SignalR RGB caused my CPU to overheat.
SignalR RGB caused my CPU to overheat.
Bought this PC from a physical shop here's the specifications.
CPU: Intel Core i9 14900KF
CPU Cooler: Lian Li Galahad II AIO 360mm
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B760-A
Memory: 2x 16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 (Running without XMP)
Storage: 2x 1tb Samsung 980 Pro
GPU: Gigabyte AERO 4080 SUPER OC
Case: Lian Li Evo XL
Everything ran fine until I downloaded this program even after uninstalling it.
CPU used to run 35-40c at idle now it runs at 50-55c and hits max temps above 90 after 5 minutes of playing a game. I know the 14th gen i9 isn't the best with gaming performance but the shop recommended me since they kept getting AMD CPU problems.
Most games ran good (still hot) before this program now they don't run smoothly and stutter had the same problems before but a lot less before I upgraded to BIOS version 1661 (microcode 0.125x update).
Went to the SignalRGB Discord and they told me the program may have adjusted my fan curves so I checked and adjusted them again but now my CPU still runs hot
even tried setting the fans on 100% but the CPU still would get hot. Touching the AIO felt hot to the touch everywhere on both sides of the cables maybe thought it could be the radiator pump but I'm not sure if I can hear it. I don't know if the CPU is RMA legendary 14th gen CPU problem but maybe someone knows a solution.
Hey there,
First I'd reset your BIOS. This feels a bit ironic since your CPU is one of the top gamers, making the 'shop' seem out of place. Still, your CPU is currently under a lot of attention due to possible instability and degradation. It might be related. Are all system drivers and your BIOS up to date?
Does it mean to apply the default settings? All configurations are current, which is what I understand based on what I've learned so far about PCs, especially since this is my first real gaming setup.
You should check the bios settings. Press F2 or DEL at startup to access them. Look for an option to reset to default, and after that your PC will restart. Try it again.
