that by the way, is Idle, in an air conditioned bedroom.

yea, I think it was good luck, as in good luck getting them to do anything.. Well looks like they might, after i bitched them out saying reading the fin HWInfo logs, it gives you everything and unless you will be held responsible, i will not stress the system, saying I have been in IT blah blah blah.. I was then nice and sent then an idle screenshot using their software. They are now asking for receipt and serial number. I gotta pull the cooler this weekend and send them the pic.. I using an older invoice since i dont have the receipt from best buy (i initially bought the h115, but didn't clear the system (prob due to rgb plate thingy), so ran to Best Buy and bought the H100). we will see what they say

Looks interesting.. I'll have to look into this more. At least for personal use, and maybe company.

Cool, good luck.

Thanks.. I need it.. hahaha

@scottalanmiller
ordered heatsink cooler, should have it Saturday. Still waiting to see when/if Corsair will replace AIO

@scottalanmiller Welcome to ML @Kevin_Aventis Glad to see you come aboard

As mentioned wouldn't be surprised if the CPU is Fubar

I sure hope not. I have faith its still good fingers crossed

Very few people buy used consumer grade ram.

I see.. Damn.. I currently have it listed on eBay, If I don't get anything I wont spend the money and will return the memory.

Makes since. Something I rather not deal with in the long term since I won't be around.

That sounds very fatalistic.

I guess.. He is like a son to me. And I am going to freeze my ass off up in the mainland..lol Not looking forward to that.. lol

So on the RAM topic, should I even worry about the current 3200 ram being seen as 2133? Would there be any difference in game play if the one I got is seen at the Ryzen max supported 2667? I currently have 32GB in there (again it was built for editing, not gaming, which is why i put 32 and not 16, plus 32 sounded better..lol)

I probably will not overclock anything this time around.

The one currently in the system is Corsair CMU32GX4M4C3200C16B

The 2 options I bought where
Corsair CMR32GX4M4C3200C16W
and
G.Skill TridentZ

If I can sell the current ones for $200-250 , then I would be fine getting upgrading the current RAM. Plus its prettier and RGB hahah

@DustinB3403 said in Gaming Rig Issues:

well. . . consumer parts. . . so might as well go with something that is simpler and cheaper.
If the fan dies on a classic heatsink it can be 4 clips or screws to replace it. Whereas these units, when they go the entire thing needs to be replaced.

exactly.. its geared to be a pretty consumer item..haha. and heat sink is much cheaper.

@DustinB3403 said in Gaming Rig Issues:

@smartkid808 the thing that is almost certainly the issue is the pump on the coolant you have has died (or there is a clog in the tubes).
This is stopping or drastically slowing the flow of the coolant to reach the radiator and fans to be cooled.

Makes since. Something I rather not deal with in the long term since I won't be around.

Plus that video doesn't help.. lol.. 3 units?? dang

@DustinB3403 said in Gaming Rig Issues:

It's not a matter of "dealing with water cooling" as on a classic heatsink the fan can stop working, which would cause the temp to rise.
But at least with a classic heatsink the entire sink is being aircooled, and thus constantly drawing the heat away, presumably faster than a water cooled unit with a faulty pump so the coolant isn't actually being moved through the heatsink by nothing more than convection.

That, and I can see easier if a fan stopped alot easier than guessing if a pump is working or not..

I'm still waiting for Corsair to get back to me. Hopefully they can do a RMA on it. Then I'll sell it.

@DustinB3403 said in Gaming Rig Issues:

That's not unreasonable. It's 113 F.

Yea, I think he should be OK until I can get the new cooler in, as long as its light usage. Should be in Sunday.

@scottalanmiller said in Gaming Rig Issues:

You have to monitor and maintain whatever it is. That's what is important. Water cooling is fine. Generally overpriced, but nothing particularly wrong with it. But anything that breaks and gets ignored is going to be a problem.

True. Just not sure if I want to deal with water cooling again.

currently just playing YouTube (across team viewer) its running at about 45c. I

@DustinB3403 said in Gaming Rig Issues:

Out.
The goal is to get the heat away from the computer. You already have a cross breeze with the front case fans.

Thanks, Will make it blow out You guys have been such a big help. Any system I build from now on, ill use just regular heat sinks..

@jmoore said in Gaming Rig Issues:

@smartkid808 Ive had no problem with my water cooler. Pc is going on two years now. I don't overclock though, that is most likely the issue. I wouldn't do it. Stuff is too expensive to do it and I value my system being stable.

Yea I prefer him not to, but I am going to set the software to shut down at probably 60c

@DustinB3403 said in Gaming Rig Issues:

The big heatsink you posted is likely going to be fine.
If you wanted to go over the top with cooling. Add many high rpm large case fans to ensure there is as much airflow as possible.

Awesome, thanks.. i'll order that now, so I get it Sunday. I still have all the stock case fans in the system (with exception to the top). I will put the top one back in, just need to know should I have it blowing in or out? Current front and rear fans are blowing front to back.

@travisdh1 said in Gaming Rig Issues:

Just the opposite today, especially as this is most likely a custom built system. Cases are designed for large water cooling systems today. The largest I've seen a single radiator is 140mmx4 fans, tho 120mmx2 and 120mmx3 is more common. Once you have more surface area to dissipate heat, water cooling wins hands down.

This is a custom built rig, this is his case so there is a lot of room

So basically, the answer is switch to old school heat sink from what I understand, now to get a good one. Is the Cooler Master I mentioned above good for the job? I rather have something that costs a little more and work good, then break as I will be leaving the state in 5 months, and I would have to walk him through anything over the phone.

@DustinB3403 said in Gaming Rig Issues:

Think of the heatsink like this.
If proxy systems like this were better, every server system in the world would use it. They don't though. Heatsinks on things that get hot, with fans.

Thanks, you just answered my question to above.. ..
