red hat

With a gui lol

[dawn hawk]

oooh fancy

all my babies run deb

i mean my hosts run RHEL/Solus

but

actual vms run debian and ubuntu lul

my mc server is currently getting moderately slammed

f

[knotty sparrow]

"moderately" lol
Looks like you could use some Xeon goodness too

[dawn hawk]

nah

this is a lililabs ryzen instance

3 cores and 3gb ram running on NVME

host cpu is 3900x

we also do xeon hosting but we use older cpus there

[knotty sparrow]

Xeons hold their value pretty well

[dawn hawk]

not rly lol

u can get most for like sub 100

for the v2 and below

which is all u need

99% of the time

[knotty sparrow]

Compared to desktop processors, they do

[dawn hawk]

not at all lol

$3k cpus are going for like $50 now

and meanwhile $300 desktop chips are like $150

[knotty sparrow]

Alright you win lol

[low pumice]

They hold their value in cores

not in monies

[dawn hawk]

^^^^^^^

most lililabs users dont ask for any more cpu power

if anyone is interested what our nodes are running though

Dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 V2’s
256 GB RAM
8x 2 TB Samsung 860 PRO SSD’s
LSI Hardware RAID10 w/ CVM

per node :))

so like 40ish threads per node

[lucid hawk]

is lililabs your datacenter

have i posted my datacenter here before

[dawn hawk]

lililabs is my company yeah

we do webhosting and other cool stuff

[lucid hawk]

very cool

my personal server runs on dual xeon e5 2683v4 engineering samples

[dawn hawk]

ooo fun

[lucid hawk]

have you seen me and my roommates laundry room datacenter

[dawn hawk]

my personals are just lots of lililabs instances

and no show

[dawn hawk]

LMAOOOO

[lucid hawk]

it gets worse

behold

"kuiper"

a bunch of hp thin clients

in milk crates

just kind of sits in the living room

[dawn hawk]

i love it

lililabs WISHES it could be this good

[lucid hawk]

this is how it all began

[dawn hawk]

thiccies

[knotty sparrow]

The #building-and-recc-chat channel is best for this. Plenty of people love to help with builds.

[inner forge]

Thx thx

[vestal skiff]

Assuning they are basically the same price where I am, which one is the better cooler, first in noise, then in preformace. Arctic Freezer Esports DUO, or bequiet! Dark Rock 4

[twilit abyss]

prolly the dr4

[knotty eagle]

Those are certainly not the 5 best coolers

I dislike that website

[velvet rain]

hmm

why is the 212 on there

liquid freezer and d15 i understand

[knotty eagle]

The ID Cooling SSE224XT is cheaper than the 212 and performs better

That website just picks random stuff and calls it the best

The 212 shouldn't be used witha 5800x either

I mean, it's better than say the stock Wraith AMD or Intel stock cooler

but should only be used on low-mid range CPU's
