Chipset overheats, I have a question
Chipset overheats, I have a question
PSU is lian li dragonforce 900 Watts
No overclock on CPU or VGA.
On idle, maximum temperatures are only on the chipset during heavy load. Other components function perfectly under 60°C (maximum).
Here, this is during idle; http://prntscr.com/ae8lcp
Please check yourself. TMPIN1 is 50°C+ at idle and rises to 80+°C under heavy load.
I know the risks of installing a cooler, but it fits with chipsets and is adaptable. It won't touch the PCB and only contacts the chipset's heat-conducting area with thermal glue.
I still don’t understand what could go wrong—could you explain more?
Rubix and I have warned you about all the important details. If you're determined to follow through and think you have the right information, just be mindful not to damage your mobile or graphics circuit board. Good luck, buddy.
I'm doing this too. After watching some YouTube videos, I noticed the temperature was 63°C and I'm really upset right now. As soon as I get the item, I'll apply it and share the results here. Thanks for letting me know it's dangerous—I'll be extra careful now. I'll handle cable management and make sure cables are secured or moved away from the cooler area.
I would just poke a hole in the side panel of the case to fit a fan directly toward the stock cooler, but that's the last thing I want to do to my Zalman Z3+ case since I admire its look. 😉
Thanks guys
Hope you're doing well, please share your thoughts on the heatsink.
Remember that chipsets are built to withstand heat. Being warm or hot to the touch doesn't indicate they aren't meant to work at those temperatures.
For instance, a car engine stays operational despite extreme heat, just as electronics are engineered for similar conditions.
I get it, I only looked at it because I wasn't sure what TMPIN0, TMPIN1 or TMPIN2 meant on the monitor. TMPIN1 was between 80 and 85 degrees Celsius after the game, and around 60+ during idle. That indicates the hottest part, so I checked them and confirmed the hottest one is my chipset. I've now replaced the heatsink and everything feels cooler. Here are the pictures; also, just to be clear, I only want my PC parts to stay cool to prolong their life. What I know is that higher temperatures mean shorter lifespan. Thanks a lot!
Thank you, it was great that everything came through smoothly.
