High temperature

[BlackDemon]

Hello comrades, I have a small cooling problem with my computer. The CPU stays at about 42 degrees when idle, which I don't think is too bad, but when I play anything, the temperature rises to 65 degrees quite quickly, and that's when I start to think it's getting a bit warm. The AIsuite alarm has gone off a few times already. I have a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO and 3 fans in the case, one intake and two exhausts. I know this micro is a bit warm to begin with, but this much??

That micro needs a RL, with those 125W TDP it has.

Salu2!

Personally, I think you have a combination of problems:

• The Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO heatsink is just right for your micro, not to mention short.
• Your graphics card, not having an official heatsink, dissipates heat inside the case instead of coming out the back.

Conclusion: your case is too short because even if you put a bigger heatsink, you will only improve temperatures when using only the CPU... if you use CPU and GPU (games) you will have those temperatures no matter what you put because the hot air from the graphics card goes up before leaving the case.

Solution:

• Run both the CPU and GPU through OCCT to see separately how each one heats up. Then run Prime or AIDA64 in FPU mode while running OCCT on the GPU (that is, stress both components at the same time as a game would).
• Once you know the temperature each component can work at inside the case, mount everything outside the case and test again to verify that you don't have a temperature difference greater than 5 or at most 10º compared to having it mounted inside.
• Last step:

Too big difference when mounted inside or outside -> change the case
The CPU gets too hot and thermal throttling appears or crashes the screen -> change the heatsink
Both problems ->> change both

Thank you very much for the comments, the heatsink is one of the few that fit in my case because it hits the door fan or if it is too wide it would hit the ram modules, then I will do the stress tests and tell you

Well, the first data with OCCT shows that the CPU reaches up to 73 degrees and the GPU up to 51, I'll see if I have time and do the test outside the box
