Random restarts after installing hyper 212 evo

neilsoon · May 24, 2014

as the title says, I installed a hyper 212 evo and ever since then my pc has randomly been rebooting. The temps seem fine, a lot lower than with the stock cooler, from 30+ idle to about 15 idle.. Any help is appreciated.

Is Hyper 212 Evolution a download(ed) game? Or is it a Central Processing unit (CPU)?

che0063 :

Erm.. are you trolling on purpose? It's neither a game nor a CPU - it's a rather popular CPU cooler.

To the OP
Are you sure you have it installed properly? That idle temp of 15 C seem very low if you are not playing sitting in a walk-in fridge or something you won't be able to get that kind of temp with an air cooler.

Make sure the heatsink is aligned properly and makes good contact with the CPU.

I'm not trolling on purpose!
Although I agree 15C is on the cool side. Maybe your battery cannot support such low temperatures, though I doubt it.

15C is very low actually. What is your room temperature? I think it is lower than 15C

Erm... che0063 no offense but I don't think you know what you are talking about... like... at all.

His battery not supporting such low temperatures? What battery? It's a PC, the only battery there would be the CMOS battery on the motherboard and it has nothing, and I mean NOTHING to do with low temperatures...

No Offense taken. It's fine or you don't understand what I'm saying. I just slid off topic. I'll just Shut up now

che0063 :

+1 for this megatroll. I like it lol.

@ OP: Mouldread has the point. Check if the cooler is properly seated/
Re-apply thermal paste if you think the cooler is fixed in the way it has to be.

Ive reseated it there and im gonna see what happens. Thing is, it works pretty well, the pc runs fine etc, but then it will just cut out and restart. And yeah my room is rather cool

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

could it be that my psu cant supply enough power for the fan? cause it worked no problems until I changed the fan yesterday..

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

It must be a power problem as the old heatsink and fan, the stock one, works fine.

corsair 500w supply
tri x r9 290
fx6300
msi 760 p34 mobo
two 1tb WD hardrives

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

nope its happened again with the old one installed so I'm completely lost now

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

Sorry for the questions but i'd really like help here, my event viewer is showing mulitple northbridge failures could this be a factor?

dacquesta1 · May 25, 2014

how about the specs on the rest of your system...can't help you if we don't know what you have.

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

corsair 500w psu
sapphire tri x r9 290
amd fx 6300 at stock speeds and with stock fan however this issue happened after i installed the hyper 212 evo.
8gb kingston 1600mhz ram
2 x WD CB hdds 1tb
msi 760 p34 motherboard
three extra CM fans

dacquesta1 · May 25, 2014

honestly your pretty close to the limits of that psu and that motherboard lacks a heatsink on the vrm's which doesnt help but the 6300 is under the list of supported cpu's so I highly doubt its the vrm heating up. Do you have a higher wattage psu you can swap out and try? I think it starting after you installed the 212 is circumstantial. Did you take the motherboard out to install the 212?

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

nope my case has an opening in the other side to remove the backplate on the mount. I could get one from amazon and swap it out no problem to see if its causing the issue. Could it really just be a coincidence that it's happening after the new fan was installed? And what do the north bridge errors mean? Thanks for the help

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

Just as an aside, my room is rather cold right now however HWinfo is saying my cpu temp is 7.8 degrees.. This seems unbelievably low .

dacquesta1 · May 25, 2014

are your ram mhz and timing set to spec?

dacquesta1 · May 25, 2014

the low idle temps just ignore them, its the way amd cpu's report their temps.

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

Yeah I've not touched those at all cause I haven't a clue what the timings mean. Though is there a way to make sure they're set to default?

dacquesta1 · May 25, 2014

download cpu-z it will tell you what the timings are and should be set to

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

Okay I will do after I've showered and I'll report back

neilsoon · May 25, 2014

okay so cpu-z says that my DRAM Frequency is 800.7
FSB

RAM 1:4
CAS latency (CL) 11.0 clocks
RAS# to CAS# delay (tRCD) 11 clocks
RAS# precharge (tRP) 11 clocks
cycle time (tRAS) 28 clocks
Bank Cycle Time (tRC) 39 clocks

I have no idea what these mean or if they're correct, Sorry :/

dacquesta1 · May 25, 2014

Your ram timings look fine to me. what does it say under spd?
