Hey again, i have done some tests and i have some news and updates.
First off i have changed the thermal paste on the GPU (Noctua NT-H1) and everything went fine there i'm pretty sure.
Pics:
The pc, with the side removed.
Side panel, with the fans and "grill" i mentioned in my other posts.
The card disassembly, with old thermal paste.
Close up on the old thermal paste.
Removal of the old thermal paste, nothing special.
And here is the new thermal paste applied, i used a "credit card" formed object to spread it out.
Finally all put together and back in the case.
I know it's maybe many pictures, but i thought it would be funny to share my progress.
And if anyone have a opinion, or how i should do.
The temps after the replacement of thermal paste seems to be better then before, used a more aggressive profile for the fan and it seems i have get my first result of success! :)
This was with the side off, and my room temperature was 26,7C at the moment testing took place.
In this picture you can see that i didn't hit my 82,5C temp limit that the throttling starts and my first proof of improvement after changing the thermal paste.
The stress test i used was Crysis 3, and it run for about 30-40 minutes.
But after all this a problem occurred, when i first ran the tests everything was normal and that was about 2 hours the pc was on without any issues.
And the problems that occurred was that the pc froze and nothing more to it, i restarted and tried again but same thing.
Tried restarting and entering "safe-mode" and that was successful without any issues at all.
So after that i thought hmm how about i change the BIOS in the graphics card to second and try again, and now i haven't had any problems so far.
Since i have a flashed BIOS i tried that and working so far (~60 min), should i flash back to the original bios?
I'm tired of errors and high temps -.-
I know this post is a bit long, and i appreciate the people reading it and trying to help me!
So Thank You, and i hope i get this solved.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Turned out that when i should upload one more photo, my iPhone cable was broken and caused the freezing and shutdown of the pc.
So i switched back to the flashed bios and everything works fine!
And this also cost me 1 USB 3.0 port during investigation (R.I.P.) :(
I have x2 120mm lying around, any good suggestions on how or if it's worth applying them for use?
