Are you facing performance issues with your gear after few minutes of use?
There may be many reasons.
I will tell you only one reason now for which this problem happens 99% of the times.
Whats a Good CPU Temperature?
A good CPU temperature is anything under or around 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) when idle.
Under load, the CPU temp resides under 80-95 degrees.
Some CPUs may run hotter when theyre in laptops or small-form-factor (SFF) computers.
Your PC is getting hotter from time to time by overload.
In fact, high temperature of your CPU and GPU can reduce your computers performance drastically.
3 Easiest Methods to Check CPUTemperature
Do you know?
High CPU temperature reduces your computers performance while multi-tasking, video editing & rendering.
Sadly it can also cause bottlenecks and lags while playing yoursteam games.
Its obvious that:
Your CPU will perform better if the temperature is tolerable.
Here are the methods to check CPU temperatures.
The simplest way to check the CPU temperature from a computer without installing any app is using BIOS.
Different motherboards bios have different interfaces.
But its nothing to worry about.
You will see a Hardware Monitor tab in the bios where you will find the CPU temperature.
It is a hardware monitoring tool that reads system data like voltages, temperatures, fans speed.
After downloading and installing this utility you could check the temperature just by opening the utility.
Intel and AMD have individual app to overclock and check the status of their Processors.
For Intel processors, You will need the app Extreme Tuning Utility.
For AMD processors you will requireRyzen Master.
Computers overheat due to the CPU being too hot.
If the computer is hotter than the usual temperature, quickly monitor the CPU temperature.
Additionally some other reasons include:
1.
Stock coolers cannot handle much heat.
Bad air flow inside the case of the PC.
Lack of ventilation inside the case.
Lack of intake and exhaust fans in the case.
Bad cable management inside the case blocking air flow.
Keeping the case in a congested place.
Here are the steps to lower CPU temperatures:
1.
Use a good CPU cooler for processors (air cooler/liquid cooler).
Apply good quality thermal paste every year.
Keep more intake and exhaust fans for better air flow inside the casing.
Control the fan speed of CPU cooler, GPU and case fans according to need.
Keep the cables in such a manner that they dont create obstructions to air flow.
Build the PC in a well-ventilated casing.
Clean the interior part of the pc in a regular basis of 3 months at least.
While playing games or running load giving apps, set the fan speed of the GPU to 90%.
Before advancing further, we will first divide the cooling system into 5 types.
Which are:
1.
Stock CPU & stock GPU cooler.
Third party Air cooler CPU & stock GPU cooler.
AIO liquid cooler for CPU & stock GPU cooler.
Custom liquid cooling system for both CPU and GPU.
Custom liquid cooling systems for CPU & GPU separately.
Now it is time to:
Choose the right cooling system for your PC.
First of all you better know the jot down of PC you are using.
Accordingly you will choose the right cooling solution.
You are good to go with the stock CPU and GPU coolers.
Graphics cards can be overclocked easily with their stock coolers but the PC need to have good ventilation facilities.
But the problem is:
Most of the processors cant be overclocked by the stock coolers.
So, you need a third party air or liquid cooler for that.
And if you are running a beast gaming PC then you need a custom liquid cooling system.
Well, Ive been there myself, getting confused with thousands of coolers.
A good PC always needs a good cooling solution to give the best overclocking results.
Not only this, coolers can:
Turn your PC into a Piece of Art.
In this article I will be giving you some fantastic ideas to cool your PCS CPU and GPU.
I will also give some instructions on your PCs cooling system according to its need.
Then I will suggest you which cooler is for you.
Air coolers can perform their best if there is a good ventilation inside your case.
And this is by Custom Liquid Cooling.
Custom liquid cooling turns your PC into a piece of art.
And this gives you the best overclocking results.
So, for this comparison I have used NZXT S340 elite as our case in the benchmarking PC.
4 fans are at 800rpm speed.
Whats the bottom line?
It may vary from PC to PC for different parts in them.
On the other hand, most of the smaller air coolers easily fit inside the case.
But few of the coolers are very big to be fit in smaller compact cases.
It gets even worse:
When larger air coolers make clearance issues with the memory modules.
Fitting an AIO liquid in some cases may be very hard.
But they mostly dont have problem in clearance issues with the rams.
Want to know the best part?
you’ve got the option to be totally risk free using an Air cooler.
If you get an air cooler you will not have to worry about any leakage.
AIO liquid coolers are often heard to get leaks.
This can completely ruin some of the expensive major parts of your PC.
Its your choice now to:
grab the most suitable cooler for your PC.
Else you’re able to go for an AIO liquid cooler to have a beauty with beast performance.
How to Choose the Right bang out of Cooler?
So, after reading all these information, are you feeling a lil bit confused?
Lets pick the right jot down of cooler…
Air coolers are the easiest to install.
They the cheapest and they give good performance too.
Now the some good air coolers perform similar to aio liquid coolers or better in a low budget.
Such a cooler is the be quiet!
Dark Rock Pro 4
Some people may find problems for larger CPUs like the AMD Threadripper.
And for this reason many people dont buy an air cooler although supporting it the most.
But your question might be:
Are AIO coolers worth it?
There are a variety AIO coolers on market now which gives stunning performance.
This is crazy:
When you find some budget AIO liquid coolers and they perform very well.
Such a price worth cooler is the gorgeous ML 240R by cooler master.
We have an article of its in depth review.
Be sure to check it out.
Liquid Cooler: Pros & Cons
Now you are looking for a Beast cooling system.
Disclaimer:
There is nothing best than a custom liquid cooler in Performance, Aesthetics and High Price.
It is obvious that:
Liquid can cool a metal better than that of air.
The good thing is:
you might build custom liquid system according to your wish.
you might add solutions of various coolers too.
you’re free to buy this separately.
you’re able to bend the tubes as you like to make it more gorgeous.
you should probably note that you need a good powerful PSU to run this kind of cooling system.
There are two types of tubing:
Hard tubing and Soft/Flexible tubing.
Hard tubing looks better but the problem is it needs all the fittings of the same size.
If you dont want those problems then you might use flexible tubes.
It also makes the process of its installation easy and worth it.
For the people who are upgrading their components frequently, I will not recommend the custom liquid cooling.
Gamers cant take their satisfaction to the highest level without having a custom Liquid cooled PC.
It comes with almost everything you better build the custom cooling system including the solution.
And most of the parts have RGB illuminations on them too.
My answer will be to use CPUID HWMonitor.
This app will let you see both CPU and GPU temperatures at the same time.
