Increase CPU temperatures significantly when AIO temperatures remain low.
Increase CPU temperatures significantly when AIO temperatures remain low.
Are there any ways to enhance your cooling further? It's currently fine, but if possible I'd like improvements. Regarding thermal paste, what are the top options available? It would be better to consult experienced users rather than relying on website ratings. Also, thank you for reassuring me about my concerns. Would removing the CPU help at all, since I've read that the thermal paste isn't very effective inside the 7700k?
I'm looking for ways to enhance my cooling performance further. While the current setup works, improvements would be welcome. Regarding thermal paste, what are the top options available? It might be better to consult experienced users rather than relying on website ratings. Also, I was wondering if removing the CPU could help, as I've read that good thermal paste isn't always effective inside the 7700K. If you're using an i7 7700K, make sure your motherboard's voltage settings match the stock specifications to avoid overheating. As for delidding, it's a personal decision and could void your warranty. Unless you have a secondary gaming PC, I strongly advise against it unless you're familiar with the process.
This depends - are you increasing the clock speeds and adjusting BIOS settings to match? If not, it seems like you have certain features enabled in AUTO mode or a standard overclocking setup that doesn’t optimize for the lowest vcore based on your clock speed and timing.
