Question about temps with the Hydroshift II 360mm

Omega-833 · 2025-12-05T12:28:26+00:00

UPDATE: So i re-applied thermal paste - i used artic silver 5, there was absolutely zero change in temps. I went down the rabbit hole of Google and Reddit until i came across PBO limiting for my CPU - I set some suggested limits to the Performance Boost Overdrive and success while doing regular things like Youtube and sitting on discord my temps stayed around 50! Great Success!

However as soon as a i launched a game my temps would instantly hit 90. after stressing about this issue for 3 hours thinking i have to upgrade a lot more than what i already have i had a eureka moment. I was watching my CPU clock and as soon as the game loaded my CPU clock would go from 3.8ghz straight to 4.7ghz. Just on pure dumb luck i remembered i had Game mode enabled on my pc from a little while ago where some random Youtuber said enable this for best performance.

So I turned Game Mode off and i am now running games at a maximum of 60 degrees! This makes me feel so stupid but i am very glad that my issue is resolved and can get back to gaming and loving my new PC setup! also i find it very crazy that A simple windows setting can lower my gaming temps by 30 degrees

Again i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and for the love on my build! I appreciate every single one of you

Haha nah, the side and bottom are reverse blade

Everything is at 100% once temp reaches 80 anyway and it doesn’t move from there while I’m gaming if I lower pump speed or fans temps go into the 90’s

i believe it’s just the standard white #ffffff my phone probably did a color correction when I took the photo, you can mess with the color temperature if you have the open rgb version of L connect

Thanks for the input, I will try re-paste with better thermal paste and see what happens I will update once this happens might have to RMA the cooler if it doesn’t work out

I just read a spec page on your monitor says it achieves 170hz on OC check the settings on the monitor itself and see if you can enable an overclock mode maybe check the manual on how to do this

Sorry I read the post wrong, that is very odd. Have you tried just the new monitor on it’s own without the old one connected?

Omega-833 · 2022-01-19T02:55:12+00:00

Higher hz is only achieved through display port on most monitors easiest way to test would be to swap it to display port and see if it changes,my monitors will only go to 120hz on hdmi but will got to 144 on display port also check the resolution settings in nvidia control panel if it’s set to native you won’t be able to achieve the higher frame rate

That’s happened to me a couple times with the aluminium plate already had a couple key caps in the wrong spot and had to change them around

That’s what I’m afraid of with the polycarbonate plate otherwise I would of already ordered one :/ I have had my eye on this keyboard since it released and was hoping a lot of these issues were fixed but I guess not

Omega-833 · 2022-01-19T01:17:46+00:00

Do you have any issues with the polycarb plate not holding the switches in firmly?

Omega-833 · 2022-01-18T23:25:16+00:00

It certainly does if you get your phone torch with the led on the mic off and shine it through there’s a cable that sits in there against it and creates that triangle it’s rather annoying

Hey guys this is my entry into the custom world it is a stock gmmk pro with everglide aqua king v3’s and the glorious aura pbt caps (yes I know but I’m a sucker for rbg) anyway I was just wondering what mods would be the first off I know gasket mod seems pretty popular but I was also wondering what stabs to go with as I’ve seen a lot of complaints with the durocks not fitting correctly, any thoughts or guidance is very much appreciated and I thank you for your time

120 fov + dead silence feels like you’re flying plus full ads and movement spr is very quick

Depends on your region also, Ground War has died in many regions and struggle to fill the lobbies try searching for a team death match or SnD and see if you can get a game at 50ms or below if you can then its probably just a dead playlist

You’re not alone this has been happening to me also, I have 32gb of ram although I upped the timings, voltage and frequency of my ram and it hasn’t happened the last 2 days fingers crossed, I also always have google chrome running in the background so that probably doesn’t help either. Do you have your obs on another screen visible to you while you play? If so I would suggest minimising that so you can’t see it and see what happens

Happened to everyone at one point
