im thinking of installing a water cooler for my cpu. thoughts?

Not something I would use.

"Why not go with a liquid-cooling CPU Cooler, such as the Corsair H100?
There are a few reasons not to go with a liquid-cooling CPU Cooler:
- Similar cooling performance, but with a much higher noise level, compared to high-end air CPU coolers.
- Higher cost ($110 for Corsair H100 vs ~$90 for high-end air CPU Cooler)
- More possible points of failure (pump, tubing and fans vs only fans)
- Risk of a leak, which can damage many other components!

In the end, a high-end air CPU Cooler is less likely to fail, cannot possibly leak liquid/damage other components, offers similar cooling performance with less noise and costs less." source, Hardware RevolutioN.

What are your temps like when gaming?

Remember that where a CPU is provided with a stock cooler and you change it for an after-market one, you void the warranty, so you do so at your own risk.

I would say your temps look OK even though a flame is showing on the GPU, this can go much higher and still be OK.

See if we can find out why your are getting BSOD issues.

Can you remember what you were doing when the problem surfaced?


Go to the following page, scroll down to Crash Analysis, download, Who Crashed, install and run. http://www.resplendence.com/downloads

Click on the file you just downloaded and run it.

Put a tick in Accept then click on Next
Put a tick in the Don't create a start menu folder then click Next
Put a tick in Create a Desktop Icon then click on Install and make sure there is a tick in Launch Whocrashedbefore clicking Finish
Click Analyze
It will want to download the Debugger and install it Say YesWhoCrashed

will create report but you have to scroll down to see it

Copy and paste it into your next reply

Download

Hi.
Thanks for the info.

Indications are, 2 software problems and 1 hardware problem.

Can you remember what you were doing when you received the BS, gaming, browsing, playing music?

Have you added new hardware like headphones?

Did you have any external hardware plugged in, like HDD?

Did you recently update any drivers.

Have you made any alteration in the BIOS?

Have you over-clocked the PC in any way?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to device manager,
Check the box , show hidden device.
If any flags, copy and paste into your next post.


Have a look at this page, then look in action centre to see any information.
http://www.vikitech....rotect-computer

Are there any actions to take?

[ston3wall]

i have enabled the turbo feature on the cpu. a few of the times when i got bsod i was playing portal 2 and dirt3. another time i was converting a vob into avi which was putting a lot of stress on my cpu. i did install a hotswap drive bay so i can manage all the hdd i have more conveniently.

[iammykyl]

OK.

Please keep going from

Did you recently update any drivers.
