AIO for 3900X

Nice.

Unfortunately as I have an x9 case, and the mobo lies flat, I have the 3 fan cables going top to bottom and its impossible to hide them without getting some fan lead extensions.

Profiles are odd. Performance has pump at max and fans 1000RPM (max is 1670). Balanced reduces pump speed, which triggers the fans to ramp up to an audible level (1000 is barely noticeable, 1670 is intrusive enough). I could tweak them a fair bit I imagine. But I've decided to just set it at Performance and pushed the settings to the device as default.

Disabled Link from starting and the service and we're done.

Not comfortable about the thumbscrews. I'd noticed I could tighten one a little more so did, but it was a bit rough to tighten, hard then easy then hard as it threaded in, only by hand. No idea how but there was some thermal paste on the clip where the screw meets it, must have been on my hand from the clean up job of the stock cooler. So I loosened it all up and cleaned it and then re-tightened with fingers. I put some effort in, but didn't use a screw driver. I think with thumb tightening you can still bottom out the screw, which is nice to know.

Temps at idle 25-28c
Cinebench 64-65c
Prime (for 17mins) 50c-67c depending on stage.

So not a massive difference from stock cooler, but basically silent, and enough temp difference for it to boost to 4150 sustained on a cinebench run, Id normally drop down to 4075 once it has warmed up.

Worth £130 in my mind to not hear the cooler. It did take me some time to make the leap though.

The sound is probably worth it alone, the extra bit of performance a bonus :D thanks!

Hi what was your idle temps with stock and what was your max mate please

Think I posted this already, so hopefully not contrary to that.

34c idle and North of 70 in cinebench after a few runs.

I think its important to say that that was with the stock cooler in Low mode too.

So 7-9 less at idle and 7-8c off under load.

I'm still shocked that you got into the 70's with the stock cooler in CB20, I get approx 73°C with a Noctua NH-D15 with a single fan? Either you had a miracle stock cooler or mine sucks :D

And that was with Low profile. I have an x9 core case with some decent air flow. I was very impressed with the cooler in general.

I acknowledge many seemed to quote higher temps, which surprised me too.

Should say I do run a - 0.1v offset.

When you next run CB20 multi core with stock settings please could you let me know what the max CPU voltage is? That'll give me a reference point?

Thanks :)
 
This is at Auto.

My volts flip between 1.296 and 1.308

Notice the 70.3, I thought that was strange so graphed it for a while, it seems to hit it for a fraction of a second. However temps are consistently around 63c under load in cinebench other than that anomaly. So better than my Normal -0.1v offset.

I notice my boosts and score are worse though with Auto voltage. I normally get 7400ish give or take 12.

set fixed voltage and see what you get.

not done this before. what voltage do i pick? Dont really want to do trail and error, -0.1v has always been golden for me.

Also worth saying my chip boosts easily to 4600-4650 on CCD0 and 4350-4400 on CCD1 in single core loads, but I think it needs 1.45v for that to happen, which it gets on Auto or Normal with an offset up to 0.1v. So dont want to loose that.

only for comparisons - if you set your voltage to 1.3v and I set mine to 1.3v you can compare temps and frequency (1.3v just picked out of thin air)

Don't have CB20 to compare temps with my 3900x. Is that with your fans at max
