Hi. My CPU cooler (fan) doesn't work properly. I have used it almost 1 year. It went on/off several times. What should I do? Bottleneck issues or thermal paste should be replaced?


These are the specs for my machine:

MoBo: ASRock N68C-GS FX
RAM: 8GB DDR3
CPU: AMD FX 6300
PSU: Corsair VS550
CPU Cooler: Gemin II M4
GPU: Sapphire Vapor R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 OC WITH BOOST

You overclock your rig?
Pretty sure it's a power issue

Check your fan connection
Also could you tell us the temperature?

No, I didn't overclock my rig. Already checked the fan connectivity and its cable, they seemed to be perfect. The temperature was spiking at that moment because the fan went down and up several times.

Never mind, I just replaced a new fan and applied thermal paste. Now it works like charm rclxms.gif
