Find methods to identify which application is linked to CPU temperature increases
Check which processes consume the most CPU power by opening Task Manager, viewing detailed info, and sorting by CPU usage.
The program that puts the most strain on the CPU also tends to raise temperatures the most. A better cooler should help.
Check your processor and cooling solution. Run Task Manager, filter by CPU activity to see the highest demand. It seems a more efficient cooler would be beneficial.
I use Excel for various spreadsheet tasks that demand heavy calculations. I recently switched to Office 2013 64 bit after reaching the memory limit in my current setup. I’m working with an i7 4771 on a CM master Seidon 120M or similar. I’m considering upgrading to Corsair H55 but haven’t had time because of work commitments.
They’re quite similar in terms of features and performance. Before proceeding, here are some things to verify: - Ensure the pump operates at its maximum capacity (12 volts). If it’s connected via a fan header on your motherboard, set it to full speed and leave it as is; it won’t damage the unit. Alternatively, connect it to a 12-volt MOLEX adapter. - Confirm the waterblock or pump is securely fastened to the CPU—give it a gentle tug; it should stay in place. - Verify the fan speed under load. Ideally, connect it to the CPU fan header so it can adjust automatically based on temperatures. If it doesn’t spin up faster when the CPU heats up, cooling efficiency will suffer regardless of the cooler chosen.
