Ryzen "2" ?

Does nobody do any custom heatpipe heatsinks for such boards, I find it kind of odd it's been a problem over the last 10 years yet nobody makes them.
Even like a 4 heatpipe jobbie with a thin fin stack that sits infront of the cpu cooler collecting the Air through that for example.
The Mind boggles, has this not been done before like a universal kit etc have drill can fit ?

You can get stick on heatsinks,but you would need to make one with heatpipes yourself although those existed in the past.
 
Absolutely in love with this 2600X! I originally had it running on a Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming motherboard, and I was not happy with the results at all. Overclocking options in the bios left a lot to be desired and I could not get the memory to overclock at all. I headed back to Microcenter and traded the board in for a Asrock Taichi X470, I also picked up a Corsair H150i Pro 360mm AIO for the CPU too. After about a day of tweaking, the results in the screenshot is what I ended up with. I was a little worried when running the Intel Burn Test. I felt for sure it was going to crash, nope, 100% stable! Max temps I saw were on the Intel Burn Test with 74.8C on the CPU and 72C on the VRM's. No where near where I would be concerned about it, in games I do not break 60C at all.

I will say that while most people say just let XFR and PBO do it's thing with the X series processors, there is a little more tweaking that can be done. Overclocking the BCLK (102 here), and messing around with PBO settings (10x here) along with a vcore offset of -0.80.

The Ryzen DRAM calculator is an insanely powerful tool. I simply opened it up, entered my basic ram info and hit Calculate (fast), plugged the numbers in the bios and away we went!

Looking good. You can do so much better with your memory though.

I haven't really seen a drastic increase beyond 3200Mhz ram speed with Ryzen. The looser memory timings kinda kill it off for me. Also comparing your Cache speeds to mine, I'll take tighter memory timings at a lower speed any day of the week.
 
The calculator will work as long as there isn't a reason why it wont. (If you get me)

For example, in my case, it seems my mobo or IMC on CPU (most likely mobo) simply can not do anything over 3133Mhz on the ram.

No messing about with calculators is gonna fix that. (I spent weeks with the calculator on multiple attempts)

I have used the Dram calc today, even tho the timings were better than the original ones 16-18-18 my Cinebench score went down.I think my CPU is pants 3,8Ghz and I cannot pass single run of the Intelburn test.
 
Update on my system: 2700x / Asus x470 Prime Pro

A month and a half into my build now and I've gotten it completely stable with 4ghz on all cores at 1.25v using the STOCK COOLER!. Those low volts mean the system is virtually silent too, and my memory is set to 3200mhz with the recommended timings with no issue at all.

Should be nice and cool with those volts. :)

I have not actually tried seeing how low I can go, still at 4.2 (dialled back a bit in this heat)

Hitting 67c max on Prime95, which is pretty insane because it's the stock cooler and I have it on silent mode (with a curve where it doesn't go into high mode unless it hits 70c).
Also like you say, it's summer so the ambient is higher than normal.

I'm just happy it works so well and silently because I love the design of the Wraith Prism.
