So I hear we have some techy types in here and I was wondering if any could give their thoughts on my 2 problems.
CPU Cooling
Thoughts?
Mouse Problem
Again, thoughts?
CPU Cooling
I am running P8Z68-V PRO GEN3 (LGA1155) and Intel Core i7 2700K with stock cooler.
I have run into some high temperatures lately in GTA V, hitting up to 78 degrees. I changed the cooler paste but at times, I still hit the 72 degree mark where my software gives me warnings.
My problem is that I am also running with high profile ram, so I am a bit limited on air cooling which I'd otherwise prefer. What are your thoughts. Should I get some awesome 240mm liquid cooling and be set for potential future upgrades or should I just get a 120mm?
There is a few air cooling heat sinks that should be able to fit, even with high profile ram. Like the Noctua NH-U14S or Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.
Thoughts?
Mouse Problem
My mouse is disconnecting and only reconnecting when I click it. It's rather annoying and random. The distinct windows sound for connecting/reconnecting plays. I have a hard time believing it's my mouse since it works fine on other devices and it's rather new. I tried yesterday to see if my PSU was misbehaving with a multimeter, but nothing wrong there. It's the same in any USB port but it's only affecting my mouse so far.
It's a Roccat Kone Pure Optical.
