cooling

I wanted opinions as to whether or not I needed any additional fans for my current setup. My hardware is as follows: CPU - Intel Core i7-12700K Alder Lake (12th gen) Cooler - Noctua NH-D15S Case - Corsair 750D Airflow Edition GPU - Asus ROG STRIX 3090 Fans - 2 front intake fans : CORSAIR ML140...

I've modded both my Samsung Odyssey + and HP Reverb G2 with air flow. I seem to have the ability to fog up a display (despite not being a hot/sweaty type) and also get nauseous very quickly when I have no air flow. Anyone else suffered and or made a comfort fix to a HMD and if so how did you...

i see thicc radiators but, they all have low fin count. are there thick 120mm rads with finer fins?

I have a new computer case, but I have a problem with the fan connected above the HDD slot in the picture below. Do I need to put air in or out? Will it affect the video card if it draws hot air from the HDD slot into the video card? case is Thermaltake versa n24.

I just built a new PC around the i9-10850K CPU. Motherboard is ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XII HERO Intel Z490. Cooler is the famous EVO 212, single fan version, but with a 2nd Noctua fan added. Nice fan BTW for $20. I have another (cheap) 120mm case fan right "upwind" of the CPU, on the back of the case...

I’ve got two headers for CPU fans on my motherboard but a Y-splitter will be included when my new cooler arrives. Would both fans be treated as one if I used the splitter or would I need to use the two separate headers to control each fan individually?

Here are some pics of the case: It supports 3 frontal fans(12cm), 1 rear(8cm) and allegedly a top one, though I'm not sure on how to install it since I see no holes. This case has poor airflow and my GPU is suffering. If I didn't want to change cases, how would I go about modifying it to...

Hi All, preface: I have all my server gear and network placed in my house in an around 1.8m2 (~20sqft) room, district heating enters the same room and therefor adds more heat in the winter time but more or less no heat in the summer as we dont have the heating turned on beside heating water...

Hello, I am looking for a new cooler as my cooler that I have right now is not doing the job. My cpu is OC @ 5GHZ @ 1.3 volts and temps when benchmarking are 95+ degrees. At idle it's anywhere from 55-60 degrees. The cooler that I have right now is the H115i pro platinum from Corsair. Will a...

Hey guys ! I am a student at the University of Technology in Delft. Together with a group of fellow students and researchers we are investigating a new concept of liquid cooling which seems be very useful for the cooling of ICT components and computers. It works pretty much the same as water...

I've been asked to supervise / sanity check a build for a friend who's building a Zen 2 box. Would a be quiet! Dark Rock 4 be sufficient to cool a 3900x with PBO enabled? It wasn't quite up to the task of keeping my 7940x from throttling under sustained load, but I'm hoping it can deal with...

Hello, I am assembling new PC. I have a choice between i5-9600 Tray (does not come in a box and without, just a CPU, no stock cooler) and AMD Ryzen 5 3600 boxed. There is a $20 difference between them so I am more likely to go with i5-9600KF but since it requires cooler, I will pay a bit more...

I own a couple of 1882 Areca cards. Most of them are working fine. I would like to replace the fans of all of them, starting with a 1882-8i. I have removed the fan and the squared metal. I have bought a Noctua 40mm (10mm height). This one doesn't really fit on to the squared metal, but okee i...

Hey Everyone. I am currently trying to make a new build inside a Silverstone FTZ01B-E case with the new Ryzen 5 3600. The case has a 83 mm clearance for the CPU cooler. I did run into a problem what cooling option from Noctua should I choose to make the whole configuration quiet and low on...

Thanks to its remarkable thermal performance, liquid metal TIM is a favorite among high end desktop PC builders who aren't turned away by the somewhat daunting application process. But Overclocked Inside points out that liquid metal TIM can give laptops a huge boost as well, as their CPUs and...

Hello my sweet princes! My Ncase is currently on it's way to a country superior to yours (Canada, of course). In the meantime, I'm planning the build... So, here are my questions. 1.Does an open-air GPU manage to keep reasonable temperature? a) If I add two 120mm fans to the bottom of the...

Good Day, I just finished putting together a new build and I feel a little disappointment with my liquid cooling system: Thermaltake Floe Triple Riing RGB 360 TT I have an open case which sits on my desk Thermaltake P3 and the pump is the loudest component in my PC when GPU is idle. The pump...

Samsung first introduced a water-based cooling system in the Galaxy S7, and just announced a much improved version that will ship in the Galaxy Note 9. The system features a porous, water filled cavity that carries heat away from the SOC using carbon fiber as a highly efficient TIM. In the...

Hey guys (and gals)!! First timer here at hard forums, and I just had a few questions and I was hoping to run into someone who has experience. It seems that the customary thing to do is list specs (Sry I think I've only ever posted a handful of times in my life) so here they are: - I5 8600k @...

You might have noticed our excitement about AMD's Threadripper over the last year, both in terms of performance and cooling. Given that AMD will soon be rolling out its 32-Core 2990X processor, we have been getting things in line for it in terms of overclocking and cooling. We have two more...

As the title says I did the (probably big) mistake of buying 2 x Supermicro SC825 TQ-R740LPB 2U chassis. One at the moment is equipped with a X9DR3-F (one socket not working, I will probably need to check for bent pins) and the other with a X9DR3-LN4F+ (both sockets working). Both boards are...

I recently had an LSI 9211 SAS card die on me and i'm fairly sure it's because cooling was inadequate. Despite the whole internet telling me they need decent airflow, I decided to chance it in a tiny case (U-NAS NSC-800) with limited airflow. So while a replacement (LSI 9207-8i) is en route, i'm...

I'm running dual XFX R9 290x (R9-290X-EDFD) cards on a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 Rev 3.0 mobo. The two cards are currently air cooled and slotted in the PCIe 2.0 16x slots on the board. I am planning on upgrading the cooling on these cards using 2 Corsair H55 closed loop coolers and 2 NZXT G12...

I can find a lot info about the Noctua NH-D15(S) in combination with the 8700k, but none with the Noctua NH-U14S. Do you guys think that my Noctua NH-U14S will be sufficiënt if I want to overclock the 8700k say to a modest 4.8ghz? Is the Noctua NH-U14S compatible with socket 1151?

I'm thinking about upgrading to the 8700k and hoping to clock it to 5ghz to make it even more worthwhile. In the past I’ve used air coolers exclusively for every build and hesitated going AIO solutions mainly due to being a little unfamiliar with them, but this time I might actually switch over...
