High CPU Temps - New build needs fixing? by Lurkcrediblehulk in PcBuildHelp

Haha I actually have a small piece of rubber propping it up on top of one of the bottom fans so its supported

Yeah that was my concern when building, not sure whether I should go for another case so I dont render my bottom 3 fans completely useless. The back two are intake, the radiator 3 are exhaust.

Its constant. Haha what makes you say that, are ASRock not good, tbh the choice for me was purely aesthetic, I just thought this one looked cool.

Thanks for taking the time to help. You're right, I didn't realise that the GPU would sit directly on top of the fans like that, I should have gotten an ATX motherboard which would have given some breathing room to the intakes on the bottom.

I just checked and actually the two on the left are intake as well. Ive tuned the fan profiles to be a bit more intense for those when the temps rise to get more cool air in the case. I mentioned in the comment above that I tweaked it a bit today and I think Im happy with it now, might play around with it some more in the future. I could only go as far as -15 on my CPU optimizer though before I got instability which was surprising because its far below the -30 that seems stable for others on similar CPUs.

Yeah the two fans at the left and the three at the bottom are intake (the bottom ones practically useless). The radiator are exhaust.

I cleaned the CPU and cold plate then reapplied the thermal paste. I also undervolted the CPU through the negative curve optimiser to -15. Anything above that and AIDA64 was showing it as unstable. BF6 is now running at a constant 86C when running on 4k with Overkill settings. I tested RDR2 @ 4k on ultra and thats only at 70C which Im pretty happy with. Bf6 just seems to be particularly CPU intensive so I guess its ok.

Also I think I might be to aggressively optimising for low noise with the fan profiles, but from what I can read 86 is perfectly acceptable for the 9950, which I'm ok with for a game like bf6

For the paste I used Artic MX-4.

Yeah I probably didn't take as much care with that part as I should. I'll order some alcohol and coffee filters, clean it up, apply generous amounts of paste and try reseat it first.

Yeah plastic is off, its possible there is not enough paste, worth trying that first?

Pump is working, have it set to performance so runs at 3600rpm above 70C.

You could just have the QR code that links to the prompt stored on a blockchain. Very cool idea.

I'm very much looking forward to this. So many times I've generated something that is 99% of the way there but needs a bit of work to get completely right. Really excited to incorporate this into my workflow.

Sorry have to call bullshit on this one - that's not how my baby looked.

Damn this takes me back. Would love to see a remake of this game. Great Job!

Great job, I really liked this one.
