I would be curious how you find these perform, considering this combination myself.

So just done with my build, and temps seem a little high on the 3700X. It's showing between 50-60 degrees, using the stock cooler with pre-applied paste. Is this to be expected or do I need to repaste and remount the cooler?
Mid 70s I can guess. Stock cooler fan will ramp up and get louder by default.
I'm interested in Noctua D15S on low fixed rpm, 75c would be acceptable. These AMD tweaks and such are ok I guess - it's slightly different to an Intel but also cheaper so yay

Yes, scrape off stock paste and apply new paste. MX-4 or something better. Due to the position of the dies, i read it suggested to spread the paste.
1.0.0.3ABA is supposed to fix the Linux boot issue, maybe Destiny too (since I think both issues have the same cause). I wish they'd use a more sensible naming scheme...
Paste is meant to be very thin, the problem with the "spread" method is people usually put too much paste. If you want to guarantee covering the whole surface you could just use 4 smaller pea blobs instead of 1 big one.

Oh bugger, well that's a job for another day. Not only do I lack paste at the moment, I also lack the motivation to fiddle around with the cooler again!
The AB version was out before Destiny's problem came up, Bungie sent the fix to AMD a few days ago so I don't think is the same one.

OK update for evreyone, changed paste to Notcua NT H2, I noticed while removing the H100i the Thermal Grizzly had not spread well at all! I did it using the X pattern but when taking off the cooler a lot of the die was uncovered!
I would have liked to try again by spreading it thinly across the entire chip but I have none left.
Anyway the Notcua seems way more spreadable and I did 1 dot in the middle and then one in each corner, and we'll the results speak for them self I. noticed when putting the block back the block was more slippy on the paste (which is my experience with every other paste) where as with the TG there was no movement.
Idles went from 43c to 37c
Aida 64 stress went from 83c to 63c
So I think possibly the Thermal grizzly is a good paste but it matters massively how you apply it and I just applied it wrongly, I would have liked to have tried it again, but I ran out.
Having said that, I'll be using Noctua from now, fanatic results.
ABA =/= AB
Now you got me worried, even though my Idles are around 35-37C, and 73C during all core C20, otherwise 60s
**** I only saw AB lol Never mind

What cooler are you using though?that sounds like you have nothing to worry about

Corsair h100i
Nice, I am using a 360mm AIO, but yeah sounds normal I guess. Anyways I had heard with these CPUs application was important so I made sure to apply enough for TM to spread lol
You left everything in Auto? As in you haven't touched the BIOS at all?i'm getting 1.5v all the time when gaming on auto, cores seem to hit 4.3Ghz.
think i'm going to manual overclock for now. I can get 4.3Ghz with 1.35v Intelburntest stable.
that cinebench was manual overclock. well i enabled xfr, pbo and loadline to turbo, ram to xmp rest on auto
I was about to say that chip is working like no other lol
I did some C20 last night for a little, OCd my 3800X to 4.45Ghz stable. I am going to do more runs once I get the timings adjusted on my RAM.
