Answer» I recently installed a 2 Terabyte SSD and noticed my computer is not only louder, but my Graphics Card has gained a considerable amount of heat. In December it was only around 54C, but now after a few days of having my new SSD I checked and it is at 75C.
Is this a safe temperature to be at? Did my computer get the coronavirus or something? I usually leave my computer on overnight on WoW and rarely ever turn it off (though I might start turning it off soon.) Is the louder sound from the SSD or the GPU heating up? How would I cool it down? (I'd prefer not to have to buy another fan to install.)
Before SSD installed
After SSD installedHi
Did you copy the 500Gb ssd to the 2TB or was it a clean install of windows ?. If it was a clean install perhaps if windows is still loaded on the 500 Gb SSD boot from that drive. This will help diagnose if it is a HARDWARE problem or drivers. If the card runs cooler on the copy of windows before the upgrade then it is likely it is drivers. Also is the heat sink / fans on the 1050 card dust free? Perhaps I mistyped my post, but I actually had someone install the 2TB SSD for me, so I am not sure on how exactly he went about doing that. Is there a way I could check on my own?
Also, I used compressed air to clean my computer not too long ago, so it should be clean.The heat increase is not just the Graphics card. Everything looks to have a higher temperature.
CPU went up 25 degrees, Motherboard went up 20 degrees, Even the existing Samsung EVO Drive went up 9 degrees.
My first suspect would be that whomever installed the drive somehow messed up the airflow in the case in some manner. Thankyou for the reply.
When you got the computer back after the 2TB drive was installed did you have all your programs and data still on it. I mean did it look exactly the same as with the old drive. If you check the 500 GB drive does it have a windows folder and a users folder with your data on there as well ? You could also go file publish report in speccy. Then copy the link to the report here. This will have the driver versions as well as the windows install date, if the Windows install date is the same as when the 2 TB was installed then it could be a problem with windows setup or Drivers.
Or more likely what BC_Programmer suggested Like a case fan was noisy and was disconnected maybe Yes, everything on my computer is the same except I had more storage. He installed the 2TB alongside my old SSD, so here is how my storage looks (nothing inside my old storage):
Here is my Publish Report: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/YixapMrtsbgFA7DrkolfkDS (I got my computer back on the 13th, and the SSD was probably installed between the 10th and the 12th (more than likely the 11th or 12th.) It is also worth mentioning that shortly after I got the computer, I reinstalled Windows 10 for unrelated issues that have since been resovled. Thanks again,
Have you checked BC's suggestion about the case fans.
Yes the 500GB ssd is blank so there is not another windows version to test with. It looks like the 500 GB drive was imaged to the 2TB which is a the normal way to do this. Also you seem to have reloaded windows 4/14/2020 10:11:11 PM , used driver booster to get the drivers.You would be better using the MSI drivers from here
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-GAMING-PRO#down-driver&Win10%2064
The motherboard bios is at version 2.9 the Latest version is 7A39v2Ls. With the computer using the Ryzen 5 1600 for the board to support that chip you need bios version 7A39v23 or later. This could have been some of the issues you have been a having.
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-GAMING-PRO#down-bios Thank you ma'am.
I can see inside my computer since the door is clear, and my fans look slightly dusty but otherwise fine. I downloaded all of the drivers in the first link you provided, and also downloaded the 7A39v2L bios. After extracting the zip files though, I am unsure of where to put them.
Edit: I tried using the MSI Live Update and it looks like it updated a bunch of stuff. Did it do everything right? http://speccy.piriform.com/results/JMVQhCXFOP7ZpLOoWDDhuyJHi
Using the MSI Live Update will have the same effect as loading the CORRECT drivers individually so was a good thing to do. And you shouldn't need to load anymore drivers.
If you want to update the bios it is better to read the "howto update the bios on msi motherboards". Updating the bios will not fix the HIGH temps just improve the computers stability.
Can you use add/remove programs to remove driver booster as this section of the speccy report shows it is on a schedule.
Is the ambient temperature where you are quite high at the moment, as a computer will normally run 10 to 30 degrees C above ambient temperature. Sorry, where do I go to update the bios? I removed Driver Booster, is it bad that it was on schedule?
I am in Southern California but it isn't too hot right now.Driver Booster is pure garbage...lucky you got rid of it.Hi again
The MSI live update is supposed to have the option of doing a bios update from within windows if you check here https://www.msi.com/page/live-update-5-manual
I would of thought that if you go into the Bios itself and the computer is connected via Ethernet to the internet if should have an option there to update the bios from the internet. Seems MSI doesn't offer this feature here is a u tube link of how to do a bios update on an MSI motherboard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgTokymDCcs He gives the warnings so I don't need to remind you of the risks, all care no responsibility
