Even hotter than before.
Even hotter than before.
It's been a while, maybe since the machine was constructed. The coolant looks good, no buildup in the GPU area that I can clearly see. I also experienced some strange crashes with Corsair’s poorly designed controller software for Commander Pro. I forced an update, and currently both the software and BF are working without issues. Hopefully this continues...
For those interested, the thermal grizzly contact frame paired with PTM7950 worked well. I moved my radiators outside the case for several reasons, but also tested the contact frame and PTM7950 to see if it would help. My CPU performed very well, reaching around 10°C, with temperatures fluctuating a lot in combat. What was consistently high were the low to mid 70s and low 80s range. I also applied PTM7950 to my GPU, suspecting a bad mount, and it showed a solid 8-10°C improvement.
