Performance spike detected in CPU usage.
Performance spike detected in CPU usage.
Hello, I have a query about CPU temperatures over the past two days. While I was browsing, I learned it could be the power supply unit or the CPU itself since the issue occurred during high load. I’m more likely to suspect the CPU temperature is the problem because my cooler seems to be faulty. I’m currently searching for a replacement and find it difficult to locate options online. My setup includes an AIDA64 monitor showing CPU:i5 9600K, no overclocking enabled, and a Hyper-212X cooler from 2013 that doesn’t fully cover the CPU. I’m unsure if this cooler is the cause and want to dispose of it quickly. Regarding the PSU, the Silverstone ST75F-PT model might be affected too.
The system is beginning to operate correctly without any overheating issues, and it isn't running at an overclocked speed. Both Intel and AMD processors have built-in thermal restrictions that limit how much heat they can release. This device is your cooling solution.
You could try checking the cooler’s user guide online or ensuring proper installation before using it.
I truly believe what bothers me is the sudden shutdown where the computer attempted to restart before stopping completely. This suggests the PSU could be faulty, and without a multimeter I’m unsure exactly which component might be the issue—making it a risky guess.
A faulty cooler is likely the issue. If it runs after sitting for an hour, it probably points to the cooler itself.
Check my findings, as I mentioned I can't access Amazon or similar sites. Local shops often carry more affordable options since not many people purchase them, especially with the ongoing impact of COVID. You have the Corsair Carbide Series 275R, a mid-tower case—should it fit your needs?
