| 1450533 | 2018-06-23 12:06:00 | I think the best option is to take it back to the people who installed it to sort it out. The temps are not normal. | apsattv (7406) | ||
| 1450534 | 2018-06-23 12:25:00 | Yes, take it back, I suspect the pump is weak, or U/S | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 1450535 | 2018-06-29 20:35:00 | IS there an update? | apsattv (7406) | ||
| 1450536 | 2018-07-02 14:01:00 | Hi, not yet, nothing has changed yet. I plan on taking it back to the original shop that assembled it for me. That was about 2.5 years ago so I am not sure if the watercooler is covered under warranty, if in fact that's the problem. I'll let them look at it and try to solve it. I have a work trip overseas in a few weeks time, just waiting for that to be confirmed. If it is, I'll plan to drop it in to them before I go, so they can work on it when I'm away. Right now as I type this it's sitting about 75 degrees. That's just with Outlook, Firefox and Chrome open, and both FF and Chrome have a flash page open. So nothing that should be too taxing to cause that heat. |

| 1450537 | 2018-07-20 10:54:00 | Hi, I have an update for anyone interested. As some of you suspected, it was the watercooler. I took the PC back to the shop I bought it from. They put a regular fan cooling in to test and straight away got lower temps. They ended up putting in a new watercooler unit in, right now as I type this (OUtlook and Firefox only running) it's about 26 degrees. Huge improvement. Side grump - they first told me the old watercooler was out of warranty. So we went ahead and bought a new one. Only afterwards did I find out the old watercooler *was* still under warranty. They had assumed the old one was a 2 year warranty but never checked to confirm, turns out actually it was a 3 year. By this time they had already installed the new one, then tried say it was not their fault as I had authorised them to go ahead with the new one. I told them I only authorised them to do that because they told me old one was not under warranty! Maybe 10% my fault for not double-checking myself. I was running out of time and really couldn't be bothered with arguing with them. They ended up giving me the new watercooler at cost and if I can get the old one replaced or repaired under warranty, I'll probably just sell it and cut my losses. |

| 1450539 | 2018-07-22 02:48:00 | Sometimes (as in my last one) the heat sink is attached to the cpu by the paste, quite hard. They were 4 years together! It was virtually impossible for me to prise them apart just using my fingers (no screw drivers allowed!) After reading up on it, I resorted to my heat gun. After quite a few goes, the paste did not seem to be "melting" but then all of a sudden I was able to twist it off. (But I had also applied some iso alchol all around the joint, but that did not seem to have a visual effect) Also there are many different view as to how to apply the thermal paste, pea sized blob, a cross mark or an all over thin coat. I went for the overall thin coat. That seems to make sense to me. And my Brand new Ryzen CPU and Heatsink came with a thin overall coating already on the Heatsink. |
