re apply thermal paste - done
improve case airflow - done (5x 120mm fans 1-at bottom intake, 2 at top exhaust, 1 at front intake, 1 at rear exhaust)
still 102 degrees at render.
now tell me if that isnt alarming.
so i bought a thermaltake nic f3. stable 68-72deg max depending on room temperature (no aircon) i still think this temp is high..... id like to hover around the 60deg mark when in render mode.
when i render we are talking hours upon hours, sometimes even overnight.
an AIO water cooler would have been a better solution for me considering how i use the machine, but i was having doubts if i could fit an h100i on my RL01 case. it could fit but barely and didnt want to take the chance it didnt fit.
take a temperature reading and lets work from there.
REASON : Its a Haswell chip..
ahahahah...anyways you need a beefier cooler if that's your application. Im using a Coolermaster TPC 812. best air cooler according to
Top 5 Heatsink Charts on FrostyTech.com. I didn't use haswell chips for this reason, but 102C is quite alarming. Even with a stock cooler, my 17-3770k ran only 87C at max with prime95 small FFTs
