Hi all, I just installed my H50 last night and I'm having a little issue with it.
I installed the cooler with the radiator in an exhaust fashion with the supplied fan, as well as a silenx fan in a push pull config. My case has fairly good airflow, so no porblems there with this setup. I removed the stock TIM and replaced with AS5. Turned on the machine and my temps were the exact same as stock, about 35-40c on idle, and 80c on load. Hrmmm...
I'm not an entire newb, so I thought there might have been an installation error on my part. My first guess (which was the right one), was that I put too little AS5, and only the edges of the CPU were being contacted. Luckily I picked this up pretty quick (within a few minutes after full load I shut down).
Took it apart, and applied the right amount of AS5, reinstalled and it worked like it should. Temps dropped to 27-29c idle, and hovering around 60c on load (P95 torture).
So here's the problem: Even though the temps are fine, and the cooler is working like it should, I cannot finish prime without the computer shutting down completely. It runs for an hr or so, and the comp shuts down. During prime, the CPU never gets over 60c and according to CPU-Z the vcore goes up to about 1.1ish almost 1.2 on occasion. I don't know if it BSODs first then shuts down because I left it on before I went to bed, and when I woke up it was shut off. In the morning before work, I decided to try it again, loaded up prime, and left the house. I just called my brother (who is at home) and he says the comp is now shut off as well. Arghhh!!!
So why does it shut down? Everything is stock, no OC whatsoever and everything in bios is on auto. Prior to the H50, it was running stock HSF and it did prime flawlessly for 12 hrs straight, with the exact same settings all stock and auto.
Please help :-(
