Sounds like we are all on the same boat.
What cooling is that under?

Well, I'm now in the club! I have bought a ASUS Prime X470-P (been very happy with my Z87 Sabretooth over the years), 16GB 3600 RAM, 1TB Patriot Viper M.2 NVMe drive, 500GB WD Green M.2 SATA drive, 3700X for £830 (of which OCUK for £530 or so).

How old is your H100i? Mine is 4+ years old. I assume you needed to buy a bracket for AM4?
Your VID reaches up to 1.1v, mine hits 1.5v, did you set your manually?i'm getting 1.5v all the time when gaming on auto, cores seem to hit 4.3Ghz.
think i'm going to manual overclock for now. I can get 4.3Ghz with 1.35v Intelburntest stable.

3 radiators for 100-150mhz boost in clocks, seems worth it lul

1 week old, am4 bracket was included

Well shes built:
3700X
X570 Taichi
64GB Corsair 3466Mhz
960 Evo
Had to use the stock cooler as my Tisis was far too large.
Didnt bother with a reinstall, booted straight into windows with no problem!
BIOS update to fix whine of the chipset fan done.

You're going to boost higher with adaptive voltage, you're going to get better all core clocks with fixed (assuming you OC).
no its on auto (Gigabyte Aorous Gaming 7). in hwinfo it shows 1.087v. 1.5 is way too high should be around 1.0 - 1.2 max

Good god the stock cooler is loud. That has to go.
3700x incoming from ocuk tomorrow.
x570 taichi.
vega 64 blower but that will be swapped out soon.
g.skill ram that i bought a while back that's rated out of the box as 3600CL16 so it it go higher im hoping?
I got a 970 1tb nvme evo off rain forrest cheap so that will be the primary boot drive. Bunch of other nvme and sata ssd to plug into other slots. mechanical drives are going to finally get scrapped.
240 aio cooler.
upgrading from a cheap b350 mobo and ryzen 1700 that i ran at 3.85, ram was 3466c16.
old setup was far from bad but im hoping for some visible improvements.

So I went to fixed voltage and now I get lower idle temps. Also now I dont get those nasty voltage spikes.
Instead of overclocking all cores to the same speed, I overclocked one of my 1st CCX higher and the second 2nd CCX lower to reduce temps. I have now a "fast" CCX for single core, along with a slower CCX to reduce temps in all cores. Similar to how phones work now.
