Liquid cooling

[appleseedcarrot]

I just got my computer, but im not sure if the liquid cooling is working. It says that my cpu is 91 degrees, is that even normal with a liquid cooling build. If its not normal, is there any way to confirm or make it work? Im using a falcon northwest custom made build.

Old gaming pc

So my dad's friend is giving me a custom built computer for free, he guarentees that its pretty good. One problem, its literally 5 years old. Ehat im worriex about is that as soon as i get it, give it a few months or years and something will break because the supplies are so old. What can i do about thism i dont want to throw it away because the man spent thousands of dollars making this and i have never ever in my life had an actual good computer.

What are the specs?

I would love to know the specs of this machine.

If it's Intel, then 5 years ago is fine; if the specs were decent for that time.
Something like i7-2600K or i7-3770K would do just fine, even today.
Biggest thing is, to keep up now, you want:
16GB RAM
SSD + HDD
Win10 64bit

But yea let us know the PC hardware specs and the Power Supply model soon as you find out, if all that was purchased 5 years ago, then we can get an idea from the specs what to do. Like if it would be a good idea to get a newer PSU.

Sorry but im not getting the computer until monday and he doesnt know the specs, and it isnt in his current possesion so I dont know

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Well yea, whenever... I was just saying. If you need help or anything, can just post back in this same thread if you do, or want to share the specs for feedback purposes.

Considering that he doesn't even know the specs of the computer he supposedly built, spent thousands of dollars on, and doesn't have it in his possession... He is pulling your chain.

He may be giving you a computer, but I would doubt the story. It just screams "I'm trying to be a cool guy and help out my buddy's son, so I'm going to buy him a computer".

My advice, accept the gift for whatever it is. Enjoy it. Humor him and his story as well.

When you get it post a CPU-Z validation link and whatever psu you'll actually have to take the side panel of to read the label on the psu but cpu-z will detect the rest.

He sent me a picture and what i do know, the gpu is a radeon hd 7970 and the power supply is 1200w

Oh nice, Falcon Northwest is great, should be a very nice system for you.
It's aged, but to you it'll be like a rocket ship ;-)

Lol yup, ive never been able to play any game at over 60fps other than games like cs s.

What is falcon northwest. Is that like a cpu, i cant find the cpu, is there even a cpu cooler on the mobo?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

It's using an All in One Liquid Cooler

The system was done via

So is it custom made or prebuilt
