With 5800X/5600X even with relaxed power limits they don't output much more power than stock. So liquid coolers don't have an inherent advantage.

Its more about efficient heat transfer from CCX to the base of the cooler and whether topology of heatpipes or water channels is compatible with CCX position under heat spreader. So quite possible some medium range air coolers could have an unexpected advantage.
 
Changed PBO to Enabled
Curve optimiser Motherboard and negative 10 on all cores.
100mhz increase

Not sure how results look below but please let me know if all looks normal;

if it crashes during the day well then its not normal.
I tried to curve optimize but it had one odd crash a day.
went back to a simple 200mhz pbo2 oc and no issues.
 
Guys, now you have all had the 5*** series for a while; hoping could get some first hand advice.

My brother is putting together a 5800X system, what sort of cooling will he need?
As his budget is limited, considering a lower level cooler, and then upgrading to something better/quieter/AIO later, but only if he's not going to suffer tremendously/have heavy instability, really just want to get the machine together so he can check all the parts he's received already are working fine before we have more headaches RMA'ing.

Normally I'd suggest something like an Evo 212, but not sure that's up to managing the 5800X!

Thanks!

There should be an ECO mode in the BIOS, use it to lock it to a lower power state, that way the Evo 212 should be ok, long term i would recommend a 240mm AIO.

would be fine with a mid range air cooler.
using a noctua u12s for my 5600x at 4850mhz without issues.
 
Thanks, I just spoke to him a little earlier and he has seen the light in terms of getting everything tested, even if he'll be replacing with a slightly stronger/newer PSU etc in future. He done a skim around to find a bit of extra cash, and has ordered a decent AIO, so I will leave him to it.
The last thing I want for him is to wait 3 months to get all the parts together; and then discover something doesn't work, and he has trouble getting replacements quickly because they want to do testing etc as he's sat on everything for a few months :)
 
I seem to be getting better temps and more consistent performance with just setting an all core OC of 4550mhz at 1.26v. When I set and tweak PBO with a -5 or -10 offset (which doesn't seem very stable when I do this) and run Cinebench R23 I end up with a lower sustained boost of 4450mhz and it still pumps way more voltage into the CPU than I like which sends my temps 10c higher than with the all-core OC.

Of course my 5800x likely isn't a great clocker, in addition to the CPU running hot on my air cooling anyway, but overall my best 24/7 settings seem to be the all-core OC even if I do lose 5% or so single core performance.

-10 for me see 4.7 all core in R23. Lighter all core sees 4.8. Not believing it, I've tested a couple of times - multiple apps to see if HWMonitor was giving me bum info but it was spot on. When I ran the diagnostics on the CTR 2.0 it did tell me I lucked in and got a Golden sample - again I don't believe that as I've never lucked it before.

Having said that, my chip appears to have a weak IMC or the BIOS on the Taichi is bad (4.0). IF is strong though.

I just ran CTR2.0 and apparently I have... a BRONZE sample. LOL. :D

I wonder if it matters that I didn't plug both CPU cables into the motherboard... but then only one cable should be ok for 300w or so right?

I really want an AIO in my case... need to figure out how to squeeze one in. :o

EDIT - Here are my results...

It's actually very accurate as those ARE the voltages I am using for around those clock speeds. Seems like a really great tool. :)

Can you please put your results in here guys? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/foru...olden-sample-post-your-results-here.18920881/ :)
 
Well what da ya know!? I treated myself to a new case today, the Phanteks Enthoo 719 full tower and I saw my idle and light load work temps drop between 10 and 15 degrees! Reduction of 5-6 degrees at full load. This would be understandable if I had moved from a small case, but my previous case was the full tower Phanteks Enthoo Luxe! I can't believe it! I wasn't expecting any performance uplift, I was just fed up with the pillar on the window panel of my old case blocking my view of my ram and the end of my red devil GPU. The 5800X sure is a sensitive chip! I've gained the following performance just be changing case and lowering the temps:

+300 points in multicore R23
+50 Mhz all core boost - now boosting to 4.7 all cores
almost hitting 700 points single and 7000 points multi in CPU-Z benchmark. Previously I was around 675 and 6700.
+300 points CPU score in Timespy
+500 points physics score in Firestrike Extreme.
latency score in AIDA 64 mem test reduced from 67 to 63 ns

As a measure of the sensitivity the chip has to temp and performance, I started off with the wrath prism air cooler and struggled to hit 14000 multi score in R23. I then replaced this with the Phanteks AIO 360 cooler which allowed me to score over 15000. Now the better environment in the new case is adding a further 300 points to those scores. Buzzing! :)

Edit: Ok so rather embarrassingly, I forgot to consider the 'cold start' for the some of the boost I seen. I'm still seeing reduced temps and higher scores, but most have come down 100 points or so once I was up and running for a while! :rolleyes:

Nice man, congrats! PS your reasons for changing your case did make me laugh. :D
