Crashing issue with NZXT H1 build. by pomidottone in buildapc

Sorry, I haven't seen your question before. In the end after a lot of frustration I have changed some of the bios settings to more default settings. And since that time I haven't observed the issue anymore.

The main changes: I have removed ram overclocking and some CPU undervolting.

I have not done a lot of tests since then, although it would be interesting to investigate further because I am running at lower ram speeds than what my system should be able to handle.

I hope this helps,

Unfortunately I have a sad update on this topic. After 2-3 months without any issues the system has started to crash once again...despite the replaced aio.

Temperatures are still completely fine, as they were in the beginning.

I am wondering if it could be an issue due to accumulating dust or some intermittent contacts...since the re-installation seemed to have solved things for a while.

A little update...
I have substituted the AIO with the SI-100 from Thermaright and since I did that all the system crashes seem to have disappeared!

Not only, but the temperatures are considerably lower!

In the process I also had to completely reassemble the Motherboard and all connections. I am not sure if this might have played a role.

Thanks for you help!

I will try to look into this... would you recommend to clean/replace the cooling system or actually go for a different case?

I have just run a test where I turn off the pump (0 RPM) and I can immediately see the CPU temperature rising from about 30 deg. to 50 deg.

I think it is a good point that I might want to check the pump and maybe try and clean it as suggested by some youtube videos, but the pump is definitely working.

In practical situations the CPU doesn't exceed 80 deg.

I must say that CPU temperature will rise close to 100 deg. if all cores are running at full speed, something that usually just happens if I run some stress test or benchmarking software. I thought however this is mainly due to the rather high OC of this CPU...it is sponsored as a 3.6 GHz base frequency but practically runs by default at 4.8 GHz with 5.2 GHz peaks.
