New build temps

[AndyByford]

Hi,

Just wondered if these temps were about right for the system I have just built:

5900x using cinebench multi core:
35°c-40°c idle
65-70°c full load

3080Ti topped out at 72°c running heaven benchmarks on extreme.

Do these seem about right and does this leave some room to overclock?

Thanks.

CPU sounds fine, but you need to list specs such as case, fans (curve settings), fans on CPU and GPU?

No idea about 3080, could well be fine for that model?

Looks about right, although in this review they didn't use exactly the same programme to heat up the GPU.

I wouldn't recommend manual overclocking anymore - maybe consider Clocktuner for the CPU if you're comfortable installing it - otherwise you're as likely to lose performance as gain it these days when manually overclocking.

My full build is as follows:

Ryzen 9 5900x
Nvidia 3080Ti FE
B550-F ROG Strix
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 32gb
1TB Firecuda M.2
Corsair H150i Elite Capellix White
Corsair RM850x White 850w Gold
Lian-Li O11 Dynamic White
Corsair LL120 RGB fans x 6 (3 x intake side, 3 x intake bottom)

Fan curve is set to turbo which seems to really start to kick in heavy at around 50-60 degrees

Thanks for the replies. If OC isn't really an option was thinking of undervolting slightly to lose a couple of degrees from the CPU.

Temps look fine to me.

You can try OCing if you want but hardly worth it these days as most of the stuff is already pre overclocked for you and runs very close to max potential.

I've undervolted the CPU by -20 rather than try OC it. It has been running stable for around 4 hours now, what's the best way to test if this will remain stable?

Pulls in 4.949mhz on boost with the higher headroom and improved my Passmark from 8899 up to 9140. Temps max out at 69 when stressing with Prime95.

Undervolting is a good idea - I do it too on my (admittedly earlier generation, much cheaper) Ryzen system. Both for my GPU and CPU.

My experience with undervolting is you can be Prime stable for 24 hours, but then get crashes in different workloads. I don't pretend to know why this is. I'd run Prime as you would for Overclocking (some are happy with 15 mins, some insist on 48 hours) then run your PC normally and if you get crashes bump up the voltage a little.

I'd avoid tuning memory or anything else that could potentially cause crashes for a couple of weeks with a stable system - so that you're not having to diagnose multiple potential causes when you get a crash.
