Went through all your recommendations and based on them, product availability and what PCPartsPicker.com was able to show me about their positioning, finally settled on the Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition.
Installed and working great!
Marking this thread solved, repping and closing (if...
StefanR5R, thanks for your comment. Your input and the others here, have convinced me the coolant is likely the issue. Regardless, the outcome is the same: the AIO Water Cooler needed replacement.
It is a sound card, well spotted :). And no, I cannot move it: all the other ports covered by the SLI GPU's.
The problem is the limiting measurement is the one between the CPU and the first PCI-E slot (i.e. sound card). The distance between the CPU and the "top" of the case should be fine, as...
Hello Everyone:
Problem:
Following the apparent death of my liquid cooler, I am in the market for a quality replacement. However, the major hurdle (for an air cooler at least) is the "vertical" space I have for installation (the space between the first PCI-E card and the top of the case)...
Not overclocking, no. Which makes this overheating thing all the more frustrating.
Both of the brands you mention are available but because they are considered "niche" here, product delivery takes weeks. Deepcool and Noctua are next day delivery.
Okay, thanks: will consider all options you...
An additional question that has just occurred to me (I've will add it to the original post as well, if I can):
The CPU is currently running at 100 C at idle/minimum load, as soon as Windows loads. Is that solely because of the lack of heat removal or could the CPU itself be at fault? Shouldn't...
crashtech, thanks for the detailed reply: really helps to understand the concepts.
I will keep this thread open for a while in the event there are any more inputs but the general consensus seems to be to replace the unit.
Never thought of that. Can do that but will take some time. Will post the result in a while.
CPU Mount Error/Gap: The comp ran without complaint for three years so I assume it can't be that unless it somehow got separated by itself.
Remount: Yes, I remounted the block with a fresh application...
crashtech, thanks for the reply.
Just to be clear, can clogging or impeller separation occur without affecting the fan (since the Corsair Link app shows the pump fan is turning)?
If a new cooling unit is ultimately required then that's fine: I just wanted to be (fairly) sure before I...
aigomorla, thanks for the reply!
Apologies for the potato quality (and partial disassembly) but this should be enough to ascertain orientation:
Radiator is placed horizontally, above the pump, at the top of the case
Appreciate the link.
Exactly what I thought but then where could the...
I have a 6-year-old, self-built, AIO water cooled PC (specs below) that for various reasons has only been in regular use for the past 3 years. For those last 3 years, there has been no change in configuration and things have been running smoothly (successful stress test done a year ago). Two...
