OK Greg, how do you know it hurts to put your finger in to a moving fan?
Isn't that Jay's thing?
Some of those high power Delta fans can literally draw blood if you stick your finger in there.
@@Mr.Morden You mean cleave flesh.
I can recommend to try it... Experience it at least once... You won't regret it.... Or maybe you will...
Just tried this and it cut my finger :(
Don’t do it guys
Man, these days we need to care about our hardware more than before, because with that shortage it's pain to get anything, so, great video
Seriously. It's fallout time boys
@Mark Hammer The prices are up because of the shortage
@@kirifps shortage followed by scalping, followed by the crypto craze, which was followed by more scalping.
I don’t think that the shortage would be that bad alone.
After building pc’s for myself, family & friends for 25years years I’m still finding these “back to basics” videos great to see rather then the “best cpu” etc type videos as it encourages more people to give pc building / maintenance a go and remove the “scary” stigma for many. Great video Greg 🏆🥳🎉👍
I’ve had my gaming PC for over a year and I still get scared when a component I haven’t felt with starts not working properly or at all.
Had a cable I forgot to plug in. You showing all the plugs holding it up REALLY helped. Thanks bro.
Found your channel recently and you are legit man, great content. I also want to say how cool it is to see someone so honest and humble, your fix or flop series is really cool. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone not charge for replacing parts just because they make money from videos. That is highly commendable 👌 keep up the great work brother 👍
I'm only able to do it because of all of you, so thank you!
@@GregSalazar hey brother Greg stay awesome, thank you. , I just picked up the 420 liquid frozer AIO :) Ty 4 the tips always. :)
Excellent video as usual. I like these explaining videos in particular going into details that might seem obvious, even for an enthusiast like me, i always find them interesting to watch because i learn some new little thing or a new trick that i never considered before. Thank you!
That DIY Perks mention was cool. Just hearing his channel's name makes me crave his inventions again lol.
You missed one that Linus recently described - forgetting to remove the protective film from the CPU before installing the cooler!
I am thinking so hard now if i ever did that on my old pc 😂 had a 4690k the temps seemed high even on idle. Sure my pc was over 7 years old but is 50c normal with a single radiator cooler?
WOW!!! You're a life saver! I just can't believe that I solved out this problem. It was coming from the stock cooler that was slightly open from the cpu surface. Big thanks
I’m so glad this came up on my recommended so quickly 🙏🏾 thanks
I can't thank you enough man. I just built my first machine and after 2 days of strenuous labor, I was getting 90+ cpu temps right after I turned it on in BIOS. I didn't have any clue what was wrong but after watching this video, I checked my setup and it turned out that I hadn't plugged on my pump cable.
Thanks once again
Very simple yet effective way of demonstrating the different thermal compound application methods, just use a transparent object to stimulate a heatsink applying pressure to the thermal compound and CPU and you can observe the way the thermal compound spreads, haven't seen that before for some reason, well done.
Thanks for the useful information! Now I know what to check if my CPU temps ever get too high 👍
Classic Greg, super helpful and awesome as always. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
@@GregSalazar my ststem intergator benchamrked the cpu and it never reached 100 C, but when I run my bnechmark after recieving the PC, it reaches 100C and turns off after few seconds
Great content as always Greg, keep 'em coming
Love these videos. As someone whose been getting into pc building the more useful info the better
Yes, recently started getting into pc building and came across your channel. So informative and straight forward. Love what you’re doing! Subbed 👌
Yeah same, it’s gotta be the worst time in the past decade to do so though lmao
Forma Brazil, and Your Job is amazing, i am buying peaces of my PC and i am spend time seeing your vídeos, i am learning a lot. So many thanks
Another tip for checking if your AIO pump is dead is that you put a load on your CPU then feel the temperature of both tubes an you should notice that one tube is hotter than the other which means the pump is in working order as the fluid is circulating the unit correctly. However If you feel that both tubes are getting equally as hot then there may be a pump problem. Thats what Ive used to determine dead AIOs in the past anyway.
thank you my friend, i have older corsair cooler but maybe too old ?
How strange. My cpu literally started overheating a couple of days ago. This is a big help thank you
Just found your channel. I am in SoFlo and moving to the Orlando area soon. I will be watching
Love it my man
Thanks for the vid Greg
I was concerned that my AIO pump had died and I actually grabbed a stethoscope I had and placed it on the pump block, this works really well, you can clearly hear the pump running, even ramping up and down if it's a PWM pump, good tip! It's also VERY easy to over tighten CPU coolers, they only need to be finger tight if they don't have the limiting screws with pressure springs, I learned that the hard way, my pc shut down in the middle of a Windows install because it was over tightened so bad that it overheated and shut down
Top class very informative , thanks a mill Greg , keep going ❤️❤️
Glad you liked it!
if you have more advanced motherbord with a bios that shows realtime fan speed u can also check if the pump is turning. but that is only if u have a "better" motherborad with a better bios
Lol never thought that oem key would be useful until I upgraded my pvc and it made me get a new one so I looked up your channel to use the link and code
Great video! legit and informativ :) keep going
Thanks,Greg!!!!!!
I'm not in need of this video, but I watched it anyway. And I don't regret watching it as I could use what I learn in the future and I could send this video to my a friend if they need it. Thanks!
An extra tip for thermal paste application: if you're not sure your method will cover the IHS, use a spatula spreader... thing, to cover the whole IHS before you mount your cooler.
I like just because PSA type. Doesn't always have to be a PC with crazy issues. Keep going dude.😊
You forgot the possibility of a clog in the AIO system. Had one in my MSI form in the block that goes over the cpu. Was easy to fix but for a bit I thought the pump was dead already after only a year. Just flushed it out and gave it fresh fluid and it works fine now. Had to use some compressed air to fully remove the gunk and several days to fully remove the chunks that had formed.
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Very informative another top class video cheers Greg 🙂
Hope you enjoy it! :-D
Dmed u about this on Instagram earlier thanks for this vid
thank you!!! big help on testing my aio pump. pc had shut off on me while gaming
that motherboard is real nice. X58 in general while aging, is still great.
If only ms would let it run windows 11, x58 is perfectly capable.
Excellent stuffed buddy
I would like to add something to checking fluid flow on an AIO. Grab the pipes one at a time. When I grabbed them both, I couldn't tell if I was feeling fluid motion, or just the general vibrations from my six case fans and the three on my GPU. When I grabbed them individually, I could distinctly tell the direction of flow on both pipes. That told me for sure that it was functioning properly.
smart, most people don’t even speak about this
Thank you for sharing.
In the NZXT Cam software you can see the pump speed so that is another quick way to check if the pump is operating. It also shows the fan speed on the radiator.
Thanks Greg for ending my paranoia each time I launch AC Origins and my 5950x stays around 70c - 75c on an AIO.
Now I can stop obsessing about it.
Yep, perfectly fine temps once the closed loop reaches thermal equilibrium under load :-)
Man my 5800x reaches 90-91 almost anytime I game with my AIO. I'm still paranoid but from iv read on reddit it's a normal temp
@@jameshau7408 91 normal on a 5800x?? What's the tjmax on that????
@@chuchof3tt669 apparently with an entry level cooler the max is about 95. I found some thread on reddit with it which I believe my cooler would fall under. It's not a great AIO and I plan on upgrading it later on but for right now I think it will be OK.
@@jameshau7408 I just checked AMD website it lists Max Temps at 90c. I wouldn't feel comfortable with 90c to 91c or TJ Max temps running continuously under load.. It might shorten the life of your CPU.
Whoa! That Rampage III BIOS gave me flashbacks with the look.
I've always worked on cars and willing to put money that an automotive stethoscope can easily let you hear if an internal fan is not working properly or not working at all. It can also let you hear if liquip is running through the system. Good ones cost between $15 and $25. I'm just about to build my first computer tower, so I'm here learning of potential issues.
For the warning of when your pump failed, have HWiNFO run at low polling rate with only couple of temps (CPU/GPU, whatever is needed to be monitors) + pump RPM. If temps stay too high for too long or if pump RPM drops to zero/goes insanely high/is null then you can run a shutdown script for the PC, as well as probs a warning message popup.
First person I've ever seen using glass (?) to illustrate thermal paste spread ..... Genius!
Recently pc died and it has been a nightmare,this kind of video is very helpful.
I'm still using the x58 build, 11 years and it's still playing all my games
ASUS Rampage III GENE, that thing has served me well for 10 years. Have a 5675 clocked at 4.2 thanks to Tech Yes. Building her replacement now.
Or in the case of a Ryzen 5800X, it just runs hot as hell regardless of cooling solution because it's 8 cores packed into a single chiplet and the IHS can't properly dissipate the heat.
yeah my 5800x runs hot too
I switched to an aio water cooler and have temps under 56c. Definitely worth it
I have an aio too
I tried several AIOs... the temps still spiked into the TjMax under heavy load. I even tried undervolting it, but it became unstable. I ended up returning the 5800X and getting a 5900X which runs cooler despite having more cores.
One other thing, if it's an older system overheating and you're using a CPU fan, check the grills for dust and dirt. If there is too much dust inside of the fan grills, none of the air from the fan will make it down to actually cool the CPU.
Thankyou very much 🙏🙏
I was having issues with lower-end programs crashing my computer completely, only to find out that my AIO cold plate had pre-applied thermal paste on-top of added thermal paste to my CPU without knowing that would be a HUGE issue. Once I cleaned off the paste from both the CPU and the AIO cold plate, re-applied paste to the CPU, and reseated the AIO, everything has been perfect! So, be sure to check for this as well as those pesky stickers on the cold plates on the AIO!
Great info on this video. My System I run a Ryzen 5800X clocked to 4.8 GHZ, MSI unify X, 32gigs @ 4000 MGHZ Trident Z Royal running at 4266 MGHZ, Gigabyte Vision RTX3060 with a mild over clock, and a Seasonic Focus GX-850 PSU. With a Corsair H115I Platinum and my temps as follows. I run RDR2 @ 4K and CPU never goes over 62c and my GPU never goes over 70c.. 😉
Back when I upgraded my graphics card I noticed my CPU was frequently passing 90 and even sometimes 100 degrees. My case didn't have a lot of ventilation, I was running crappy case fans, and I had an air cooler on my CPU. I upgraded to an AiO liquid cooler and got a new case and it's been fine ever since.
Waw... extremely helpful
Just keep scanning your temps regularly, once a week, or once a month.
If they allways ramp up you got an issue.
I have my first AIO on my GPU, and this is very stressfull to wait when it goes boom.
My plan is to upgrade the pump once a year maybe, still cheaper than replacing the actual GPU.
Good video smart guy
I built my current system back in 2017. It has a 7700k and a 1080 and I play at 1440p and it's still getting the job done for me. It was my first build, so I was inexperienced. I bought a $40 AIO from Enermax, and it did okay for about 2 years then I noticed temps reaching 90c and above. Turns out, the pump had died because it was one of the AIO's from the bad batch that Enermax had where the pumps were gunking up. So, I replaced it with an Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo and it does a better job than the AIO ever did. Not saying air coolers or better or anything, just putting this experience out there in the comments for anyone that's experiencing high temps. Check up on your systems, people. Some people can leave their systems alone like consoles and have no issues and some can't. Better to be safe than sorry.
One thing that happened to me with an AIO was the pump appeared not to be working and CPU temp went to 100C just idling, but an air bubble got trapped in the pump. Shaking the radiator/pump allowed for the fluid to move once again. This happened right after I moved my PC to someone else's house.
In the CAM software there is a pump monitor that tells you the pump speed, so this is something to check in a NZXT AIO if the PC is overheating.
Same with ICUE for Corsair.
My favorite reason for CPU overheating is forgetting to remove the protective plastic on the cooler plate for my new CPU cooler... ask me how I know lol.
In the BIOS with most modern boards when you hook it up to where it says pump it can have a alarm that shows or tells you that your pump is dead or not moving the water efficiently enough again that is in the bios
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the fourth most common way CPUs can overheat: Because the user's a filthy animal who never cleans their PC. I ran into that problem about a month ago. I kept getting dangerously close to shutdown from overheating (i.e. breaking about 208F under load, but around 128F when idle) so I powered down to have a look. I had a handy tool to hook up 3/4-pin headers to a molex connector and from there to a power brick with a switch so I could test each fan individually without unmounting to verify it worked. Since obviously they were all working I decided that before I'd go tearing into the CPU I should perhaps look at the CPU fan and... that's when I saw it. A solid mat of dust completing covering the cooler just below my CPU fan. I hadn't cleaned it once since I built this case about 4 years ago. It took me a good half an hour of going at that with a vacuum, cotton swabs, canned air, and even paper towels to clean it out. I finished cleaning all the other fans and reassembled. It worked. I now average around 88F idle and maybe 116F under load. Lesson learned: dust is an EXCELLENT thermal insulator.
Great vid as always Greg. “Fix or Flop” reminds me of Leo Laporte and “The Screensavers” from a very long time ago. You’ve got a “winner” with that segment. The move to RGB has led to manufacturers cheaping out on fan quality and prioritizing bling. I have some older non-rgb fans from yesteryear and they are outstanding in quality and performance compared to today’s mostly garbage fans. Not saying all fans are garbage today……….but if you got a great price…………more than likely poor quality. You’re better off buying higher priced fans. Sure……I like AIO’s also………but there needs to be a way to know the pump is gone. Also, the fluid tends to get “scummy” over time………..similar to that film that forms on stagnant water. That will also cause overheating issues. You should also push air through a rad rather then trying to pull air through the rad. In relation to PSU’s……….please……..please don’t use cables from another power supply. The pinouts are not always the same between PSU’s.
I've been building PC's for 25 years and I've never used an AIO ... I just opted for Noctua instead and don't regret that decision one bit ...
Noctua coolers are great!
I can't feel anything on the tubes of my H150i RGB Pro, but then as it's showing 45-50 degrees when gaming I also know there's nothing currently wrong.
Greg is awesome.
verifying if the header is active is a good idea and if it is , your motherboard software ,ryzenmaster for amd boards and your uefi (bios) will show you if the pump is at 0 rpm or not and if everything checks out it will indicate if it is dead or not .
Me who has a cpu that doesn’t overheat: *I’M 4 parallel universes ahead of you.*
I have never really tested my cpu on max load but when im idle its around 30 when im in game around 40-50
Probably the maximum i got was 55 not sure about it tho
Im using a air cooler
Me who bought one of your friends before the shortage: I am too powerful to be kept alive
@@Darenz-cg9zg F
@@TheFalseShepphard exactly. You shud worry bout your gpu overheating at tht point cus if ur gpu fucks up, well....lets just say youre probably gonna downgrade for a higher price or just wont be gaming for a while
@@Buckheimer well i do actually worry about my gpu overheating. i dont like it when it hits 80°..... Yeah i dont like it even tho its fine at that °
I usually cap the frams or go for a lower graphics preset
And i dont want it to thermal throttle
It starts doing so at 83° it hits 82° in some games like
The witcher 3 and call of duty cold war and warzone
Just wanted to let everyone know, on this day 19/8/21, Greg has 666k Subs. have a niice day.
If you feel slight vibration on the aio pipe, mounting are fine, one of the 2 pipe is really hot, pump on full blast, that means the copper fins are clogged.
Happened to my ID-Cooling aio, somehow it doesn’t covered in warranty.
Nice video
Best way to diagnose a faulty cooler mount is to open a real time temp monitor, press/hold down the cooler onto the cpu with a finger and check for temp changes
Remember the case when gaming 6h computer just booted. Increased case airflow it increased to 9h but still lost good progress from witcher 3. Reason was overhearing CPU VRM. I had to add fan to blow that hot air out from VRM heatsinks. I had towercooler (Artic Freezer A11 and I11. tested amd and intel systems) and it blow hot air direcytly to case back fan and also maybe created air pocket for VRM and preventing it to cool down.
Edit:
How I tested. Prime95 and boot in 3 minutes. After adding fan it was running nicely over 20min when I stop the test.
yeah tHANKS FOR THIS, ME PC STILL Overheating but my corsair headset software monitors fans and my pump. i can see it running and followed ur video so ik my cooler isnt the problem. tahnks for that 'clear' look about the thermal paste. gonna try the 'x' now bc of that
When I noticed my Pump had failed, I held the tubes and noticed they were both cold. When the pump is working, one tube will be noticeably warmer than the other one.
the tubes should be hot if your Pump died. Thats happed to me. I didnt connected the pump right and the tubes were HOT
Had this same problem. Changed the AIO, that fixed it
Though unfortunately my 1000W Platinum PSU somehow accidentally died during the process, RIP
While it's not a warning of the pump being dead per say, but the Corsair iCUE software does monitor both the AIO fans as well as the pump's RPM. So if the RPM is 0 on the monitor I'd assume that would be as good of an indication as any that the pump is dead.
Off topic,but Greg is going wild with those 666k subs.
Didn't know Steve Terreberry now has a channel about computers. Cool.
One real common issue resulting in CPU overheating..... Improper case ventilation.
If the ambient temperature can build up too high inside of the case, then the cooling method for the CPU (and GPU) basically stops working.
I have ran into this a few times working on "fancy" PC cases were either the flow was too restricted or the case fans were oriented in such a way they canceled out air flow in and out of the case, resulting in interior air temperatures getting so high that CPU/GPU thermo-throttling and shutdowns occurred.
So, if you are working on one such computer and opening the case has the same effect of opening an oven that is running, check the case air flow.
Thank you. My pc Overheats on fresh startup up to 96 or sometimes 80s and it goes back to normal ( 30s) after a few restarts... usually like 2 restarts. I have the cool master 240 v2 with the 11900k cpu
About the warning when your pump failed. I've seen the option to turn on a pump failure warning inside the BIOS/UEFI when the board is equipped with a pump header. When the pump is not turning for whatever reason you'll either get a message on screen or a beep code (I've seen both). It's been a thing on ASUS, MSI and GIGABYTE but I'm not sure about the rest and I'm not sure if all the boards come with it.
i love that lotr ring
20 years ago I bought an athlon xp 1400 and improperly mounted the hsf. This is way before we had tjmax or any thermal detection at all and I turned it on just to see the magic smoke coming out from under the heatsink. So…I bought another one and then tried to mount the hsf…backwards. This was when they stopped putting heatspreaders on the chips for better cooling and I…crushed the edges of the die. Ever since then I’ve been extremely careful with heat sinks. Just pay attention because things can be screwy without realizing it very easily.
mine was so subtle. i was loosing fps in games i knew i never had fps drops in before. took me forever to realize my cpu temps were spiking when a bunch of particles were on screen. changed out the aio and it went back to normal.
aio manufactures should start to making aio's with flow indicators.
4:15 that's a very good way to demonstrate thermal paste distribution. I'm surprised I haven't seen that from Gamers Nexus.
I'm switching my AIO to something air cooled because I've been using it for 5 years now and I can see the performance deterioration.
OMG, there is ACTUALLY a modern techtuber that acknowledges the existence of x58, silently, in a shoot, demonstrating fan cooler mounting, (that's an x58 board)
Got a custom loop and a freezing CPU but imma watch this might learn a thing or two
Run CPU benchmarks after repasting your CPU or installing a CPU cooler to check temps and thermal stability.
I don’t have issues with *temps, and I’m already familiar with all that information, yet I still watched the entire video. That’s when you know you’re entertaining.
*my 580 runs a bit hot but that’s cause of its shitty cooler
also follow thermal paste installation instructions and break in procedure.
i remember a board i picked up where the thermal sensor showed 123 degrees in the bios so basically fans just ramped up to max rpm thing was actually about to take-off
Hi Greg, I've been watching your videos and you've encouraged me to swap my pc case from a nzxt 501 to a silent base 802 as I upgraded to a 3080 and there's no space. Any tips or videos you can recommend to watch to help me? Could you help me? In afraid of missing a connection, like aio from the case... hope u can help. Thanks, ur videos are great. The troubleshooting ones are my favorite!
Quick question, I have the NZXT. The radiator is mounted on top, do I direct the fan to blow air into the radiator (pointing up) or blowing air away from it (pointing down)? Thanks
i have a i7 3rd gen
and intel had graphics 4000 works very good for me
Something else to check, if the motherboard has the capability, is that the inlet air temp sensor is operating correctly, the servers I work on will power off a server if the inlet temp is too hot, if this sensor has failed or not reading correctly, I.e. too hot, then it will power down the computer.
