nothing happened, you could do it everyday]]> Fri, 05 Apr 2024 19:03:19 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=34405&PID=116700&title=accidentally-left-fan-speeds-low-while-gaming#116700 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=34405&PID=116690&title=accidentally-left-fan-speeds-low-while-gaming#116690 Author: Xaltar

It's unlikely that the system was damaged given the thermal protections built in
to modern motherboards. I would still avoid running the system on low fans while
under load in future, it can shorten the lifespan of the components to run at
thermal limits for prolonged periods. In your case however, you should be fine.]]> Fri, 05 Apr 2024 12:51:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=34405&PID=116690&title=accidentally-left-fan-speeds-low-while-gaming#116690 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=34405&PID=116686&title=accidentally-left-fan-speeds-low-while-gaming#116686 Author: john37788

Dear all,

on my B550 Taichi + 5950x, I have made an accidental mistake - which was to leave all fans operating at "minimum" speed possible, hard coded.

As I had HWInfo running anywasy, I looked at some temperatures after I have player for ~45min.

Are these temps already troublesome? Did I potentially damage my board or components on it?

Some temperatures from HWInfo:
- "VR Loop 1" was at 64°C
- Motherboard was at 54°C
- 5950X was at 90° - hitting the thermal limit
- 5950X IO Die was at ~43°C

Thank you very much in advance!]]> Fri, 05 Apr 2024 05:15:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=34405&PID=116686&title=accidentally-left-fan-speeds-low-while-gaming#116686
