9950x with Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 - Hitting temps in the 80c during gaming.

[Acastus]

Is this normal? I did a stress test on AIDA64 and the CPU hits 95c on full load. It doesn't go higher than that but just wondering if maybe tweaking the AIO tightness to the cpu or something else will help.

Are these temps normal for a 9950x?


My System is:

Ryzen 9 9950x
64gb DDR5 Corsair V 5600mhz c32
RTX 4080
ARCTIC LIQUID FREEZER III HIGH PERFORMANCE
ASRock x870 Riptide wifi
Lian Lii Lancool III Tower
Corsaor 1000w PSU

What specific settings did you use on Aida?

 

[Acastus]

System Stability Test >>:

Stress CPU, Stress FPU, Stress Cache, Stress SYstem Memory (ALL CHECKED)

Clicked start and left it running for 15 minutes. The CPU hit 95c. It would sometimes go to 96c but never above that.

I've got the OSD on screen now with Youtube playing in the background and Grid Legends downloading from the EA App and the CPU is sitting around the 65c temp mark.

Just an idea but are you running it stock? Have you tried enabling PBO with a negative voltage offset..?

 

[Acastus]

Yes, running stock. I haven't tried what you said. What does it do, is it safe and do I do this in the BIOS?

 

[Acastus]

Something is def not right because when doing nothing it idles at 65c.

 

[LtMatt]

I’ll compare it to my 9950X shortly and let you you know, I am using a different AIO though. As asked above, are you running PBO enabled, or any curve optimiser settings? Or are you running stock?

 

[Acastus]

I'm running stock. Also, thanks for the replies.

I’ve got a 9900 on a x670 motherboard and stress tested it using cpu-z. I have a Corsair 115i platinum water cooled setup and it hit about 70C. Mine is a 120 watt part whilst your is 170 so it’s gonna run hotter considering the cooling surface area is the same

 

[Acastus]

That makes sense. Ok, the paranoia has eased. Thanks for all your replies.

Surely that can't be right as these coolers can cool a 300watt intel CPU and aren't AMD CPU's only like 120watts

 

[LtMatt]

Max temps 76c after 15 minutes. Valkyrie 360 AIO + Liquid Metal + 100% fan speed. BIOS default settings.

The Arctic AIOs should be good enough to cool the 9950X, however they are definitely not the strongest compared to Valkyrie or the Lian Li and Corsair H150 AIOs.

From a physical perspective are the pipes of the rad at the bottom so the pump is getting the water to push through. If not I would give this a try to see if it makes a difference. Also have you applied enough clamping pressure to the cpu screws. When tightening I go in a diagonal and only do a couple of turns then go to the next screw.

Pipes of the rad are at the bottom. I've tried reseating the AIO Pump and the results are always the same. Whether it's lightly tightened or tightened a bit more it the CPU still behaves like this temp wise.

pump speed, and fan speed?

ill assume the pump is in a fan header. fix it at 80%
is the pump is too slow your not pulling heat from the CPU...

if using the stock fans again set them to 600rpm and to step up to 1200 at say 50c
again if the fans are too slow to react your not pulling heat from the rad

this is why i like corsair for AIO's you can link fans to coolant temp... but that said i had a 280 freezer2 and it was top class with the right set up

One of the problems with this AIO is only 2 screws as is on leaf spring design, requires a bit of force to get the screw to grip first then all depends how big is your screwdriver I can honestly say I hate this design of mounting, and I do have one. Very easy not tighten enough or to much

Scenes as he didn't remove the plastic cover on the heatsink!

Might be worth a repaste

Yeah I know what you mean, not a huge fan of that either tbf.

Since you're speaking from experience, what else have you goofed up when building a PC?

That's a problem only if you attach to the motherboard first. I attached the brackets to the pump screws first, tightened and then to the motherboard.
