Re: Official "I want to build a New PC!" Thread

Anybody here explored 21:9 gaming?



Cooler Master 212 seems to be solid all-around cooler for roughly $30 that fits a number of sockets. I run one in my PC and my parents, and I believe a few other guys like trob vouch for it.

I've oogled the 34" 21:9 LG at Fry's. Wife would kill me if I spent $1k on a monitor.

So I'll have to do it on a day off so I get the afternoon with it before I die.

Before bringing it to a CPU shop you better off spending your money on a high end after market CPU cooler like a Arctic freezer. Then next thing I would check is your bios settings and make sure what your CPU fan speed setting is on. If its on automatic, change it to full then retest your temps under load. It could be a driver issue which is causing your CPU to not adjust to loads correctly. Look for things like smartfan enabled or something like that in bios.

I'm betting its one of these two. Both you come out way cheaper doing the fix yourself. Give me your motherboard model and I will find you a reasonable priced cooler.

I only seen 2 options for fans under bios but I switched them from auto to 100%

My motherboard is a MSI Z77A-G41 (MS-7758) (Socket 0)

It's still running hot....this is pissing me off.

The socket for the MSI Z77A-G41 appears to be the LGA1155.

$30 bucks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-099-_-Product

It has to be your fan if your temps are that high and thermal paste is installed correctly.

Now another concern, didn't you paste a picture one time of how dirty the inside of the case was? If your power supply got really dirty and worked overboard & is going out, it could be sending out the wrong voltage to the CPU which could fry your entire PC. I'd also look at the rails on your power supply and make sure you are not getting a ton of spikes or fluctuations in your voltage.

I fixed the dust problem a while ago.

I don't think it's a fan problem. I think it has to be something with the heat sink.

What are you classifying as the "heatsink"? You will have a fan attached to your cpu with what looks like a radiator, it has thin metal fins. That is your fan/heatsink. It is all one unit.

There is only 5 ways I can think would cause your issue.

1) improper air flow inside case. In your situation, its not the problem.

2) Poor thermal paste, yet again this has been fixed so its not the problem.

3) Over voltage being supplied to the CPU causing over heating. Possible.

4) Faulty auto fan control from motherboard. You have proven this is not the problem by running fans at 100% and still same problem. Unless fan control is not working at all from the motherboard, unlikely and can be tested by adjust fan speed and see if rpms change. Which yet again could not be a motherboard problem but go back to a faulty/failing fan.

5) Failing CPU fan. 99% chance this is your problem due to fact its the main/master provider of cooling. Cheap easy fix, plus a better cooler, it's the place I would start.

The thing on top the CPU

The thing on top the CPU

Its important to note when you say I don't think its the fan its most likely the heat sink. Well that has to be the case, because the fan just blows air which the aluminum of the heatsink cools that air and in turn cools the CPU. It can technically be either that is failing, the fan or the heatsink, but to make it easy its all one part. So purchasing a new CPU fan will include not JUST the fan it will have its own heatsink along with it.

I'm fairly confident in recommending a new CPU fan will fix your problems.

980 packed up, going back to Fry's today. Whichever retailer gets a 980 Ti in stock gets my money (preferably EVGA).

Not the problem, but have you pulled out the dust filter lately and cleaned it off? Easy part to forget since it's hidden.

I have a Arctic Freezer Pro 7 just sitting in my computer closest brand new. I can mail it out to you for free man, just let me double check it works on the 1155 socket.

That be awesome but I wouldn't want to take it without giving you something in return.

You can get on ARMA when its working

PM your address so I can UPS it out today.

PM sent, that should fit my case right? My case is posted above. Also thanks again, I'll have to gift you something on steam.

Re: Official "I want to build a New PC!" Thread

Damn I'm sorry for getting your hopes up Candy. My arctic freezer 7 pro is the gen 1 and only works on the 775 socket which is 72mm hole to hole, unfortunately the 1155 socket is 75mm hole to hole. The arctic freezer 7 pro rev 2 is multi-compatible and works with many different sockets, if you can't swing the cost of the cooler master one, this one is $25 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186134
