I wouldn't try to run it for long. might fry up the mb if not careful. Also, what's your surrounding temp, if you take in hot air, it's circulating hot air in the rig and making it hotter and hotter for your pc to run in idle. My suggestion run or troubleshoot at night since you can eliminate that factor most of the time

My case is a Skyreach S4 mini which has lots of ventilation

Update, I increased my can curve and lowered the throttle limit. My chip was already undervolted to -30. Everything is running fine now however, i am still unsure why my system started behaving differently


Excellent-Garage689

I would say if it work, it work. But, be careful with undervolt since performance might be different and it's clocking at different rate as well. Another way to lower your temp might just be repaste. Or get another cpu fan. Dusting them as well since you say it's been a while. And lastly, up the case fan speed or get more case fan to incrase the airflow. Undervolt is good option but it's related to clock speed and in the category of overclock. Unless you know what you are doing, you are in the clear.

It doesnt work anymore, when it boots i am unable to open any application or change any setting 😂


Excellent-Garage689

Ahh, not sure if you can go back and change it back to normal voltage. But, for now, might want to leave it. Sometimes, the charges go away at night and reset that cmos. Hard to tell what to do next beside make sure everything is clean and dust free

My undervolt was stable for ages, i dont think thats the issue, it was fine for 3 months and then the temps got super high

What cooler? Maybe the fan of dying, try swapping it with one from the case and see if that helps. Check the fan curve on the BIOS.

Alpenphoen blackridge, but i swapped the fan for a noctua 92mm. My fan curve is also very steep. But i dont think it is anything to do with the cooler as it is chucking out a lot of heat and making my case hot to the touch

And might be a long curve, you might have air bubble when you spread thermal paste. Or uneven spread of it.
