    Radiator cleaning

    Hey all, Need help. Got myself some 360mm radiators for my build that I was planning to paint white, but I can’t get them past the cleaning stage. They’re about 8 - 9 months old, been sitting dry for about 2 months. I’ve tried using deionised water (about 10 litres so far), tried using vinegar...

    Ideal cooler for R7 5800X (3D rendering)

    I've been using Keyshot 10 for rendering and I've noticed the CPU reaches high temps (85+ C)and begins to thermal throttle to around 4.4 GHz. Usually it boosts to around 4.8 in tasks that don't utilise all cores. I'm using a Noctua NH-U14S, it handled rendering fine on my last chip (I5 4670K)...

    Maximising The Life of Your GPU/Pad + Paste Replacement

    Hi guys, I need some of your wisdom. Im planning on buying a brand new 3070 once prices are reasonable and I want to maximise its lifespan. I know the cooler you can keep your system the longer the components tend to last. (In regards to the case, I have one with superb airflow [Phanteks...

    NH-L9i on Optiplex micro

    Does anyone know if I could fit just the cooler of a NH-L9i to replace the tiny fan included?

    Upgrading fan on Dell Optiplex Micro

    I would like to upgrade the very loud fan included in these little devices. Unfortunately there is little room for one, but most worrying is the proprietary fan connector. It seems a Noctua NF-A6x25 could fit, which definitely would be a good upgrade. Has anyone managed to upgrade the fan...

    CPU fan in exhaust mode?

    So I've recently finished my new rig and went from full-atx to mini-itx. The only concern I have with my build is that the fan of my Noctua NH-U12S CPU cooler does not have enough clearance from my corsair 2x16GB RAM on the motherboard. If I try to install the fan as an intake, it pushes the RAM...

    Help with RGB Addressable CPU cooler and fans

    Hi Just picked up the Tecware Forge M case which includes Tecware Orbis RGB fans and controller. I'm thinking of getting an aerocool mirage CPU cooler however I would like to know if I can connect the CPU cooler to the Orbis RGB controller to link everything together. I have only one slot for...

    Is my old (2012) CPU likely bottlenecking my more modern (2017) GPU in video editing/rendering?

    I'm still rocking a Core i5 3470K that I bought in 2012. I don't really need to have the newest most powerful gaming system any more as I now use Shadow cloud gaming service for that, but I wanted a little extra power for editing 4K video which I do a lot. To this end, I decided to upgrade my...

    Anyone got experience with the EKWB 3080 FE waterblock?

    Hi Guys Some of you may be aware memory over heating issue on 3090s and 3080s due to memory placement at the back of the PCB. These are usually cooled by the backplate, which is not sufficient when graphics card is stressed during benchmarks such as Furmark or Cuda work(The memory easily reach...

    Fans not working

    Hi guys, Today i have connected my fans to the motherboard. Ive got 1 140mm PWM (4pin) and 4 120mm standards(3pins). Ive connected them to my headers that are named RAD_FAN which are the only ones on the board ( Maximus Extreme XII) apart from water pump headers. When i rebooted and opened fan...

    Custom Laptop Cooling Tray.

    Ok, so I've been looking at laptop coolers for a while as I'm thinking of getting a gaming laptop. General opinion is you can shave up to 5 degrees on temps, but when you're running fans from a 5v USB you aren't going to get much airflow. Which is fairly understandable, even more so if you...

    Best 120mm fans

    Looking for suggestions for 120mm fans, two for top mounted corsair 240mm AIO and one as intake at the bottom of the case (Raijintek ophion evo). Noise is a primary factor for me so the quieter the better. Obviously the go to is noctua nf-a12x25 pwm, but I can't find them anywhere for the...

    Controlling RGB AIO fans through CPU FAN/OPT and rgb hub?

    Hi, I'm really stuck and have done lots of research but still not found a solution. I have just bought a 240mm AIO cooler which has the pump built into the radiator and is SATA powered. It comes with RGB fans which can be either plugged into an RGB header on the mobo or it can be used on an RGB...

    Best case airflow for EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 24GB FTW3 ULTRA GAMING

    Hi guys, I've just got the EVGA 3090 and it's producing a ton of heat compared to my 1080ti. This was to be expected but I wanted to check that I have my case airflow correctly setup. My previous 1080ti was a founders edition with a fan blower design so my case setup did fine, but with this...

    NH-D15 + 3900X

    I switched from an AIO which gave me nothing but trouble (Kraken Z73) to the best air cooler I could get: Noctua NH-D15. I knew that going from a 360mm AIO to an air cooler would cost me some temperatures. My case is not optimal for airflow (Fractal Define R7, top closed, front door closed)...

    Are my temps ok?

    Not sure how good my temps should be with my setup. Currently my CPU idles around 36-37 Celsius, and my GPU at 34-35. Under load my CPU reaches 50-55 Celsius, and my GPU reaches 65 Celsius. You can see in the image all of the other components. My room temperature is 23 Celsius and the...
