Hey guys..having read through every page so far I have to say I must have one of the worst 5800x-s of all of us unfortunately...I got mine from Bolton about 3weeks ago..had a b550 e gaming which I had to send back due to vrm buzzing but had the same temps as I have with my x570 e gaming which are horrendous..
Ive pbo on latest bios, +300 auto oc, manual te p limit of 89, I idle in the 50s, game in the 70s(metro exodus, ac Valhalla), sometimes 80 (cod cold war, cp77), cinebench r20 multicore 5750-ish on a "good day" lol,meaning a roomtemp of around 22C, but my room is usually in the 24-25s and then I only can get around 5650 r20 multic....
When I take the manual temp limit off in bios in prime Ive seen my temps shoot to 116C, no jokes mates, turned prime right the heck off...this chips perf wise is as expected from all the reviews but temp wise is a sore freakkin looser...
Oh ,forgot to say.. started out with a x62 I had on my 8700k, temps were even higher than ones mentioned above so I thought Id order the "apparently" best in class arctic freezer 280....
Remounted it right side up, upside down sith mx4 paste smeared equally with a gloved finger, pea methid, 3dot method, oh yea smear metbod again with a tiny plastic spatula, x method...literally nothing helps..yes, yes my aio pump is plugged into the aio pump header on the mobo and is running 100% speed.
Honestly from what Ive read in the last 3 weeks online n reddit and various other forums these 5800x-s are absolute DOGS for thermals for most people, idle 40-50, max out in games around 70 and allc9re load around 75-85... Some lucky peeps got lucky ,some got (like me) an absolute wet dog lol...
My last ditch effort to gain a bit more fps is getting another 16gb kit of the same ram I have for dual rank operation and then with the cou being capped at 89C im bios, fans turned down (cos the arctic freezer isnt radiator or liquid temp limited, its outright pumpspeed limited lile every other aio) I get around 4400-4500mhz allcore at the aforementioned 89C sustained, sometimes 4300-4200 in prime95 or a very heavy blender run and my games arent effected much , I still get singlecore boosts of aroumd 4950-5050 and 3-4-5 core boosts of around 4670 so at this point Im just gonna settle on this one, be happy getting 74fps on ultra rt in cp77 1440p and wait for the 5000 series refresh with hopefully better temps.
