Stop trolling. No one knows why without a full diagnostic.

… as opposed to those ones that consume heat from the environment when they run.
I asked chatgpt to put my CPU into heat consuming mode and it then suggested I mine BTC to equal out the thermodynamics. I’m still trying to figure out where the BTC is, but it’s nice to go green
Ah a mainboard with a dust protection-layer.
Well, for the last… 10? 15? years, it would be just a slow sluggish experience. They under/overclock depending on cooling capacity.
This one is even worse than just removing the CPU cooler, because that cooler is now blocking the hot air from leaving the case via the rear fan.
A CPU without a heatsink on it reaches TJMax within seconds, so it would pretty much instantly shut down (just like in the title)…
No
The fan on my previous Intel CPU (bought a little over 10 years ago) went out, and that thing would shut off in seconds from overheating, even without load.
Those damned unreliable AMD CPUs, he should have gone with Intel!
Also not a good time to bareback.
When you use ChatGPT for buildimh instructions…
Someone stole the heatpipe!
Eons ago, I had a guy bring me a non functioning Compaq desktop and say, “Wull the fan was makin’ a lotta racket so I greased it.”
What he actually meant was, “I sprayed the entire motherboard with WD-40 because I don’t know shit about computers OR lubricants.”
I gave it a bath in electronics cleaner and it actually fired right up after that.
I love that they had the heatsink and fan, they just didnt know where it went and actually mounted it to the case. It wasnt just that they didnt have one.
I’m sort of surprised it fit on the 120mm fan slot. Maybe they just forced screws through the grill though.
Oh shit I noticed the exposed CPU but totally missed that part.
I once installed Windows on a Pentium 3 without cooler - not on purpose though - and it worked!
Well, installing the OS was on purpose, the CPU being without cooler not so much.
Apparently modern CPUs are snow flakes 🤓Apparently modern CPUs are snow flakes 🤓
I think you’re confused about how heatsinks work.
For reference: modern CPUs are a lot of hot air. 😁
I beg to differ. I’m fairly sure I’ve heard about meltdown on modern CPUs.
Are you really sure they aren’t snowflakes?
It was long ago but I was this dumbass. I kept reading online people said a fan was optional and didn’t understand they meant a case fan not a CPU fan so I built everything and couldnt figure out why it wouldn’t turn on. Realized fairly quickly and bought one and everything worked after that
I didn’t realise that I need to buy a power supply. I had a fully assembled computer and was asking myself how I can plug the thing in.
Also just bought a psu after and it still works like a charm to this day.
You can stick wires with mains voltage into any two pins of any motherboard connector but there’s a reason they’re not shaped like an AC receptacle 💥. Unless it’s a ZX Spectrum, that cheap thing used the most basic connector (3.5mm jack) for everything: cassette I/O, video output and, unregulated 9V DC power input from the transformer brick, and people would often fry it.
One thing I noticed and appreciated when I first tinkered with my computer was the whole “There’s only one place this can go” for the more critical cables. I did mange to mess up my fans, but that wasn’t a big deal.
Technically, a CPU fan is also optional but you need to provide some other cooling (water pump?) or accept massive throttling.
noctua have a passive cpu cooler, NH-P1 https://www.noctua.at/en/products/nh-p1
I don’t get the point. You still need an exhaust fan for the case. Maybe in an open air setup I guess?
Depends mostly on the CPU “TDP” (even tho nowadays the TDP is not an actual power limit) and size of heatsink, check out Streacom passive cases for example.
But the essential part in a pc is the heatsink, before the cpu fan (or any fan).
But that will not work unless in a wind tunnel of some sort
It might be sufficient if the case airflow is good. Not sure if you could avoid any heat throttling that way, but I’d guess it wouldn’t need to shut down because of heat.
There’s always natural convection - on a 25W CPU you should be fine
Honestly, I am envious of you, as well as the person OP posted above. You did something - learning from whatever source you could find best; having the determination and will to go ahead and sought help perhaps knowing too well you might be ridiculed. Because for the people that know this stuff, it is trivial and not worth of botheration. So the help is not enthusiastic - but for the new doer it is so challenging.
I wish I had the energy, time and courage of you all… Maybe someday I will but until then I can only love and admire your passion.
You just want something bad enough sugar
Tell them to switch to water cooling. You will get an even more awesome picture.
Took me a second, but not more than three. I snorted.
Must keep the fan cool!
