    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    Ah I see, I wanted to unplug the cooler to see to if gpu powered up and was recognised correctly. Anyhow, i reseated GPU and everything is working now using the 750W psu, H100i cooler and 3080. Previously I was hitting 100deg C when trying cpu-z stress test, now it just jumps from 30 to 60 deg...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    I tried to reseat the GPU, but i couldn't release it from ASUS Z490 plus motherboard, will double check cables later. While i'm sure not advised - would it be safe to disconnect the cooler from the supply and boot into windows to see if GPU is recognized, 3 mins tops without cooler? Shoot me...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    I got new cooler installed and it works great, but!! The gpu is not recognised anymore, lights are on but could this be an underrated PSU maybe I need 850 W not. 750W??

    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    @TonyCarter im having a nightmare at work today, and those images and seeing that clearance on non-RGB Corasir RAM has cheered me up no end!! The founder edition 3080 is quite a bit shorter than my Zotac 3080, to the point that my heart sunk a bit (ok a lot) when i first tried get the GPU in...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    Yes, good spot, i noticed it after i posted it. I realize that my Zotac 3080 is longer than the ASUS TUF 3070 shown in that video so rad and fans wont fit at front - as @TonyCarter has alluded to. I dont have the RGB RAM so in the first instance im hoping i can fit both radiator and 2 fans on...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    To round this thread off I just happened to find this video, which happens to be identical to my build except I got 3080 gpu and a bit more ram. It shows that h100i will be able to fit on the case roof! EDIT: only the fans are on the roof the radiator is on the front and Zotac 3080 is longer...

    My bad it seems selecting the case from the menu doesn't affect the url. i've update my original post and removed the link to the PCS site. Thanks very much

    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    Hi i dont believe that is my case, or certainly the front doesn't look like it. https://www.ebuyer.com/909301-corsair-icue-220t-rgb-airflow-tempered-glass-mid-tower-smart-case-black-cc-9011173-ww but glad you said something, as this spec actually states, "Top: 120/140 mm fan mount x 2 ¦" as well.

    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    Yes i was just thinking about that actually. I do still have cover for the free PCS Labour however, but id have to pay for the courier. If the task is simple and we're sure the Frostflow is not adequate (rather than just defective) it would certainly be more cost effective to do it myself and it...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    Thanks all, I can see now it does need a better performing cooler. Can’t understand why this one was suggested to me in the first instance, but I guess it’s my fault for not questioning it, rather than PCS fault for not sense checking it. In any case, is there any advantage to returning the...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU hitting 100 degree Celsius during Benchmark test - New CPU cooling suggestions

    It's interesting that PCS didn't suggest this at the time when building it for me, the processor and cooler combination was their pre configured suggestion. Can anyone suggest what would be a minimum spec for the CPU cooler? While there is some visible dust, it does seem unlikely to be so bad...

    Thanks for your reply. I've not, that is a good point. Slightly nervous about going inside the cabinet, what should i be blowing out, the radiator? Thanks
