Hey guys!

I recently bought a Dark Rock 4 (not the pro version, since i really like my shiny rgb rams) and literally nothing happened... I havent done any OC. It runs at stock 3.4Ghz, yet i reach temperature of 80 degrees celsius. Its the same as i'd just use the stock cooler. Its properly seated, screws are tight.

Here is how it looks.

PC:
Case: NZXT H500
Mobo: MSI B450 gaming pro carbon ac
GPU: EVGA RTX 2080 gaming ac
CPU: AMD Ryzen 2600
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB dual chanel 2x8gb
PSU: Super Flower Leadex II 650W Gold


I really want to get ready for the summer, but with these temperatures, i have no hope...
 
I had the same cooler on a 2600x stock settings and it kept it around 70c

Check the cross bar that sits across the cooler, if it's not sat in the little grooves dead centre it won't seat properly but the screws will still tighten making you think it's fine

Also two exhausts and one intake isn't the set up I would go for, I would have two intakes and one exhaust
 
Well, i reinstalled the cpu, gave it a new batch of noctua thermal paste, the bracket that hold the stuff is seated well, screws are tightened.

Checked the Ryzen Master while doing benchmarks, same result. It gave ~ the exact same temps.
 
Just ran a Benchmark and also stress tested the CPU, The highest temperature recorded in HWMONITOR and Ryzen Master was around 58'c... Seems really odd your hitting around 80'c :confused:
 
I see it now, plastic protection still on! Will be interested to see the results now. In fact it's quite impressive you got similar results to the stock cooler.

I changed my case a few weeks ago, and I have the Dark Rock 4 Pro Cooler, and I done the exact thing as you mate, left the plastic cover on :eek:. Was kicking myself afterwarks like! :p
