Hello everyone !
I have been having countless problems with my 2 month old gaming build.
After deciding that i need to change my cpu cooler i replaced it with a cooler master nepton 120xl.
At first the cpu cooler worked great keeping my i7-4790 3.60GHz at maximum temperature of 60 degrees celcius while playing Battlefield 1 on ultra graphic settings.
One day later after the pc was off for 24 hours i turn it on only to realise that it is running above 60 degrees celcius while idle. I know that this is not a temperature that could damage or effect the systems performance but with the cooler master nepton 120XL the fans tend to get loud above 50-60oc and make using the pc annoying. Of-course the temperature increases while gaming to temperatures of up to 100 celcius on the exactly same settings i played battlefield 1 the day before which is pretty frustrating.
I have since checked if the cooler is mounted properly and if all connectors are attached securely meanwhile placing my computer flat on the floor. In the process i realised that the cooler seemed to work while in this position cooling down from 90 to 70 celcius almost instantly. After that i picked it back up and saw a instant rise in temperature leading me to thinking that there is a problem with the pump not working properly.
My system
CPU : Intel Core i7 4790 @ 3.60GHz
RAM : HyperX FURY Black 16GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz
MTB : MSI Z87M GAMING
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (MSI) 4gb
PSU : Corsair CX600M
MEMORY : Kingston - Savage 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
: Seagate - 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive
CASE : Corsair - SPEC-ALPHA (Black/Red)
CPU COOLER : Cooler master nepton 120xl
I have also replaced old thermal paste with a dab of Arctic Silver 5
Hope someone could give me any advice for what i could do or try to do.
Thanks
