How to cool down my pc?
Main Post:
Got my PC around June and I'm loving PC gaming. But I noticed that if my pc goes above 70-80 gpu utilization it quickly goes up to 85+0c. I was told by some friends that I should add more fans, since rn I only have 3 fans 2 intake and 1 exhaust. I went to microcenter earlier and the person said that I should water block my pc. Now I come to reddit which never fails me. What can I do to my pc to cool it down significantly? I have Intel i7 8 core cpu, geforce rtx 3060 ti, and 16 gb of ram. If you all have anymore questions feel free to ask.
Top Comment: Move CPU cooler to top with fans moving air up thru it and out, install some intake fans in the front moving air in.
Does the type of cooling matter when building a high end PC?
Main Post:
When your building a PC, there are a couple of different cooling methods, with the biggest two being fans and AIO liquid. If you're building a PC within the $800-$1200 range, cooling doesn't necessarily matter too much. However, as you move into the pricey side of building a PC, a $5000 PCs choice cooling becomes more important.
So should you stick with AIO, opt for something else, fans? other?
Top Comment: The biggest scams of gaming world in order are Number 1: gaming chairs. Number 2: liquid cooling. No game in existence will require you to liquid cool your system to run it. For any and all gaming requirements, from low to high end, nothing more than a decent air cooler is needed. Liquid cooling is practical only in cases where the system is thermal throttling, meaning high resolution renders or high core count workloads, wherein all cores are being stressed with considerable loads at high clock speeds. There, if the temperature can be lowered, higher performance can be achieved over sustained periods of usage. This means nothing in context of pc gaming, where components if adequately air cooled, hardly reach temperatures of more than 80 degrees Celsius. Lowering the temperature further does not gain any practical increase in performance, because the temperature is not the issue with the system here. The only reasons aios or custom loops are a viable expenses for gamers is because of aesthetics. People do not get it because it increases gaming performance, even if that is what they believe it does. People primarily do it because it looks appealing and attractive.

The description has a link to the nexus page: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/105061
You'll have to port it but it's really easy to port from Skyrim to Skyrim SE.

Top Comment: I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at, but if this is an exposed fan with exposed wires that your cat has access to, you should either remove it or fix it for your cat's safety.

How do I reboot my core to cool CPU down?
Main Post:
Saw a youtuber do it but can't for the life of me find it on my own ship, my core has started having temperature issues and I don't want to risk it breaking down
Top Comment:
Not seen that myself, but game advised me to open the core room to space too cool it down.
I didn’t realize core heat was a thing, so I opened up the doors in my ship to let the heat spread there because some areas are still quite cold.
