***The Official 5900X \5950X owners thread***

Nice to be part of a owners thread thats just 5 ! Pages long ! :) installed my 5950x yesterday, just need to sort out some more fans !! Today for the cooling ! Before i can start testing, idle is currently 50c is that normal ?

What am i looking for testing wise, looking at previous posts i should be running cinebnch R23 and timespy ?

One more question, i see no ones mentioned precision overboost 2! Which is coming with Agesa 1.1.80 in a bios update, its so say supposed to incorporate undervolting, surely that will make a massive difference when implemented ??
 
That's on the high end, I'm only use air cooling and the idles on our 3 machines are ~38, going up to ~50-60 when running Novabench/Cinebench. That's with a 3090 sat in the upper PCI slot about 10mm below the heatsink.
 
yeah my 3600 ran at those temps in same system in pic either as is or with 120mm AIO unfortunately I can’t fit the AIO due to some beast lurking at the bottom of my case AKA Freddy the 6800 XT nitro !

Just installed. Applied XMP for RAM only and ran CB R23.

Temps with Dark Rock Pro 4 seem good, topping out about 67 degrees celsius.

Just had my new system arrive as long overdue for a new one.

I've got a 360mm AIO from Corsair but it can't cope with 5950X all cores at 4.6GHz / 1.3V which is very disappointing even at 100% fans, and crashed during a handbrake test even though the overall CPU utilisation was around 65%.

If it wasn't for thermal shutdown, I reckon I could run this at 4.7GHz all core 1.33V as that seemed stable.

Might just be a bad paste job on a core, as the overall CPU temp was reported at 75C. I've had to drop this to 45x multiplier at 1.275V just to stop thermal shutdown at high load.

I ran my Intel 5960X at 4.4GHz / 1.275V which was probably pulling 100W more, on a 240mm radiator, so can't see a 360mm AIO being so much worse than this.

witb those settings the 5950x will be pulling 300w+
 
I'm guessing that I need to re-apply thermal paste / re-seat cooler? Seems to be quite a difference in max and average temps between CCDs and too high on CCD1...

It's not the AIO, it's the cpu. I've got a h150i and it can't keep temp down at 1.3v manual. Managed a 8700k up to 1.425v no problem. Using pbo / curve / auto boost like the chips meant to there's no issue with the h150, temp doesn't go above 80deg. Manual oc puts out a hell of a lot of heat.

See if you can balance it by changing mount pressure.

Bit strange, running CB R23, they're both maxing out about 68 degrees centigrade.

I'm assuming it was when I was running MSFS or Cyberpunk that the anomaly occurred. Might keep an eye on it, have also updated HWinfo to the latest just in case.

It's a bit of a headache just getting PC out to work on, then would have to remove GPU (pain in itself as I have to remove RAM to get at the release), then remove middle CPU cooler fan to get at mounting screws!

Thanks guys, appreciate the input, may well have to rethink things!

Turns out fan filters (I'd obviously left cleaning those far too long!) and a general clean up was all that was needed. CB temps are still pretty much the same but before cleaning noticed that temperatures were just rising and rising steadily in gaming - all sorted now :D

Back to enjoying the CPU... Idling around 33 degrees centigrade, which is a lot better than my previous 3900x.
