Prime 95 performance issues
Prime 95 performance issues
Cooler looks good, but airflow might be an issue. I tried taking off the front panel—it could make it quieter and improve performance compared to removing the side panel. If you're modifying the case, adding two fans in front with inexpensive dust filters works well. Drilling holes or cutting out the panels so fans can pass through helps a lot with heat management.
Not yet, though a promising concept. I haven’t experienced such intense stress before reaching 86°C. I didn’t focus much on the case after that, but a quick inspection shows the front panel is detachable and 120mm fans can be added. --- No crashes for some time (not the two hours I thought earlier). --- No crashes during a full Prime95 Blend session. Everything is working fine now.
What is going on here? The 4.5GHz frequency is behaving erratically, and I'm seeing issues on the 4.4GHz side. Is your CPU struggling?
