Is it worth going to 1.80 then?

ASROCK X570 TAICHI - THE RYZEN 3000 MOTHERBOARD GIBBO & 8 PACK RECOMMENDS
I tried it.. ruined my RAM overclocking (4*8GB B-die).. couldn't get 3600 stable at even awful timings (even CL20).. flashed back to 1.70A and back to 3600 CL14 immediately..
I've seen other people saying no issues though so YMMV..
I'm skipping it though.

You would think somebody would come up with something given how many people aren't happy with that fan on their board. Over on another forum (are we allowed to reference that?) someone replaced the SB thermal pad with a Thermal Grizzly Pad & claims to have reduced the SB temp by around 10c although they also have a water cooled gpu.

I was going to do this, did they do it on the Taichi? I'd heard the pad was quite thick so may not make good contact when removed.

Yeah, on the Taichi. They have pics up on there of what they did, it seems like the pad they used was thick enough.
Good to knowYes you can mention Reddit

1.80 definitely boosts better for me, seeing 4.35ghz on multiple cores, previously was seeing 4.3 max.
Mine is going to 4.525Mhz on Auto using BIOS 1.70A. When I went to 1.80 my Infinity Fabric because unstable to I had to roll back.
On a different note, even though for me the fan was not a problem, I ended up getting a vertical mount bracket so it can breathe better. I upgraded to a 2080ti so I used it as an excuse to buy a bracket too. Will compare temps later since these past 2 or 3 the weather has been boiling. I am going to check the TG Thermal Pads out.
This is how it looks at the moment.

I really like the look of your build @Nghtmare - do you have a build thread or more pics of it?
I'm planning a build at the moment and that case of yours has caught my eye!
Sorry for the OT

No I don't have a threat, most of the description is in my signature but feel free to ask if you want to know anything. I can take more pictures when I get home from work if you want.I really like the look of your build @Nghtmare - do you have a build thread or more pics of it?

What thickness of pad are you going for? Noticed there are a few options.
I had the same issue, a reinstall of Windows has seemingly fixed it. Also turn PBO off.
According to what I read 1.5mm is the one to use. I am not sure yet if I am going to do it since I have to take out everything from the case just to change the pad :/

Planning to do replace the chipset TIM with it? I've been contemplating the same, either paste or decent pad as the chipset is by far the loudest thing still. Just can't be bothered to take it all apart at the moment. Might buy a new case and do it at the same time.
It seems that the Thermal Grizzly pad can drop like 8-10C off it automatically because its much better. I just dont feel like taking everything apart at the moment

10 degrees would be a cracking result. I'll order some and try next weekend.
I ended up ordering it, I'll give it a go on Friday
