RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

So my Overclockers 2:39pm order of 5900X has arrived yesterday(despite not having paid for Saturday delivery, thanks DPD!). I think the reason why an order placed so late shipped so quickly is that I used paypal balance to pay, so it authorized instantly.

The machine is an absolute beast, tried some games and video conversion with handbrake, converting a 2h clip on my old 4790K used to average ~100fps, the new Ryzen averages 520fps. Incredible.

Nearly had a heart attack though, as I installed everything and the board wouldn't boot up, with the "CPU" led permanently on, indicating either a missing or faulty CPU. Flashed the board with the previous version of BIOS(v13 not v14, but still with the new AGESA) and it worked.

I love that view in the task manager :D

Your radiator is installed wrong way round man. The inlets and outlets should be at the at the top to assist water flow amd maximise radiator flow.

It won't be critical by any means but tubes down is probably best.

He has since done a follow up to this video due to all of the panic the original caused (myself included haha).

The most important part is to not have the pump at the top of the loop as that Can cause failures.

The tubes up/down argument is mainly to do with noice levels. Tubes up is apparently slightly noisier. But no need to panic that much if you cannot fit tubes down for any reason, as long as your pump is not at the top of the loop.
 
Is there any reason why AIO would have that much air in the system?

from a hydro pressure point of view to push water against mavity is gonna be harder work tmr or the pump thank allowing mavity to assist water flow.

Exactly, I watched this exact video before installation. Without it I would have ran the tubes to the top since yeah, it seems more intutive, but tubes are meant to be down so that any air in the system stays at the top of the radiator, not near the tube inlet/outlet and isn't then sucked into the cpu pump.

They all do a little bit, no system is ever 100% airtight and there has to be a little bit of room for thermal expansion.

Apparently they all do. Most have somewhere around 90% liquid level according to Gamers Nexus on YT

Interesting. When my 100i dies I must remember to open it and drain the fluid see what it is...I would have though they would have filled those system under pressure.

my h100i definitely don’t have any tube length to facilitate bottom installation. Certainly never ran outlets and inlets in custom loop either.

this definitely got me curious.

Deleted. as already covered earlier in thread. :)


But you dont want the pump to run dry, so the pump should be lowest part of the loop.

LOL confusing myself now :P

Doh, I literally just upgraded my bios on the same motherboard to 1.4 / weird how it didn’t recognise the CPU!

You won't know unless you make an order. You can always cancel it if it's too high for your liking

Which as much as I like OC UK personally won't do, it is not a lottery, if something is available to purchase one purchase it else one has to be given an ETA, if you do not have an ETA they should just state that as I appreciate everyone is USING Covid as excuse for a variety of things when China has zero cases, zero restriction for months... (which is another interesting point)so AMD probably will follow that line.

I personally think unless one is desperate for a piece of silicon the best thing is to wait until January, there are literally no game that are penalized without GPU/CPU being released, not even Cyberpunk, and there won't be any until games are optimized for consoles either :D

Then I mean some people do like lotteries and the lesser smart even microtransactions so it is a free world :) but I am keeping an eye on here and competitor, the first one putting an ETA will get the money else can easily wait 2 months.
