Suggestion for an overheating issue

[hlots123]

wonder, large "itx" with 2x 140mm at intake can still be not enuff fans?!
but some with zero case fans are ok - strange...

ts never mention what cpu cooler he using though...

directly into wall power point is the best rest of the stuff into another multiplug into another wall socket

My top vent opened liao, but no fans and the rear fan is only 3pin, doubt I can tweak its speed



Not using win10 but can try the replacing the multiplug

60c shut down is something wrong la confirm

If your PSU has a passive mode, then heat buildup under the portion of GPU shroud blocked by PSU casing will be quite immense atop of the <1cm clearance. GPU sag will exacerbate the issue.

Nothing wrong with the general airflow of nano s so far, except for the aforementioned issue that might be a problem for toastier cards unless the PSU used is SFX.

That's the only major flaw of this case and it can be worked around to a large extent (smaller PSU or blower card).

Bro, your gfx card isn't reference right? Then you should really just populate the Nano S with fans all over. Get matching fans as your front intake for top exhaust, then get a stronger fan than your rear exhaust for bottom intake. This way you still get positive pressure. Your AIB cooler card, while better than ref in all other scenarios, is a killer in ITX rigs. Unless your ITX has good airflow, the ref blower style always beats open air. As other bros said, that GPU is dumping heat in your chassis and it is being circulated around. Also, you might want to repaste TIM for both GPU and CPU, but just try the fan config first and report back.

Yup, mine is a AIB 980ti, would it matter if I just add 2 exhaust fans on the top instead of a bottom fan?

Tot of getting corsair sf600 to ease the choke, but hesitating cos the reviews I read with the short wires the sf600 comes with.

did u try to put it back to default setting?..... go inside bios and load optimize default setting...play game and see got anymore crash...see got same issue or not

You undervolt to lowest setting but you set what clockspeed??

Did that, still crashed.

Didnt change the clockspeed, just lower the temp threshold and the power % drops along with it.

My friend had the samw issue. Trouvleshoot all the components. End up is the motherboard problem.

Yesterday I did all the changes you guys recommended and did some of my own testing and found that it is still shutting down by itself.

The choke point between the psu and gpu gets very hot, maybe that the reason why it turns off by itself. All the way, the psu fan didnt turn on regardless of how hot the surrounding becomes. Maybe I should get that Corsair SF600 to give clearance to the psu and gpu.

Is 600W enuff or I should change the gpu also to accommodate the wattage?

Side note, the cpu cooler is always very cool, is it normal even when the temp in the screen shows 50 degrees?

 

[superzheny]

Lol seriously.. Op claim overheating, never ask any questions, first thing do is to suggest spend money on fans, which has the lowest yield of all $$ spent..

Before u spend all your money on useless expensive fans, open up your side panel, direct a desk fan and blast it into your pc, if it still "overheats", no amount of gentle typhoons can help you.

Anyway it's unlikely to be over heating issue. Go check your psu, never read fully your thread but if your psu fan never spin even under load then maybe ur psu fan spoil causing psu to overheat and safety mechanism to kick in.

In normal conditions even at 1.4V a skylake takes <120W non-avx max load stress testing. You have <480W for the rest of the system so..
Gaming on a heavy title wise its still likely to be <80W through the CPU.

While ts isn't providing all the necessary context in the op, he's providing some of it on the later posts... you should check them out and know what are the limitations of the nano s as well. On an open air cooler at least one fan will have <1cm air intake space above a PSU casing that radiates additional heat.

Thanks for the info. Guess I should have research on the Nano S drawbacks more before trying a ITX form.

Hi,

Any suggestion to improve my current setup?

I currently have 2 140mm front intake fans and one 120mm exhaust fan. I find that if I remove my side panel, the PC won't shutdown under heavy gaming(BF1).
Should I add 2 more exhaust fans to pull out the hot air or add another fan intake on the bottom?

Please put the bottom fan in. You need to move the heat dumping around the PSU and GFX card. Your AIB 980ti is dumping a lot of heat there.

Ok, I just read that you tried that and you're still having this issue. Does your PSU have a way to disable passive mode and have the fan turn on no matter what? You'll need to enable that mode. Also, as superzheny said, before spending any more money, maybe you should test without the GPU in. Just use the onboard gfx and go play stuff like dota 2 or whatever or just run benchmarks. Get it under load and see if it still crashes. If it doesn't, then we can definitively say it is because of the open air cooler and psu choke point. If we can at least pinpoint that, you'll be able to find a solution. For now, it could be anything. PSU, mobo, gfx, who knows.
