Do you have an aftermarket cpu cooler? Or are you using the one that came with the cpu?

I using noctua nh-d15 and changed thermal paste. My old man could not stand 4 years of operation in a blender.

Maybe an too little amount of thermal paste?

Может быть, слишком мало термопасты?

It's was enough >< I always cover the entire area of the CPU without leaving empty spaces.

Not sure if you can but measure the heat of the cooler? If the cooler isn't as hot as the CPU itself, it not spread the heat enough . Maybe the fan broke? Screws not tight enough?

I will check it anyway, but i think it's not a reason

I did a stress test few sec ago and it's was 97 degrees Celsius and throttling in first seconds

What are your specs total? Motherboard, Ram, Processor, Heat Sink, Power Supply, Video Card?

I decided that if I must change CPU, it's must be useful for my work and I see no reason to choose something the same or worse. From good parts, I only have a GPU

Yeah that sounds like a "All my parts are 10 years+" to me. Computer parts are ment to be upgraded pretty regularly. If your GPU is still good then you probably are fortunate that you won't need to buy another one since... well they're about as expensive as all the other parts put together @_@

If I could make a suggestion, go with an AMD processor. They're doing way better than Intel right now and I believe they tend to be cheaper.

Yep, i looked on Ryzen 7950x. Cause it's so damn good for blender. And it's the reason why i need to change all my PC x) And yeah ;D My PC parts +- 5 years old

I'd also grab as much Ram as you can. I currently use 32gb which is way more than I really need but for you, you probably want to push it further than that.

Yeah ;D I usualy using 64

Hi TKLsfm I'm sorry to hear that your PC is dying, I hope you're able to find all the parts you need including the motherboard, power supply and RAM to fix your computer and get back to making awesome animations once again. I wish you well in getting your computer up and running again. I said prayers for you to get the parts you need.

Aha x) Thx! I hope it's will be fast. I just need to wait few details from shop

De-dust the CPU might help. Especially if you not opened the case for years it collects tons of dust

Ahah x) as i said, i cleaned it a month ago and changed thermal paste right after first unexpectedly shutdown

I just mentioned it cause thermal problems are, unless you changed something in the cooling system before it happened, not an issue that happens overnight. It's a gradual degrading process.

Я просто упомянул об этом, потому что тепловые проблемы, если вы не поменяли что-то в системе охлаждения до того, как они возникли, не являются проблемой, которая возникает в одночасье. Это постепенный процесс деградации.

I know and decided so after stress test. I check all PC parts and only CPU was overheat a lot. + I Reinstall windows 97c is not a normal for my CPU
