cpu at 100 C??

trallalallalalala · Nov 12, 2017

Is this bad, seems its been running hot for atleast a year havent really noticed. Anyways its an i5-4690k on stock cooler, ordered a seidon 120v ver.2 water cooler now, but is it safe to use it now that i know my hot temps. Its only on 100% cpu, also only noticed it in star wars battlefront 2 when loading the galactic warfare big maps. Ingame its like 80 85

Yeah that's pretty toasty, and you're definitely thermal throttling. Are you overclocking? If so you you don't really want to with a stock cooler.

I would maybe try and clean the cooler on there with some canned air and also make sure your case fans are working correctly.

not no overclocking, tbh i had it for a few years since it was new. so the stock cooler is pretty dusted

trallalallalalala · Nov 12, 2017

yeah, i got this arriving soon tho http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-liquid-cooler/seidon-120v-v2/ hoping it will take care if the problem. just a bit worried using it for gaming until then

Clean it out with some canned air. A compressor isnt recommended. They also make magnet filters what will stick to your case to help keep things clean or for a really cheap and effective filter you can use pantyhose over your intake fans.

hm, also was wondering with the water cooler i linked. which way do i want the air to go out or in from the back? atm its out and intake in front

richiestang_78 · Nov 12, 2017

It doesn't matter for thermals, but for ease of cleaning have the fans pulling the air through the radiator. That way you can just lightly vacuum off the radiator. If you have the fan pushing the air through you'll have to take the fan off to get at where the dust build up is. Plus it looks cleaner to have the fan hidden underneath the rad IMO.

thx nice

will do that!

trallalallalalala · Nov 13, 2017

so if i put it on the back, i take the fan pulling from the outerside with the radiator inside? I was also thinking putting my old fan as an intake on the top is that good?

trallalallalalala · Nov 13, 2017

also when cleaning my old paste which hasnt been touched for like 3 years, i just use some cleanex papers?

I would recommend some isopropyl alcohol (just rubbing alcohol you can get cheap from the store) and some make-up removal pads or coffee filters, or anything that won't leave any residue. A few swipes with one of the makeup removal pads with rubbing alcohol on it, then coffee filter to dry it off should be good.
