Can PCs overheat?

[OSdevr]

You people are totally....well...obviously not very experienced with running desktop CPUs near their thermal limits(as in TJ Max...not TCase...which is a meaningless number that refers to nothing). That's about as nicely as I can put it.

Desktop CPU thermal throttling?

NOT!!! And that's 1°C shy of TJ Max.

From the Intel Datasheet available here. Page 85, Section 5.1.5.1 - Adaptive Thermal Monitor:

Reaching the maximum operating temperature activates the Thermal Control Circuit
(TCC). When activated the TCC causes both the processor IA core and graphics core to
reduce frequency and voltage adaptively. The Adaptive Thermal Monitor will remain
active as long as the package temperature remains at its specified limit. Therefore, the
Adaptive Thermal Monitor will continue to reduce the package frequency and voltage
until the TCC is de-activated.

...

Adaptive Thermal Monitor protection is always enabled.

Yea everything is plugged in and running I’m thinking it’s there last update screwed something up. I can feel the liquid moving though the tubes so I’m not sure

Logic would tell me to reinstall the software... if that doesnt work, an older version.

Yea I’m hoping my pump is not dead but it seems to be working just can’t pick it up in cl4

 

[EarthDog]

Your temps will tell you if its working. Put it under stress and see where it goes... use your head a bit.

If the pump isnt working kt will eventually overheat.. temps wont settle and continue to rise (assuming its getting hit wkth same stress levels..)

 

[NTM2003]

Core temps using real temp gt is 58c hasn’t gone above that it’s usually at 38-43c

Is that idle temps? Load... do tell.

The more (relevant) information you give us the better and faster we can help.

Oh my God what is Linus doing to that CPU?

 

[NTM2003]

 

[EarthDog]

1. LOL, screencaps... I miss the 90s...
2. Use the regular Realtemp.exe instead of the GT one. The GT was for hex cores (Gulf Town) and will get rid of that extra space without readings.
3. You still didn't mention what kind of load its running OR run a stress test and see what your temps are.
4. Did you try to uninstall and reinstall this version? How about the older version?

Ill uhh... tackle this in the morning... oye.

 

[NTM2003]

Haven’t tried the older version yet I do that tomorrow when I have more time if that won’t work I might have to buy a new one. Oh and does it need to be installed on the windows drive are the data drive first I tired the windows drive no luck and then I tried the date drive same thing

 

[EarthDog]

Install to its default location...on your windows drive.

 

[de.das.dude]

just FYI, you can copy your steam folder and keep it on a backup ext. hdd and then copy it back again. No need to download games again and again. Steam is portable. It will automatically install all the required things if needed on the new PC when you start the game for the first time.

I have never downloaded a game twice.

Or just use its integrated backup and make it a bit easier for restore.

mine ran 24/7 without a hitch

 

[NTM2003]

I got my cooler working agian the software wasn’t picking it up I had to do a system restart the main cpu temp is at 58c I know that’s not high but I’m guessing it might be the new ssd that’s in the pc or something

 

[EarthDog]

Please define "system restart"

Again, 58C............. doing what??????????????????????????

You are saying/thinking a new SSD raised your CPU temps? Que??? No, just no on that one.




Good lawd man... next time, buy a Dell it will be so much easier for you... and you won't have to worry about any of this stuff.

 

[NTM2003]

Haha yea I think it’s doing fine but even if I did by a laptop I won’t think it’s much easier. Maybe for me yea but I hate to sell my desktop to buy a laptop plus there more expensive. Ha that’s what it was my cpu voltage was up high on my msi command center software I put it to default now it’s woring good. I’m not sure how it got to be that high though it was set at 1.5200

 

[EarthDog]

I didn't say a laptop.

Dell is a BRAND. They sell both desktops and laptops.

 

[NTM2003]

If I ever decide to get a simple pc I would get a laptop with a 1080 and 4K display and a ssd sometimes I just get tired of upgrading and fooling with different things on a desktop. But even if I sold mine I prob won’t cover the cost of a high end gaming laptop

 

[EarthDog]

You are best suited not to play around in a PC...

 

[NTM2003]

For now I’m done with all upgrades I should be good to go for a few years

 

[theFOoL]

Your pc is more than fine unless your cooler goes wack. Your Internet speed is same as mine. I don't find that slow for me at least. Here in Alabama the speeds here are awful no matter what carrier you choose. I'm assuming you have a lot more games. Say what.. 100+ GBs

 

[NTM2003]

Yea I am getting cox in Jan 5 mbs all I can afford now but I’m sure that be a lot faster then 2.5 mbs Verizon dsl plus Verizon dsl goes down a lot and can’t do anything

 

[theFOoL]

Our ISP here is:

GigaMonster and there's a 1GB option! Here so

Verizon got out of DSL and Sold it to frontier, in the US atleast.

5Mbps for cable!? You must have a tap that is pretty far away or the condition of the lines there are rubbish
