Hey everyone, I've been experiencing some overheating issues with my Noctua NH-D15 cooler. I've tried adjusting the fan curves in my BIOS, but it's still hitting 85°C under heavy load (gaming). Any suggestions?

I'm running an i7-12700K with 32GB of RAM.

Hi John,

I've had similar problems with the NH-D15. Make sure your case has good airflow. Also, try cleaning the cooler's heatsink fins – dust buildup can seriously reduce its efficiency.

I've also found that using a high-quality thermal paste makes a huge difference.
