Percentages don't say a whole lot, what RPM are you running your fans at?
I'm running my 120mm Vardars at 585rpm and my 140mm Noctuas at 792rpm. Dropping the fans speeds lower than this doesn't seem to make any difference to fan noise. I changed my fan curve to go up gradually by 4% from 65c to...
I've been running prime95 all night and it peaked at 83C over night. It is sitting on average of 77-78C.
The reason I wanted to lap the CPU was the wild occassional spikes. The way I set up my fan curve meant that my fans were ramping while doing mundane shit like browsing youtube. The lapping...
I just checked my 3dmark results and the difference is -3C +22Mhz CPU and -4C +38Mhz GPU +45Mhz mem in timespy.

This is completely unscientific though. I'm not entirely sure if the BIOS and overclock settings are the same between runs...
I didn't check it sorry, the rebuild was done in a rush as I'm back at university this week. I was seeing peaks of 89C before lapping. The most I've seen so far is 82C. I also feel like there is still room for improvement if I lap the water block as well. That might be something I will consider...
Without waiting for the loop to warm up I'm seeing a peak of 77C while running prime95. I don't expect to see a big difference even after a few hours as we're only talking about cooling 90W. with three massive radiators I'd expect to see maybe 1-2C more after running this for a few hours.
I'm...
Finally finished the rebuild. I'm reasonably happy with the new bends. The only problem is that I did something really stupid. I cleaned everything and flushed the radiators for hours. After I got done with the bending I contemplated flushing the loop once more for good measure but figured I had...
I started the rebuild on Friday (NZ time) and it still isn't done. I have a warning if anyone is contemplating doing this.
I started with a goal of a 2mm 'shave'. 120 grit sand paper wasn't cutting it so I went back to the hardware store and got a few pieces of 80 grit. There really is no...
Jays2cents lapped almost 1mm off a 7950X3D and saw almost 10C temp difference. Thats not insignificant.
I usually see about 85W under load so I don't think a limit of 105W will do anything.
There is no way I would delid a CPU again. I killed a few xeons doing this. The last successful delid I...
I'm planning on rebuilding this thing for a few reasons:
Even after I did my best to clean my loop, I'm seeing debris in my CPU block, so it needs a clean.
I've heard that GPU PCBs are cracking so I bought a new vert PCIe4.0 GPU mount.
I want to update my storage while I have this thing apart...
I am definitely going to vert mount this beast. I don't know if my setup helps; I have a full ekwb block and hardline tubing which provides a little support but I kinda liike the idea of vert mounting the GPU with this RGB block, it will definitely enhance the looks.
I have an Enthoo Elite so...
I made a thing:
7800X3D new build, help please?
Unfortunately all is not well becuase apparently Gigabyte GPUs have been cracking and this is news to me only after I built the damn thing. So anyway, I'm thinking I can mitigate any risk with a vertical GPU mount. I'm definitely sorted in that...
