2K Spec Check - I'm here to learn!


When idle the temps is sticking around 20's. This was part of a reply early on to this thread:

Coolers make a big difference to temps and noise. The stock coolers will probably (allow the CPU to) hit 80C during load easily. The one stupid specced would probably only get to 60C (at stock clocks) and with less noise. At 80c the stock cooler is quite loud.

Does this mean my cooler isn't working as intended by reaching 75 and should be performing better? :confused: either way I'm guessing 75 is still pretty good.
 
Get some pics up so that we can rip your cable management skills to bits :p:D

Go ahead then :D

I don't think I did too badly! The wires for the fans I couldn't route around the back as they didn't seem long enough.
 
Ok so I hope somebody can help me.

PC runs fine, I sometimes randomly get freezes (only happened around 3 times, not on all games either. Twice on WoW and once on HoTS) which sort themselves out within a minute or so. this hasn't happened very often though. Seems to be only when I'm gaming too, my friend told me he had issues with freezing too but that was something due to the volts for the GPU or something.

Note that my CPU auto overclocks itself to 4.4 and my GPU also overclocks itself.

My other issue is my Toshiba HardDrive. Sometimes it just seems to randomly make a loud chirp. I removed my BR player as I thought maybe that it was malfunctioning due to being years old. The problem still remained though. The sound comes from near the front of the case, my SSD is around the back of the case and the only things around that area are the HD which was in the section below the BluRay player.

Is there any programs I can run to see if the drive has any issues?
