Welcome back to PC 911 Computer Repair in Miami. We are working here on a gaming unit. That unit was turning off after about 2-3 minutes on start up…it was getting hot. When it initially came in all the fans, the radiator was super, super dirty you could not see anything through that. So the initial diagnosis was just clean everything out.

All the video fans were also very dirty, the front over here on these hard drive base everything was pretty. Pretty nasty and haven’t seen something like this in a while. But even after we cleaned it unit was still hitting 96/98 degrees and shutting down after about 2 minutes. This is the old water cooler right here. Well it’s got a good water cooler but something was going on with it.

These hoses when you would touch one side and touch the other one was extremely hot. it was at normal temperature so something is going on as far as the water cooling system. So basically we are swapping that out. I want to show you that when you choose a water system you know there are differences. If you take a look at this one here you see the slimness on that?. Let me show you this bad boy that we’ve got over here now. I mean first of all let me take a look at these hoses they are okay two standard hoses.

This much more solid, much more rugged as far you know quality. Also take a look at this I call this a fat boy so you can see the difference. Let me see if I can show you them side by side over here. We got that one there and I am going to show you the other one right next to it. So it is always better to have more cooling than less cooling so whoever put this together really didn’t take that into account. They just slapped on the first cooler that they found there. So let’s put them next to each other like this so you can all the way.

Plus it a super heavy duty unit, it’s got i7, it’s over clocked the whole nine yards. So you do want to shop around take your time you also got to make sure that this is going to fit this unit here only allows a 120 x 120 just because of the space. Sometimes you can put a double fan or double radiator fan in this case we can’t because of the case so you’ve got different option.

We are going to swap this out, boot it up hopefully we should be good to go and I’ll show you the temperature when we get this back up and running. Thanks for watching.

Is your computer cool? See how you can check.
