    better heatsink


    I argued a bit with my son about the stock Intel heatsink/fan when I did a new build a few months ago.
    I've found them reliable even with hotter CPU's than the one I have currently, and they provided good cooling.
    I don't OC, but he competes in OC'ing. So here I am again with the K processor and a Hyper 212 Evo. (Since he gets my cast-offs I think he has ulterior motives, but his suggestions are good and I trust him.)
    My case is a monster, which provides good air-flow with minimal fans.
    For non-overclocking and with that case and CPU he should have no issues with overheating with the stock heatsink/fan.
    Maybe he should look more closely at how it's handling air-flow.
    I sort of hated tossing that new Intel heatsink/fan - right into my sons hands.
    He didn't have any problem installing the Hyper 212 Evo, but he had to do it twice, because an end RAM stick had to go in first.
    It looked like a PITA to me, but that's probably because he does my new builds now. Better hands.

  3. CPU Fan runs constantly

    Hi,

    We would like to know the following information to assist you better regarding CPU fan issue.

    • Does the fan runs constantly fast or do you hear any noise?
    • Have you tried updating all the drivers of your computer?
    • Have you tried any troubleshooting steps before posting this concern? If yes, what are those?
    • What is the memory/disk usage in task manager?

      You may check this by typing Task Manager in the search box
      and hit Enter. Check which application
      is taking more memory or disk usage.

    Looking forward to your response.

    after disabling superfetch service and cleaning inside entire cabinet motherboard processor fan and still processor fan running too fast

    Hi,

    For us to assist you effectively, kindly provide us the following information:

    • What is the program that you're trying to run when the fan for your processor is running too fast?
    • Have you checked if there are applications running in the background?

    This kind of situation is dependent on the programs that you are trying to run on your system. The bigger/heavier program you will launch/run then the faster the fan for your processor will run to keep it cool. Running programs that exceed your device's
    capacity can greatly affect your hardware. It would also be best to check if the processor still has the sufficient thermal paste on it to help it keep cool.

    Regards.
