My Seasonic x-650 Gold is nine years old and likely to go another nine. It has outlived a Phenom, two FX CPU's and more than two years of 1700 Ryzen.

Hows those waterblocks coming on 8Pecks?
Keep us updated, I've got a 3700x on b450 mortar with a h100i, temps jump around constantly, between 40 and 65 at idle, volts at 1.46
Well, I see lot of peeps having boost issues. 3900X here in Crosshair 6 Hero X370. RAM 3600 c16. Mine seems to be boosting like champ!
Nice! First one I've seen boosting properly. I wish mine would lol.
The temps on these cpus are absurd. Set wither 3 to download. Was intersting what idle temps are like when pc is untouched, reset min/max and walked away for couple of hours. Results: min 33c, max 67c.
The CPU went all thew ay to 67c whilst being absolutely idle, nobody touched it, why would it go to 67c >_<

Taichi or Meg Ace. The Ultra is just the Pro with WiFi and another m.2. I went with the Ace, but you can't really go wrong with either of them.
I think with these cpu's we need to think what normal temperatures are. They're 7nm with a lot of thermal output in a very small area. As long as your full load temps aren't silly, I think it's likely that low load temperatures being high is very normal.

It's more feel than see for me.
My boosts the same 4.65 (I've seen 6 different cores achieving this speed at different times, rest of them 4.375-4.425), 4.15 (all core 100% load), 4.30-4.35(all core gaming-Metro Exodus).
Cheers. I was leaning to the Taichi so I will go with that. Now for the ram!
Is it truly at idle? Even with something like web browser minimised it is still doing something. Just as an example, I was seeing voltages down at 0.455-0.8 on the desktop with nothing happening on the system and temps around the 27-32c depending on the ambient at the time.

Agreed. There's so much bloatware on most PCs that you can't always be certain that tasks aren't running constantly.

This fits with the idea that one of the chiplets is binned, and the other not.
Will do ..testing on stock coolers and noctua n15 will post my findings later this evening ..
maybe someone should start a thread so we can collect some temp data on these 7nm chips ..what there using in terms of cooling amb temps volts clocks ect ..

Good stuff. I swear by the 8pack 3200 c14. Never given me a moment's trouble and should comfortably do 3600 c16 (same bin apparently).
Yeah , that's what I was thinking when I saw that, especially that first six are good and second 6 are way worse (same as on djbully's screenshot above). Manual OC of all cores would be limited by the second chiplet.
3950X will be much better with 2 binned chiplets maybe
