Take a REAL good look at the picture you posted, Where is that radiator mounted?

.

Read closely.

I have a side vent in my case. It's the side vent, an intake fan, and then the H60 radiator. This is a Google pic, but it's like this, but on the side of my case and not the back.

If my curiosity is off and there are legit reasons for the points I made, I apologize. :confused:

ALSO, where do you have the pump and radiator fan plugged in?

Edit: Straightened out by, Mr.Scott.

Mr.Scott · Mar 17, 2016

OY.......Let's try this again.

Read closely.

The pic is not of his system people.

Yep, to much of the green brew today. Thanks, Mr.Scott.

If his radiator is mounted on the side... it would work; but, that would seem inconvenient.
It would help if the OP would post some pics of his/her system.

Just wondering... never used that MB... could it be possible the point he/she has connected the pump is going to a reduced power state at idle? And, not making a satisfactory flow of coolant through the system.

Thanks for clearing it up, Mr Scott. I have gone back to that post and bolded the words to make it more clear. So would a 1200 RPM fan work well for the second radiator fan? To clear it up, I would rearrange the fans and radiator to...

Side: 1 120mm Intake fan.
Rear: 1 120 mm Exhaust fan, H60 Radiator, 1 120mm Exhaust fan?

The H60 setup would be pulling hot air from the case and CPU as opposed to feeding it cooler air from the outside? Just making sure I have this right.

Aside:

I returned from a full 10 hour day of work. Reported max temps from HWMonitor were 88, 43, 58 from the MoBo.

yes, that would be it.

Thanks. And just to be sure, the weak 1200 RPM fans would work? The H60 came with a fan, not sure of it's RPM. If they were both different RPM's, would that cause issues? Also - Where would I plug this new fan in? Should I find another similar SYS_FAN slot on the MoBo?

Here is a pic of my actual board and fan setup. The current H60 is on the side where the "camera" technically is taking the shot. Where would I plug the new fan? Two front intakes plug into the board, H60 intake plugs into the CPU_FAN slot, the top fan into the PSU and I thing the rear fan as well into the PSU but not 100%. Been a while.

You can get molex to fan header adaptors cheap enough.

Molex one end ....6 fan headers on the other end.

Im on my phone and waaaay too thick to add a link.....sorry.

A fan setup over the waterblock and VRM's would help a bunch.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

Ghetto is a more appropriate term

I had an extra fan that just happened to fit nicely in there..

H60 intake plugs into the CPU_FAN

Look at the manual, Section 2-8 on pages 52 & 53, and make sure that that header "CPU_FAN" is set so the fan will run at full speed (in this case, the pump), Should be around 4000 rpm if you check in the "PC Health" Section of the bios. Same goes for any fan header you plug the pump in.

Here is the manual for board version 1.1 --> Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 v1.1
If you are using a different version... it might look different; however, it should still be in the PC Health section.

A ram cooler would work. G-skill makes a nice lightweight one with decent, quiet fans.

They are useless for cooling RAM (because they really don't need it), but the downward splash of air will spread out to the sides, with one of those directions being toward your VRM heatsinks.

chuck216 · Mar 18, 2016

OK I was confused but why would anyone looking for system advice post a pic of someone else's computer?

Now to be honest though I personally would move the Radiator from the side panel to the top fan position and use that to suck the hot air off the radiator, and then use the side panel as an intake.

I apologize for my confusion.

jed · Jul 19, 2016

Alright... I've done the following:

- Deep cleaned the computer.
- Moved the radiator to the rear instead of the side.
- Set my GPU and CPU at stock settings.

It still does it. Here are some more clues:

When I backup my computer, it shuts down. I try to run CHKDSK and "force dismount", but when I hit it it does nothing. Could the issue be some corrupt areas in my hard drive causing shutdowns?

When I try to boot into safe mode, it gets stuck at "avgidseh.sys" and it won't start in safe mode.

After rebooting from that safe mode crash, it won't load windows. A bunch of tiny black multicolored rectangles appear at the very top of the screen. I have to do a system restore ro reboot.

My computer is... fugged.

Borked AVG update. Un-install AVG, re-boot.

Reccommendation for a different antivirus? Less invasive, free, just as good? I've heard of Bitdefender, Avast...

For right now, in order to get running, and have protection with few resources, and no interaction needed by you, go with Bitdefender Free. Avast is my favorite, but it's a larger install, and probably not what you need to be worrying about now.

I am running and up to speed now after system restore... AVG is uninstalled. I will download Avast and give that a try!

thesmokingman · Jul 20, 2016

Ya know, Avast acquired AVG.

jed · Jul 20, 2016

I don't get this. What the Hell would cause this on startup?

Also, after avg uninstall, even bootin PC in Safe Mode will not let me run check disk. Rebooting after doing check on reboot does nothing either.

Did anyone advise sfc /scannow in elevated cmd? I'm not reading through 4 pages of posts after my bed time.

Caring1 · Jul 20, 2016

Graphics card issue will cause that glitch shown on the monitor.
Connect to onboard graphics to see if that functions correctly
