RaptorLake CPU's need to have the boost disabled in BIOS. Most are set to unlimited power, above Intel's recommendation, and makes them jump straight to 100 degrees and throttle.
Sooo i have a problem…one day i was taking a nap with pc running youtube. I woke up and my pc was in the “ gigabyte” screen where i can enter bios. It is mow stuck there and none of my keys work. So i cant get passed bios nor can i get into bios. After turning it off and back on a few times i finally got into bios and tried to force boot. But where i can select what to boot there was nothing there. Few buddies of mine told me its gotta be ram. I replaced both ram sticks with new ones and i still have the same problem. So then they told me its probably my ssd. Not really down to blow that kind of money just to trouble shoot. If anyone has any info on the matter please let me know
so he hasnt actully fixed it.
I think you should use RGB fitting on your PC cuz I feel like it will look a whole lot better
I am glad that I use fan cooling! PC is not a aquarium!
On my 3rd PC build (main use is gaming) and I stick to air cooling. It looks nice water cooling I cannot risk a leak or stress of fixing it if it breaks. Great video man glad it works out for you.
Corsairs excuse is pretty bad.
They should design their coolers to work with the CPUs they are selling them for.
This is like saying that your car doesnt have airbags because they are not sold to crash into things.
please keep us updated on it i love to see real world problems also helping me cause i am considering doing a custom loop aswell
it looked like your Mounting block still had the peel on it
What’s the budget option to cool the cpu? I’m looking for a worthy cooler. Always used air coolers with no issues. Custom Liquid cooling obviously is messy and unneeded stress. In the market for a budget aio, can tin recommend a budget one that isn’t loud? Running an Rtx 3090 and i9 12900k
Thanks
Not sure that thermal paste is enough
Great video. Thanks for showing all the trouble shootring. I would get Der8auer's CPU frame that fixes this issue. Edit: You actually said you are getting the thermal Grizzly CPU frame. Duh, I should've waited for end of video to comment, hahaha.
Man i love my AMD setup with AIRCOOLING from Noctua.
After watching this i think when i build ill stick to air cooled or AIO’s
lol how about calling out at the actual problem. It's not the thermal paste or the cooler (and I think you owe corsair an apology from that remark). The problem is the IHS of the CPU bending because of the shit mounting designed. This is 100% an intel problem.
I'm never doing this to my PC lol, looks cool but seems like a pain to deal with if anything goes wrong
could try asking jayztwocents for help the youtube watercooler pro
Adjust fan curve in Icue and create custom curve based on cpu. Ramp aggressively.
This is why you always plan a drain in your system
id rather use weaker comp and use air cooling… a water cooling what a joke
Have you tried using the backplate from the Corsair AIO? I have the Aorus Z690 Master + Corsair Elite LCD and it works fabulously, so I wonder if the backplate included with your CPU block is too flexible? As they are Corsair components all, there ought to be some degree of compatibility. It's an easier try, anyway.
I am using a 12900KS and never get temps anywhere close to you. I have a 10 fan set up and use a DeepCool Castle 360 AIO, it was recommended to me by the store I bought the parts from because of the CPU contact issue. I would advise maybe trying that AIO to cool the CPU since the Corsair unit isn't working…
"what are you doing step-Marcus?" 8:06
intel new 12gen cpus are quite bend thats why use a cpu block that is also bend and certified
I fixed my PC by pushing it out of a window.
Undervolt the CPU, I am running 5ghz all core and undervolted by 0.16 volts and it works perfectly and never goes above 75deg.
Don't hit me, but at the risk of stating the overly simplistic, there isn't a peel off film still on the water block between copper and paste? (one of the camera angles at 9:19 made me think there was writing or a pattern on the block)
Too Much Thermal Paste. Corsair CPU Mounting Bracket is the problem, each screw needs better springs to hold down block. I have run into the same issue before.
How much that block can handle "heat" I think i9-12900k was around 250W. With NH-D14 I had to set power limit to 210W. With Arctic 360 I have 240W limits and it still hit about 90-95C when doing all core processing.
Edit: tested with Cinebench R23. Intel XTU reported 220W and 85C
From my experience as a ship's engine room mechanic, any properly designed fluid system has drain and fill ports for maintenance. Simply including a drain port at the lowest point of the system would have greatly eased this issue.
My sympathy…. Never did the water cooling, honestly, as proper air cooling in a proper case is just good enough (for me😆)
Just buy a new waterbloock for CPU
cmon bro… a real true gamer doesn't waste all kinds of $$ on mediocre Intel builds. smdh
Pc should be like a plug and play device like a hair dryer..and not something we have to be a scientist to make it to work !
use thermal grizzly hydronaut paste as well
hello,
i have problems with my new GPU rt6800xt . i used DDU for drivers and redownloaded it i have clean installed windows. =>x5 times. problem is while putting stress on the GPU im get black screen flickering when i use my old pc and use the same stress test nothing happens and he doest it like a charm. that one is already 7years old my GTX980. now i have a brand new computer with all new components and cabels and yet this weird things starting. i think i have a broken GPU everything els works. i triple checkt al components and cables. also using 750W wich should more as enough for the components. im not good at explaining things and sutch. but i have tried youtube and google for 4 days and stil cant find a solution
what is that benchmark software?
CPU might be irreversibly bowed, i'd check with a rule or something. The washer mod to the socket works very well, but have you checked the flatness of the waterblock? maybe its got a defect?
Why didn't you install a drain plug on the bottom port of the front radiator?
I think you should get a ekwb sponsorship and give us corsair vs ekwb cpu block thermals :). The first thing I would have tried was replacing the cpu block. Second is that derb8r thermal grizzly correction mount.
The new hardware release timing joke 🤣
to be honest that is why I'm only sticking to AIOs. the amount of work and effort you did just to redo the thermalpaste is insane.
Just a question you maybe able to answer in warzone my new pc has some lines pixelated around ground loot and boxes I never had this on console but now on pc it has it the pc is high spec so no worries there I have seen a lot of people ask the question is this just a pc thing or is there a fix thanks for taking the time to read ?
Marcus please make a follow up video with the Thermal Grizzly install!
just use the washers its a 30 min job to take it apart and place washers in worked for me still a hot CPU but that's intel for you.
Flash the motherboard bios, it could be possible that the motherboard is giving too much voltage to the CPU and gigabyte is known to do this. Negative voltage offset might help.
Edit:GIGABYTE push extra voltage to CPU for maximum possible stability where the original Intel specs is already giving too much so uv might help.
Kitchen roll? Bro those are paper towels.
Try changeing the cpu block i would gyess is the problem
Fixed?
