Resolved PC thermal throttling issue.
Resolved PC thermal throttling issue.
i assembled the new pc myself, but it immediately throttled when running cinebench. once stopped, it cooled down just as quickly. everything seemed fine during installation—stock windows, downloaded files. i’m new to this and it doesn’t look right. the built-in cpu/gpu cooler is working, paste applied, fans and pump are correct. maxing them didn’t change the temperature readings much. i think if it wasn’t seated properly or was defective, it wouldn’t cool so fast. i managed to pass cinebench by lowering cpu ratios and voltage settings, but the cooler still throttled significantly. i’m confused about why it struggles with stock specs and how low the settings need to be. anyone have advice?
check to see what the pump RPM is going at. Is the rad putting out warm air? If the CPU is that hot, the rad should be kicking off some heat. unmount the CPU Cooler, clean it all off, make sure there's no plastic or anything in the way, and remount.
i don't understand how to verify the pump speed. it came with a device labeled "ARGB & PWM HUB" that's fully integrated (as shown in the manual). according to the instructions, fan 1 is spinning around 1000 RPM when idle and about 1850 when under load—it's a bit warmer than normal but not overheating (cpu reaches 89°C with non-throttled settings after 10 minutes in cinebench, score 11235). i haven't run it beyond 3 seconds at the default settings, and it stayed steady at around 100°C. i'm concerned it might be getting too hot, especially since the user benchmarks give a very low score for this cpu with those settings. i don't have any cleaning supplies or thermal paste to share right now.
If you're referring to "masterplusplus," it indicates no compatible devices were found. I'll avoid using the fan hub feature.
When it’s warm, gently touch one side of the water pipe to the CPU with each hand. If one feels warmer than the other, there may be a blockage inside the AIO. If both sides are warm, it should be exchanging heat properly. The side that’s a bit warmer should be slightly hotter, indicating the transfer of hot water. I understand many people worry about AIOs breaking or malfunctioning. The fans seem to be running at the radiator, do you think that’s normal? Also, when you installed it, did you secure each corner firmly before moving on, or did you space them evenly for even contact and surface tension? Some models include plastic on the heat pad—please make sure it’s removed before connecting it to the CPU.
one is slightly cooler... i can also rarely hear bubbles every now and then for a sec but nothing i think is concerning i did the cross thing and went over again just to check... also it has hex standoff things that the cooler screws in to and they are also tight (2 finger tightness as the saying goes) and yes i removed the plastic... i also did not touch it or the top of the cpu
You shouldnt hear bubbles if you do, you need to bleed the air out of the reservoir / radiator. Air bubbles will restrict your flow. Is the rad top mounted, front mounted? There typically is a optimal position for AIO's mounting. Im worried if you got some air stuck in there, its causing your grief.
the box advises not to be concerned—it’s not a constant issue. probably the third time i’ve heard it, it’s side-mounted because that’s the only way it fits. this change was confirmed by the store where i bought all the components. i thought about flipping the pc upside down to test, but i’d expect it to be more noticeable on the temperature graphs if there were a bubble. at the end of a cinebench, each core’s temperature looks good, and dam, you see how low the values are. my old pc never dropped below 40 watts, as far as i remember. even with all this, it’s still a huge improvement.
