CPU Cooler recommendations
I got a killer deal on a 5800x. Unfortunately my case lists max cooler height as 155mm. New case isn't in the budget and the only AIO it fits is a 120mm. I've read mixed things on using those when compared to air coolers. Any recommendations? I was using PCPartPicker and most of the top reviewed ones are listed as not…

CPU Fan Error
I had MicroCenter build a new PC for me. I picked it up yesterday. When I turn the system on, I received a "CPU Fan Error" message. I can go into the BIOS and exit to get around this error message. I'm very disappointed that MC would deliver this PC with this problem. I called tech services and the tech indicated that this…

Can I fit a 300mm pump/reservoir combo in an O11 Dynamic EVO?
So I've been picking out parts that I want to eventually buy for a PC I'm going to build. I decided pretty early that I wanted it to be custom water cooled, and was quickly pointed to the O11 Dynamic EVO as a good case for that. Fast forward and I'm picking out a pump/reservoir combo for my loop. The EKWB Quantum Kinetic…

Does the reservoir have to be attached to a fan or radiator?
The case I'm using, is a tight fit, unfortunately. The only location I found that I might be able to play the reservoir since it has to be upright is on the bottom of the case between the gpu and the motherboard, I don't have a fan bracket there but it looks like there is a place I could place one, does the reservoir pump…

Liquid cooling for dummies?
For starters, assume I know nothing (basically true) I dont even know if I need or want liquid cooling. Is it a universal good or is it extremely situational? Also I have an additional question that may or may not be a stupid question. Assuming my entire system is liquid cooled, is that gonna reduce the amount of dust and…

Build 2019, Need more cooling capacity?
I built my machine in 2019 and now it seems I need more cooling capacity. Components are getting too hot lately. CPU and GPU both running at same temp. Just wondering if more cooling is needed with what I am running or if other equipment changes are needed. Wondering if I need to bring my PC into service or if I could just…

Would an AIO fit in this setup?
So I got the Cooler Master Mesh TD500 case and wanted to incorporate the Kraken Z63 280mm AIO for cooling, preferably at the top of the case. But it looks like it would be a tight squeeze, if it could even fit at all. I was hoping to get some opinions on this? This is a MSI Gaming Edge B550 motherboard. Please ignore the…

Corsair QL 120 fans on iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX
I'm considering for aesthetic reasons replacing all the fans in my rig with QL 120s but im unsure if I can use the existing hub from the cooler as well as if the fans will be a big performance hit from the included fans for the cooler. There will be a total of 6 fans.

Changing Dell XPS 8940 cooling?
I have a brand new XPS 8940 with intel i7-10700 and GTX 1660 Super; 32 GB ram, SSD and an extra HDD. I immediately noticed that once launching any video game, the fans were very loud and GPU temps were well into 80s C, and after downloading Core Temp, I've discovered the CPU is fairing far worse, often hitting 90C. I'm a…

NZXT Kraken AIO vs Standard Air Cooler
I am finishing gathering all the parts for my first rig, and I know the NZXT Kraken x53 240mm has really caught my attention for the features and the price. I know water cooling has scientifically been shown to be more effective for managing CPU temperature, but I have also heard about some of the risks of using liquid…

Dell G5 Desktop Cooling upgrades
I recently bought a Dell G5 gaming pc (intel i5, 1660 super), I am a college student on a budget so I think buying it for $900 was a bargain. I was wondering what size fan would be needed to upgrade the current one, also how difficult it would be to upgrade the cpu heatsink. Thank you for any advice you can give me, I'm…

Making adjustments to airflow intake
Good Afternoon, I am trying to improve my pc. i am noticing that my fans on my pc aren't necessarily keeping my CPU "cold". I currently have a Thermal Take view 21. I purchased this computer through IBP and it only has two fans. It has an intake fan, and a CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 120mm fan as the back exhaust. I am…

Looking to ditch my 120mm AIO for a Noctua cooler, BUT...
Okay so I'm putting together a gameplan for a pc "rebuild." I really like the case that I got with my current PC and looking inside it seems pretty easy to work with. However, as I was taking a look at the insides I noticed a few things. One is no intake fans on the front (but maybe some places to mount one or 2? Unsure.)…

i screwed up my aio!
I purchased a corsair aio and accidently cut the rgb hub controller wire thats attached to the block. Good news is that it works fine but no rgb on the fans that come with it. I purchased it two days ago from this posting (12-08-20) at my local microcenter but did not purchase a warranty. what should I do?
