why does my pc get cooler under load, and hot under idle?

    I want your cooling and paste/thermal pad configuration.

    Defying the laws of Thermodynamics is a feature I want to have.

    *yes i know it is a bug in the software and not actually happening o.o

  2. You’ve exceeded the Planck temperature. What happens to this cursed and doomed universe next is all your fault.

    I wouldnt worry its only about 9x the temperature of the sun. when it hits 56000 try and get a better cooling

    Your fan curve could be seriously fucked?

  5. Its probably because of the fan curve, higher temperature activates more the fans, creating a cicle

    flash the ports, refill the RGB fluid, remove any dust from the outside of your case.

    Now, the only issue you’re going to have is conductivity from the electrons in the RGB fluid interacting with the now disturbed dust in the air. I suggest grounding to a nearby wooden surface with a USB-B to USB-C cable, you can just rest it against both the case and the wood.

    You must have the peerless assassin super pro max 9000p

  8. Your fans on your cooler are at to kick into high gear at load?

    Fan curve probably. When load < 10% -> fans don’t spin. When load > 75% -> fans spin at full speed.

    Time to repaste. Remember not to overdo it. Australia-sized dot will do the trick.

    Has happened to me once, when playing a game it was super cool but as soon as I tried to finish an essay it got so hot it collapsed Into a singularity and I lost my homework. That’s what I told my teacher.

    second law of thermodynamics

    OP has the Flux Capacitor mounted on his CPU and lives near the LHC.

    You installed your thermal paste upside down, clearly

    It’s got Benjamin Button disease

    It’s probably your fan curve. The fans probably spin at a lower RPM during idle to keep the noise down

  17. Bright-Efficiency-65

    Probably your fan curves. They spin fast when the temps hit a high enough temp. But don’t spin when not super hot because you aren’t hitting that temp that tells the fans to spin fast

    Huh… I’d maybe suggest keeping prime95 open as to not experience a heat worse than that of the heat death of the universe

  19. fan’s installed upside down, hate it when it happens…

    I’m having a good chuckle reading some of the responses by people lol.

    Why is bro using a nuclear reactor cooled by liquid nitrogen to play games…

    I know what’s wrong with it, ‘s got no gas in it.
