What software would guys recommend me to use to check if either my CPU or GPU are overheating, and also to verify if my PSU is fine?
I've been getting bluescreens and crashes occasionally (Windows 10), mainly when playing games or browsing the web on firefox. WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR and MACHINE CHECK EXCEPTION have been the codes I've been getting.
I've been told it is either a software problem (windows needs to be re-installed) or that my RAM stick is faulty or needs to be cleanned. Not really sure what it is, and I've already used memtest86, which says my RAM has passed.
My specs are:
i5-9600k with an intel stock cooler
Gtx 650 by asus (used, and which I believe to be the culprit)
Corsair lpx vengeace red, 2400mhz 8GB stick
Samsung SSD 860 evo, 250 GB
Asus TUF H310 Plus Gaming
Seasonic 520W M12 EVO
tp-link pci express wlan card
All the components are 1 year old, except the GPU
Thank you guys!

I replaced my PSU fan today with a 92mm noctua fan and it doesn't start spinning 30min into the print. Ofc it does take longer to get to the needed temperature but the outside of the PSU is pretty warm now. Does anybody know how to check if the temperature of the PSU so I can be sure that I installed the fan correctly?
getting some rattling sound if it wanna see however the fan is doing
Hi guys, i recently just swap my pre-build HP rig a Xigmatek Tauron 80+ power supply and a gtx 970. I found out when i play games, my PSU release alot of hot air ? I can literally feel the hot air coming out from the case, My PSU is mount on top right. I use a surface infrared thermometer and scan it, it is 50'C when load ( Dying Light everything max) and 38-40'C when idle. I can even feel the hot air coming out just by sitting normally. Here's my power supply http://www.ncix.com/detail/xigmatek-tauro-series-600w-80-c7-99818.htm
Hey guys, I have a Corsair RM750i and it has 2 temp sensors that are reading at 44c and 37c.
I've been trying to look it up, but there are no definite answers on what the PSU should be at.
Here is a pic of my hwinfo,

The two things I've replaced in my system over all these 6-7 years has been GPU for gaming improvement or PSU because it's died. I think the PSU has died at least twice now.. just something that recently hit me. Last time was a while ago.. at least 2 years so this rm750 has been great, but I am worried about temps.
my motherboard is at 33c and I believe the system temp was at 30 something Celsius as well in BIOS. my hard drives are all at about 30c. gpu temps 40c idle, under 70c load. cpu temps 36c idle, under 70c load. basically I'm just trying to see if my temps are a bit too high and that is why my psu's keep dying?
also another thought.. my psu fan is pointed downwards.. I've bought a CPU roller stand to try to keep the tower off the carpet (HAF X tower) but I feel like it might be better to flip the PSU around? but then that hot air would blow directly onto the GPU/cpu/mb.. not sure.
So in the last few months my computer has been shutting off randomly while playing intensive games. At first I thought it was a CPU overheat, so I would launch the games and keep a steady eye on my CPU temp. I did this with Speedfan 4.52, and I went through a bunch of different temperature checks. Checking my storage devices temperatures, GPU, CPU, and none would be at temps exceeding what was expected of them, except my M.2
My M.2 had windows on it and ran at like 70°C pretty consistently, so I replaced that, as well as converted my CPU cooling to a liquid cooler(which I had wanted to do for a while but this forced me) and the problem is still happening. At this point I've sunk near $250 and don't want to keep spending more without it knowing my computer is going to be fixed.
My PSU is the EVGA 850W G3 that I bought in 2019. I've read a few sites saying the most likely issue is my PSU, and also read that PSU's have a 3-5 year life expectancy but other sites saying they can last up to 10 years. I did check my PSU visually and didn't feel a breeze coming from its exhaust so I would be inclined to believe that was the case but I was hoping for some additional confirmation.
Below are my idle temperatures as of posting this.
Hi,
Question regarding my PSU Temps.
I felt the exhaust of my PSU and noticed after about an hour or so of intesive gaming it felt warm. I understand this is likely normal due to heat waste but i was wondering would this temperature reflect how warm the PSU internals are?
I have a zero RPM fan mode PSU (corsair RMX SHIFT 1000W) and dont often meet load the threshold for the fan to spin up but also worry about overheating due to no fan spining. The opposite end of my PSU feels a lot cooler. Does heat normally build up mostly at the back of the PSU? (even with no fan running to push the heat to the exhaust)
Hopefully this is clear, its hard to put my thoughts into words.
Edit: basically does heat build up most towards to the PSU’s exhaust even with no fan running, is this normal, and how can you tell how hot is too hot?

You’re fine. Good PSUs are precariously designed, if there was high amounts of heat it would kick in. Heat rises and the psu is filled with heatsinks that pulls heat away from vital components.
TLDR; high amounts of heat is normal, the fans would kick in if needed. If you smelled smoke however that would be a different story. If you really wanted there might be a bios option to have it always enabled, avoid using icue.
Take care!
Planning on changing my Corsair sf1000L PSU fan to a noctua one, and I am going to use the motherboard to control fan speed. My motherboard (ROG Z690-E) has a 2 pin T_sensor which can control fan speed according the the manual. where is the best place to put the temperature probe (the kind with the orange flat end) to get ideal PSU temperature? should I leave the end free floating inside the PSU body? Should I tape it to the back of the PSU?
Thanks in advance
hi so im having a issue my pc will sometimes shutoff randomly most likely the psu bc its a 250w so is there a way to see how much of my psu is being used?(preferably free of cost)
My build has been having infrequent random instant shutdowns under load. The only constant is that the system is under high load playing a game. My suspicion is that the PSU is overheating and shutting down Buth there doesn't seem to be any way of reporting on the temperature of the PSU.
-
Is this a reasonable conclusions? Will a PSU behave this way?
-
If so is there any way to verify it?
-
What to do? Will a new PSU behave better or do I need to look at airflow/cooling?
Note Current PSU is a Corsair RM8050x. System is an i9 12900K 64gb RTX3080
My Power Supply hits 80 Degrees Celsius while gaming. Is that normal? If not, what is normal?
Hi, I have juste built my watercooling setup and the temp near of my psu is at least 37°Celsius.
What is the limit ? 37°C is it safe for this psu ? It is a Corsair rmx 1200 watts gold, which operates at 480 watts measurated from the plug. The psu is hybrid and the psu fan triggers only at 60% that is to say 780 watts.
Thanks.
Hello!
I have the HX750i and I noticed that my psu temp under load was 49.8C. Is this temperature normal for a psu? I don't know much about psu temps. I have it in my case with the fan facing down where there is a dust filter. I previously had it facing up, but I don't remember what temps I had then.
Is your PSU normally suppose to run hot? I'll put my hand on back of my case where the PSU is and it's hot to touch. what are your thoughts?
I have a 3080 and a 5600x. I play my games maxed settings at 1440p. Yesterday while playing Vanguard, my computer did a full reset randomly during a game. My GPU reads about 75C, while my CPU reads about 86C in some instances. I do not know what the temperature was recorded at right before resetting. For my power supply, I have a 850W cooler master 80 gold rated. I don’t think the power supply is an issue. Is it common for computers to reset themselves if the CPU gets too hot? I would have to check the BIOS to see what that setting is at if it’s there. For my power supply, what could I do to verify that’s working properly?
Hi All,
Since I built my new pc, sometimed I get random reboots (kernel power error 41). I checked everything and my conclusion is that my PSU could be faulty. I would like to monitor the voltage rails over time (12,5, 3.5 volts) and get a report, so I can check if there are any fluctuations in the voltage. Can RGB leds cause such issue?
