Room temperature seems to be affecting system stability x870e Hero

Hi all,

I have a x870e Hero board. I've had a number of stability issues which I believe I have fixed all of them. But in the last week I started having stability issues again, it's like my computer is choking and locking up. I'm starting to believe that my actual room temperature maybe a factor. I rent a room (the warmest room of the house), but the house temperature has been raised too high to make the heater run all the time. Currently while typing this, its 53 degrees outside (72-74 inside) I have control over the thermostat and these issues seem to be a non-issue for this moment of time. I have a lian-li 011Vision Compact, 3 intact fans on the bottom, 3 exhaust fans attached to my AIO on the right side of the motherboard. So, I added 2 exhaust fans to the back of the case thinking more exhaust would help pull the heat away from my processor (assuming this is the issue). It did not solve my issue. Then I thought maybe I should make the back intake. Unfortunately, that did not either. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi, make sure you have removed the plastic film from the pump cooling plate, don't put too much thermal paste on the CPU, don't place the AIO pipes above the CPU if the AIO is vertical, in this case place the radiator pipe outlet at the bottom.
If this is not possible place the AIO at the top of the case.

So, I should flip the Screenshot 2025-01-29 124354.jpgradiator part of my AIO, so the AIO pipes go downward like my blue arrow shows?

Hi @robjs76 

Most issues of this nature are down to memory overclocking stability. How have you established stability with EXPO enabled? 

Does the behaviour persist at Optimised Defaults?

I actually have another post on this forum in regard to a different issue and I wonder if indirectly/potentially are connected. I just cleared the bios and setup more modest memory settings, I accidently forgot to set Platform Thermal Throttle Limit setting which I had it set to 70. If you look at my AIO temps from the image I posted. that's what I'm currently getting with the current modest memory settings. However, the CPU Package has reached to 72 degrees. I'm thinking Thermal Throttle Limit setting at 70 was rebooting my system. but right before it restarted, I had stability issues. Since I changed the bios settings I have reached 72 degrees several times without reboot. I had changed that setting to 70 originally because my system would suddenly rev up to 91-99 degrees and totally shut down. It was freaking me out. I figured 70 was modest and prevent 91-99. Curiosity question, if the UCLK was too low, could that be an issue? 

It's hard to say vicariously with things such as this. I would still presume the memory overclock to be unstable until you're able to confirm the behaviour at Optimised Defaults without running EXPO or any kind of OC.
