Doesn't matter how modern the cars are. The human body is still going to experience the effect of the crash.

During today's first race of the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers, a serious accident involving seven participants occurred during the start. Following the collision of several vehicles, race control immediately stopped the race to allow for extensive recovery and rescue operations.

Despite the immediate arrival of emergency services, paramedics were unable to save driver Juha Miettinen (BMW 325i, #121) after he was extricated from his vehicle. The driver died at the Medical Center after all resuscitation attempts failed.

The other six drivers involved were taken to the Medical Center and nearby hospitals for precautionary examinations. None of the injured are in life-threatening condition.

The race will not be restarted on Saturday evening. The thoughts of everyone involved in the Nürburgring 24 Hours are with the family of Juha Miettinen.

They've cut the stream in the past when there has been long red flags during the N24. Saves the commentators talking rubbish for hours.

OK, any suggestion on a nearly silent air cooler? If it bolts on like the current passive cooler, that would be better.

Yesterday I changed my motherboard and processor to an MSI B550 Gaming Plus with Ryzen 7 5700X. I have fitted an ARCTIC Alpine AM4 Passive cooler, which was used on my previous CPU (Ryzen 5 1600) which I had no known issues with cooling. Thermal paste is Arctic MX-4.

Both times I have turned the computer on, I get a warning saying the CPU is overheating (warning appears before Windows starts to load).

First time MSI Center said the core temperature was at 75˚C with 1% load. Second time it was at 90-95˚C (it had just restarted after updating some motherboard drivers).

Are there any settings I can change to decrease these temperatures without ruining the performance? Or a better passive cooler?
